You’re getting sleeeeepy. Very, very sleepy.

You’re not? Hmmm … well, I guess we’ll leave that to the pros, like hypnotist Chris Jones. He’s appeared on America’s Got Talent, and visited our campuses this week at Moraine Park to give several hilarious performances sponsored by our Student Senate groups. A large outpouring of faculty, staff and students turned out to witness the energetic, interactive fun.

How much fun? Well, take a look at the silliness we enjoyed in the gallery below. And while looking at the increasing mix of shock, laughter and disbelief on everyone’s faces, we dare you not to smile!

THROWBACK: “Office Machine Repair,” then and now …

old image of former student working on computer repair project

How’s that old saying go? “The more things change, the more they stay the same?”

Well, there’s probably some truth to that. Certainly the business equipment people use every day has evolved over time. But the fact remains that any equipment, regardless of what era it’s used in, needs a helping hand for maintenance, support and repair.

At Moraine Park, we’ve been helping train and educate those helping hands for decades. Continue reading
