Envision Fond du Lac’s 2020 Career Connections, held January 7, 8, 9, officially wrapped up Tuesday evening with a debrief meeting encompassing school, business and MPTC representatives. The overwhelming consensus from the committee was that “year four was the best Career Connections yet!”  Presenters offered more interactive sessions than ever before, student movement from room to room was smooth, and some minor tweaks to the welcome sessions created the positive results the committee had hoped for.

Of course, none of these successes would have been possible without all of you! We had more than 100 MPTC employees fill 190 timeslots, which included welcoming presenters, guiding students to their assigned rooms and ensuring students got safely to their buses. If you were one those 100-plus – thank you, thank you!

A special thank you also goes out to our housekeeping staff for their efforts with room set up and take down, to our instructional technology staff who ensured room technology was ready to go, and to our facilities staff who helped in so many various ways!

So, again, we say “thank you” for helping Moraine Park ensure those who entered our doors during those three days, left our college with a new appreciation for what we have to offer.
