An Ӱֱ State College instructor and recent graduate were pictured among the featured photos published on the cover of Malco Back to School News this fall. Jeff Patronek, a faculty member in ASC’s Building Trades Department, is shown congratulating his student Mitch Splawski, Jamestown, class of 2010, who won a “Head of the Class” award in the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) category. As ASC’s top winner, Splawski received a tool valued at approximately $200. All students in the class received a hat and were entered into a drawing for $500. Once each school term, Malco Products recognizes outstanding students who are graduating from an accredited HVACR course of instruction. The Malco “Head of the Class” program rewards top graduates with a significant tool prize from the Malco catalog, as well as a congratulatory certificate and, of course, a Malco cap! Splawski now works as a service technician for Mazza Mechanical Services.
