Hi Blog Buddies!
A pinning ceremony is a symbolic welcoming of newly-graduated nurses into the nursing profession. Wichita Area Technical College participates in this long honored tradition each year with its Licensed Practical Nursing graduates. The new nurses are presented with nursing pins by the faculty of the nursing department. Below you will find a short video of our Spring 2010 pinning ceremony. I would like to send out a heartfelt congratulations to all of our students, faculty, and staff who worked so hard and put many hours of study and effort into this extremly intense yet tremendously rewarding program offered by Wichita Area Technical College!

WATC - Wichita River Festival May 7, 2010 - "River Me Timbers"
Hi Blog Buddies!
Friday, May 7, 2010, the streets of Downtown Wichita were lined with Pirates, Scallywags, Landlubbers, and of course a parrot or two! As a crowd of approximately 45,000 people cheered on local businesses, political officals, organizations and schools including Wichita Area Technical College as they energetically moved along the River Festival Sundown Parade route. Over 60 WATC Faculty, Staff, and Students gathered to show our FABULOUS school spirit and display to the public for the first time our refreshing new logo, school colors, and of course our totally awesome custom Pirate Ship made exclusively for the 2010 River Festival! Our Pirate Ship was built from scratch by our highly skilled and creative instructional staff. Quite a few of our students at our Grove Campus also jumped in and helped out on the project. Stay tuned to www.facebook.com/watcwichita for pictures documenting the building of the WATC Pirate Ship from beginning to completion. I as well as the rest of our crew that participated were so super excited to hear as our float pulled back into the staging area that we won "Best Use Of Theme" for this year's event! If you were unable to catch us at the Sundown Parade, check out this video. Go Team WATC!!!!

Virtual Paint Simulator Technology At Wichita Area Technical College
Hi Blog Buddies!
This past week and this upcoming week Wichita Area Technical College has and will be hosting a couple Board of Education meetings for the Towanda Board of Education at our National Center for Aviation Training. Last Wednesday while visiting with various folks from Towanda and getting caught up with a few instructors I don't get to see on a daily basis, I had an opportunity to experience one of the latest pieces of technology to come on board at WATC...Our Virtual Paint Training Simulator! One word... AMAZING! With a little explanation from Jon Pine, Senior Learning Officer and Kevin Henning, Adjunct Instructor, I thought it would be fun to see how challenging it actually was and gave it a shot. Needless to say, I would need quite a bit more practice before I could be certified "Obviously", but it was fun and very interesting and wanted to give you a little glimpse at this AMAZING new technology. Enjoy!
