Upper
Valley Career Center Students Experience Edison
Nearly 350 Upper Valley Career Center students were on Edison State
Community College’s Piqua Campus Friday, October 28 for the third
annual Experience Edison event. The junior and senior classes of Upper
Valley CC toured the campus and engaged in breakout sessions, which
highlighted the College’s various fields of study.
“It was clear that the students enjoyed their time on campus,” said
Stacey Bean, Enrollment Manager at Edison State. “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 State,” added Bean.
While on campus, students participated in hand-on activities with
Edison State instructors, which paralleled their field of study at
Upper Valley CC. Breakout sessions included such career program areas
as Engineering, Computer Information Technology, Early Childhood
Education, Physical Therapy, Business, Office Systems and
Administration, Nursing, Phlebotomy, and Medical Laboratory Technician.
Enrollment managers also highlighted 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 State, allowing them to make optimal use of their time and
money.
“By choosing Edison State, these students have the potential to earn
college credit while still in high school and save a lot of money in
the process.”
