I'm in my second year as the College Recruitment Officer, and it's gratifying to see so many of the people I helped get started here in classes and moving toward brighter futures. I'm a true education advocate, having earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. I've also worked in public relations and as a newspaper reporter and a librarian.

Where right brain meets left brain

One of the cool things about the Havasu campus is our San Juan annex. While the architectural aspects of our campus' oldest facility may not have obvious charms, it's one of the funnest places to learn at MCC. San Juan is home to our heating, ventilation and air-conditioning lab. Next door are our ceramics and sculpture studios, including two kilns and a forge. The two sides of San Juan actually have a lot in common. They both offer hands-on learning while attracting students who really love what they do. And it's fun to see what happens when the two sides meet, as they did last night when HVAC students dropped in on a ceramics class and got excited by what was happening there. "We should be taking this class," one student said.
