A few of our 2017-2018 Student Ambassadors!
Meet Wendy
Hi! My name is Wendy and I am from North Grand High School in Chicago. In the Spring of 2019 I will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Construction Technology.
Why I chose Morrison; Living in the city most of my life I wanted a change in environment. Morrison Tech is very welcoming and small. With the college being so small teachers can focus on each student. In a large college you have to make appointments to speak to a teacher. I receive plenty of help from the instructors and I am sure I am learning much more here than other places. Plus there is not a lot of distraction, so that makes it even better After I graduate I would like to continue my studies to become a civil engineer than receive a professional degree.
Fun Fact About Myself? I ran a marathon my Junior year of High School
Best advice for incoming student and those starting their college search - do your research on colleges that YOU think would be best for YOU! The name of the college does not matter, what they offer does
Meet Derek

I am a few months away from graduation and have already interviewed with several of the employers who seek out Morrison graduates.
