Morrison Tech 2018 Spring Commencement Ceremony
The 78th graduating class of Morrison Tech celebrated their two years of hard work at a graduation ceremony on Saturday April 28, 2018 in the Parkinson Auditorium. Students coming from varying states and backgrounds smiled, cheered and shook many hands as they realized that they had closed an important chapter in their lives.
The ceremony featured three speeches delivered by students from each area of study. The students chosen to represent their programs were: Jose Perez Robles, Mechanical ET, Gage Miller, Construction ET and Ben Wrocynski, Network Administration.
The ceremony also recognized the retirement of Mr. Jim Prombo, who has served the college for the last 13 years. Mr. Prombo has held several positions at the college most recently as an instructor. Many lives have been affected by Mr. Prombo’s teachings and story telling, and has long been a favorite of the student body, he will be missed.
In addition to the awarding of degrees, several students received additional awards and recognitions:
Matthew Kirgan-Excellence in Building & Construction Technology
James Castle-Excellence in Drafting Technology
Eban Pribble- Excellence in Engineering Technology
Matthew Johnson-Excellence in Mathematics
Matthew Johnson-Excellence in Network Administration
Jose Perez Robles-Excellence in Communication
Within minutes, these young adults went from being students to becoming alumni of Morrison Tech. Many of the graduates will start their careers, some as soon as today, while others will continue their education at a 4 year institution.
“It is bittersweet to see part of our Morrison Tech family leave. Over the past two years, these students have left us with unforgettable memories. Watching these young men and women step out into the real world prepared to tackle anything - leaves us proud and really hits home on how fast life travels. As a college we thank the students and their families for allowing us to be a part of their lives for the past two years.” said Mr. Christopher Scott, Morrison Tech President.
