We had one of our incredible Advisory Members, @arosswelding, visit our Welding/Fabrication class on the Drumright campus yesterday! Austin shared his invaluable pipe welding tips and tricks with both our AM and PM classes. Our students were thrilled to learn from such a knowledgeable and inspiring mentor.
Thank you, Austin, for being a huge contributor to our program and a valuable friend to our Welding/Fabrication Technology class 🙌

Evening HVAC students got the opportunity to diagnose why a residence was not keeping warm. The culprit? A failed heating component. Students performed all of the work by diagnosing the failed components, taking out the failed heating parts, putting in the new parts, and washing filters. What a great learning experience just before the winter storm hit our area.
