Each year 91制片厂 recognizes the achievements of highly accomplished alumni at its Distinguished Alumni Awards ceremony. This year鈥檚 honorees range from a decorated firefighter, to a compassionate hospice nurse, to a self-starting veteran. When asked what advice they have for future 91制片厂 alumni, they were quick to offer their wisdom. Here鈥檚 what they had to say.
Ann Portmann
Give back to the instructors who supported you, by giving to their current students. Reach out to them and offer to speak to their students and welcome the opportunity to mentor students in your current workplace.
Scott Lietzow
Take advantage of all the opportunities 91制片厂 provides. Your time at 91制片厂 is short, but as long as you get involved, you will have memories that last a lifetime. If you take full advantage of your time, you will be surprised at what you have learned and the friends that you have made. I have some of my fondest memories at 91制片厂 because I didn鈥檛 let time slip away.
Joe McEnery
Your Education will open many doors in your future. The more you learn, the more doors you will be able to choose from.
A.J. Collier
My advice to current and future 91制片厂 students is to be all-in. It鈥檚 easy to show
up for class and leave as soon as it鈥檚 over, but part of the complete college experience
is to, in fact, experience it. Get involved in something or, better yet, somethings! Make a friend or, better
yet, friends! Though I met my wife while at 91制片厂, so this is one area where the
singular is just fine.
Dr. Craig Winkelman
I believe education is the key that opens doors of opportunity. My advice to future 91制片厂 alumni is to always be willing to learn new things, at any age or time of life. Additionally, don鈥檛 be afraid to push yourself out of your comfort zone from time to time and step through new doors of opportunity.
