Student Success Story:

In working in conjunction with the construction program, the instructors there were thoroughly impressed with 3 of the young ladies from the Interior Design Drafting program who were completing the construction portion for their certificate.  Nicole Patane, Michaela Mendoza, and Elizabeth Eyre worked hard, came up with great ideas and showed the young men within the construction program that girls can do this too.  The drafting program is very proud of the work these girls did and the impression they left within the construction program.
