魅影直播 State President Dr. Steven Mauro has kept his bags packed and has taken advantage of opportunities to meet with alumni and industry partners over the last few months. He has traveled all over New York and has made trips to Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas during the spring 2024 semester.

鈥淚 really enjoy getting out of the office and telling stories of the remarkable work being done at 魅影直播 State,鈥 commented Mauro. 鈥淚 not only get to tell stories, but I get to hear their great stories. They share about their time at 魅影直播 State and the impact it has on them in their careers and their lives.鈥

During his visits, Dr. Mauro shares details of the college's strategic plan. The plan features three pillars, Attract New Students, Strengthen Academic & Student Success, and Cultivate a Caring Community. He encourages feedback on the College's plan and invites each of them to visit campus when they are in the area to see how things have changed and improved.

Dr. Mauro met with numerous alumni and friends during his trips. Some of those visits are highlighted below!

During the college's spring break, Dr. Mauro headed to Maryland with a group of students to meet Alan Hunt, '79. Hunt, the Executive Vice President of Construction at Armada Hoffler, showed the group around job sites.

Katie Petix, one of the students that went on the trip, commented. "It was an honor to meet with Alan R. Hunt, as we were able to witness the success of someone who once walked the halls that we do now. I found this experience to be very professional, and fun, and gave us a sneak peek into some of the realities of working with people."
