Upper Valley CC
students Experience Edison
Over 325 Upper Valley Career Center students were on Edison State
Community College’s Piqua Campus on Friday, October 23 for their second
annual Experience Edison event. The junior and senior classes of Upper
Valley CC toured the campus, participated in information sessions, and
engaged in breakout sessions, which highlighted the College’s various
fields of study.
“It was clear that the students really enjoyed their time on campus,”
said Stacey Bean, Enrollment Manager at Edison.
Students participated in their choice of two hands-on breakout
sessions, which explored such programs as Engineering, Computer
Information Technology, Early Childhood Education, Physical Therapy
Assisting, Business, Office Systems Administration, Nursing,
Phlebotomy, and Medical Laboratory Technology.
During their visit, students also learned about the services available
on campus, which covered such topics as financial aid, transfer
opportunities, and career services.
Also highlighted during the day were the unique pathways that have been
developed specifically for Upper Valley CC students. These
opportunities provide students with a direct pathway from Upper Valley
CC to Edison, allowing them to make optimal use of their time and money
spent on education.
“This event provides a great opportunity for students to meet with
faculty to learn about the direct pathways and articulation agreements
held between Upper Valley Career Center and Edison,” added Bean.
“By choosing Edison, these students have the potential to earn college
credit while still in high school and save a lot of money by doing so.”
Now in its fifth decade of service, Edison Community College is
committed to providing higher education and advanced training
opportunities for the people of the greater Miami Valley. Edison is
accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central
Association of Colleges and Schools and is recognized with the highest
