Student Appreciation Cook-out

May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Community Care College, Clary Sage College, and Oklahoma Technical College dedicate May 3rd – 7th as Student Appreciation Week. All week, students will be surprised with snacks, special events, and giveaways.

“This week gives our faculty and staff a wonderful opportunity to show appreciation to students on all three campuses,” says Dr. Kevin Kirk, College President. “They work very hard for their achievements, and we believe it is important for our community to show their support.”

Each day will hold a new surprise for the College’s students. Vendors throughout the community have donated coupons, gift certificates, snacks and door prizes to distribute to students throughout the week. Additionally, the College is sponsoring cookout events at all three campuses, using a smoker built by Oklahoma Technical College’s very own welding students.

The smoker was used as a teaching aid with donated materials. The students laid out pipe using skills taught in class. It was assembled with three different types of welding procedures (MIG, TIG and stick).  “With a lot of cooperation and work we now have a smoker,” said Welding Instructor Richard Lee. This was a class project that all campuses will enjoy.
