Well, that went well!

With the holiday season approaching, Moraine Park wanted to give back and show support for the men and women who are serving our country overseas.

In order to make their time a little more enjoyable away from home this holiday season, students and staff from Moraine Park’s Beaver Dam campus conducted a “Christmas in a Shoebox” drive (all donations – deodorant, eye drops, candy, snacks, books, movies, etc. – had to be small enough to fit inside a shoebox). The drive was organized by the Beaver Dam Student Senate, and roughly 100 different students helped at various points of the project.

In previous years, our record for overall donations was 35 boxes. This year, we aimed higher – hoping to gather enough for 50 boxes of donated items.

Complimentary Business Forum:
Employee Engagement and the Impact on YOUR Business

How are YOU engaging employees?

Featured presenters:

Beth Mendoza, Director of Talent Management, MPTC and
Amy Beaman, Organizational Leadership Trainer, MPTC

Does your culture make you an employer of choice? Do you foster an environment that promotes collaboration, employee satisfaction and engagement? Kevin Kruse, author of Employee Engagement 2.0, defines employee engagement as “… the emotional commitment an employee has to the organization and its goals, resulting in the use of discretionary effort.” Higher employee engagement has been proven to positively affect productivity, customer service and retention because employees are using discretionary effort in ways that affect these important factors.
Join us for this complimentary session as presenters explore benefits, strategies and resources to drive engagement within your organization. Panel presenters will share insight into their employee engagement journey, challenges they faced and their vision for the future. Through a facilitated round table dialogue with your peers, your mind will be opened to new ideas about methods for driving stronger employee engagement, retention, and overall implementation strategies within your organization.

Purple Hair: Why You Should Care

Herein lies another adventurous day at Moraine Park. My name is Carol and I am the Advertising and Social Media manager at the college. I started my position at Moraine Park in January, 2016, and one of the first things that I realized is that the college’s programs and curriculum are relevant, hands on, and backed up with the highest end equipment and resources.

So, as I have slowly made my way around the college into classrooms it has been awe inspiring to see students prepare themselves for their field, especially with the support and dedication of staff and faculty. Continue reading
