WKCTC Showcases the Difference in its Student Body

2017 Mar 2

Jodi Powers of West Paducah was one of three students introduced by West Kentucky Community and Technical College President Anton Reece during the Paducah Chamber of Commerce's Power in Partnership breakfast March 2, 2017 at the Julian Carroll Convention. WKCTC was the sponsor of the breakfast which featured Lauren K. Brand, associate administrator for Intermodal Systems Development for the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration.

Jodi is a student ambassador, president of Phi Theta Kappa and mother of four children, who is currently working with other students to establish an international student organization on campus. She expects to graduate in the fall of 2017 and plans to transfer to Murray State University to pursue a degree in organizational communication.

Also during the March 2 breakfast meeting, Dr. Reece announced WKCTC's Education Express: Connecting Communities Tour with stops planned in Carlisle County and in Massac County, Ill March 15-17.

Dr. Reece said his vision for WKCTC includes expanding more into the region the college serves.

"We are going out to communities throughout our four river area; my entire team and I will be saturating these areas, spending quality time, not only in the schools but also with our nontraditional students, businesses and industries - and exploring workforce training opportunities."
