Hannah Fudge

Student spotlight: Hannah Fudge

When I started college, I developed a deeper love for math and science, which is an encouragement to continue on my degree path. As a chemical engineer, I will use my science background to problem-solve and think on my feet in a production or design setting. I do not know the options I will have as an engineer, but right now, what I love most about my degree path is learning more about how the world works through chemistry and math.

Trevor Williams

Summer Job Changed This College Student's Career Path

A natural aptitude for tinkering and fixing things started a career path for Trevor Williams. He started in the mill room at Waupaca Foundry in 2011 while he was finishing a degree in Criminal Justice at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. "I've always tinkered with stuff and I like fixing things," he said. â€œSo I volunteered for maintenance one weekend—then I kept volunteering for that work."
