Edison State
Works Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
Edison State Community College will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and
open house event on Thursday, March 9, 2017, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in
the West Hall of the Piqua Campus to introduce its latest resource,
Edison State Works.
Edison State Works is a workforce development and education initiative
intended to connect Edison State students and staff, regional
employers, and communities with an opportunity for growth.
The initiative is tightly bound to Edison State's mission statement and
strategic plan which states: "Edison State Community College provides
the learning opportunities, support services and commitment that
enables students to complete their educational goals and realize their
dreams."
"It is my hope that Edison State Works will act as the catalyst for
creative avenues between our talented students and high-demand,
well-paid careers in our region," said Edison State President, Dr.
Doreen Larson.
"Edison State Community College has the potential to act as a major
factor in the health and growth of the economy in the region and Edison
State Works will provide the framework from which we can begin to reach
that potential."
The designated area will serve as a place for area businesses and
organizations to connect with Edison State students, faculty and staff
to raise awareness, build and strengthen relationships, and further
develop workforce opportunities.
"While a major component of Edison State Works is the newly purposed
space, the project itself aspires to engage the entire campus and
communities we serve to impact each of our students in a positive way,"
added Dr. Larson.
"We want to take a new approach to the work-based learning experience
and strengthen our overall partnerships with regional employers."
The open house event will include light refreshments. For more
