OUR STUDENTS SAY… |
|
Although I had been out of high school for many years, and was hesitant to go back to school; I took a chance and committed to making my future, as well as the future of my family brighter. My experience at MTC was great. The professors/instructors were very knowledgeable and each blended their own real world experiences with the current technology needed in the workforce today.
-- Jennie Harford, Accounting Graduate |
|
The hands-on experience that I have received has made me confident in my skills once I graduate. Thanks to MTC, I was able to be on the front lines helping people in the relief efforts during the flood of 2007. It is a great feeling to know that something I may have said or did made a difference in someone’s life.
-- Dolly Williams, Human and Social Service Major

“I was scared to death to go back to college, but once I took that first step, I felt like I had lots of support from the instructors and fellow students.”
-- Linda Mills, Physical Therapist Assistant Program

OUR PROFESSORS SAY ABOUT OUR ADULT STUDENTS … |
I truly enjoy having adult learners in my classes. They bring real-world experiences to the discussion table which helps them relate very well to what we are teaching. Their experiences help other traditional students to see what it's like in the job market. Adult students make great students!!
-- Lea Anna Harah, Professor, Marion Technical College

"I enjoy working with adult students because they are self-directed, with specific goals in mind for their educational experiences. Adults generally bring experience to the classroom and serve as resources to one another. The adult learner also takes real satisfaction from their college experiences.
-- Barbara Stover, Professor, Marion Technical College |
"The adult students in my classes bring with them work and life experience! The adult learners will share their knowledge of the "real" world with the younger students and in turn the younger students share the ins-and-outs of college life with the non-traditional student. This blend of maturity and levels of experiences makes an interesting classroom setting where we are all learning from each other."
-- Pat Fox, Professor, Marion Technical College |
