Three from ��Ӱֱ�� State were honored recently with Outstanding Adult Student Awards.

Automotive Trades Department will be hosting a new driver awareness seminar and child safety seat inspection.

Competing as one of 70 teams in the “Making College Possible Coding Challenge,” the Campus HIVE project duo, which included ��Ӱֱ�� State’s own Justin King, took home fourth place following the final judging at Facebook’s office in New York City.

As he looked through the brochures he was holding, Anthony Harvey liked what he was seeing: information about a college of technology that offered more than 70 hands-on majors and paths to a brighter future.

In celebration of the School of Applied Technology’s 50th anniversary, the Culinary Arts Department will be hosting a Mardi Gras buffet from 5-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, in the Culinary Arts Building on the Wellsville campus.

“We run this as an annual event cooperatively with the Career Development Center to offer opportunities for students to learn about career pathways,” said Electrical Trades Department Chair Jeff Stevens. “It shows our students the choices they have as graduates of ��Ӱֱ�� State.”

"The average age in the trade right now is 53 years. This indicates a workforce that is nearing retirement and shows a large opportunity for youth to get involved,” says Stephen Richard, assistant professor, Building Trades, at ��Ӱֱ�� State.

For the seventh year in a row, some ��Ӱֱ�� State senior building trades: building construction students are heading south to put their skills to work helping those in need. 

The Associate in Occupational Studies degree program will prepare students for a career as a motorcycle/power sports/ small engine technician, incorporating a progressively challenging format and hands-on laboratories, using full-size functioning vehicles.

“This is really an endurance event, so it was exhausting, but the students had a lot of fun and I think we were able to make connections that will help us move our program forward,” Johnson said. “Additionally, this event gets a lot of press, so ��Ӱֱ�� State got a lot of national exposure along the way.”
