Wow! What a lineup of business and industry for the construction carrer night. Speaks so well for the quality of this program.! Word has gotten around about the success of your graduates.
I graduated in 1961, I’m certain I would not recognize the degree programs you now offer. At the time I was a student, the emphasis was on preparing Industrial Arts teachers, which produced some quality teachers. Some graduates went into industry.
This is probably the inappropriate place to put in a “plug” to hear from some of the graduates of about 1958-1961…but I would like to hear from some of you…bring me up to date on your family and career.
Dr Strong, keep up the work that Mr. Kemper ( department head) and Mr. Olan Oatman ( first wood working instructor) started many years ago. Both were of the finest character and had a real concern for the progress of their students. I’m certain that legacy continues until this day.
