Black & White Gourmet Dinner has profound impact on students

Moraine Park Foundation Gourmet Dinner attendees

The Moraine Park Foundation recently hosted its Gourmet Dinner with a special “Black & White” theme.

The event was held on the College’s Fond du Lac campus and helped raise funds for student scholarships and emergency financial assistance. In fact, we’re excited to say that this year’s Gourmet Dinner raised nearly $30,000 for these important causes.

Guests at the event dressed in black and white attire and enjoyed a six-course meal prepared by Moraine Park Culinary Arts students and faculty. They also had the opportunity to enjoy entertainment by local talent, bid on auction items, and try their luck at the event’s popular wine-cork pull and heads-or-tails 50/50 raffle. Take a look at photos from the event below. Continue reading

Hired Before Graduation: My Dream Job!

Moraine Park female student

The upcoming class of 2017 Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) students are entering a field that is exploding with opportunity! One of our students, Crystal Smith, is excited to begin her career in laboratory medicine. She chose our program after completing the phlebotomy certificate program at Moraine Park Technical College. After she enrolled in the phlebotomy course, she learned about the MLT program and decided to pursue a degree in MLT.
