It’s always fun to get updates from our alumni! We recently heard from Sandra, class of ’81.

“I am many years beyond my education at Moraine Park, but I still embrace the memories. I graduated in 1981 with an associate degree in Food Manufacturing Technology – Dairy, the same year that my daughter graduated from high school!  My 26 registered classmates were 20+ years younger than me.  Sadly, only 6 of us graduated.  Some of us earned a trip to the state of Washington to compete in dairy judging. What a wonderful experience!

“After graduating from Moraine Park, I worked at Hillshire Farms in New London in quality control, research and development, and other food-related industry positions. In 2010, I retired from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection – Division of Food Safety after 15 years of service where I was a Laboratory Evaluation Officer. 

“I couldn’t have done it without my degree and the staff and instructors at Moraine Park Technical College. I like sharing my Moraine Park Story. I hope to encourage potential students of all ages to attend and get a degree.”
