Meridian Technology Center

This morning I had the opportunity (thanks for the invite Ken) to visit Meridian Technology Center and to follow along the Prospective Student Tour with a group from Guthrie High School.

The morning started off with this well done video, Mythbuster Style!!



Then we toured the campus at Meridian and were introduced to every career major on campus. The Guthrie students were taken in small groups and heard from students in the particular career major and from some instructors. The group I was with asked some good questions and were a little freaked out by the raw egg in liquid nitrogen! I did notice many of the students picking up career information sheets that provided in depth information on what they had just seen.

I picked up a few new things to add to my CareerTech knowledge base, and I am sure that the students did as well. One thing that I did enjoy was the video, it was fast paced, showcased diversity and answered a lot of questions before the students started to take their tour. (Great job Ken and Tawny!!)

So there you go, another recipe for success in student recruitment.
