Thanks to all who attended the Learning Center Open House and to generous donors who provided prizes for the door prizes!
More than 250 people enjoyed a hot chili bar, BBQ meatballs, a hot chocolate and cappuccino bar, a cookie decorating station, popcorn, and more. The GRCC Acoustical Guitar ensemble, led by Professor Brian Morris, provided superb entertainment. And, now, what you’ve been waiting for … the winners are:
The Open House was hosted by the Academic Support and Tutoring Services, Library and Learning Commons, Media Technologies, and the Woodrick Center for Equity and Inclusion.
It was a long time in the making, but Don Steeby’s HVAC students finally completed the installation and startup of three supermarket display cases for their Commercial Refrigeration class.
Funding for this project was provided by our Michigan CCSTEP grant, which was designed to help community colleges boost skilled trades instruction. Don’s students were instrumental in the installation, electrical wiring, piping, and refrigerant charging of all three cases.
This project will help educate future students in the complex technology used for supermarket refrigeration, which will lead to well-paying jobs in the growing world of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration.
Congratulations to Don’s students!
