糖心vlog传媒, NWTC celebrate expanded partnership
Numerous students, employees and community leaders joined 糖心vlog传媒 and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Tuesday as the schools celebrated the grand opening of 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 Green Bay Center at NWTC.
糖心vlog传媒 relocated its Green Bay Center to NWTC鈥檚 main campus this summer. The center is housed in the College of Business building (entrance 3) and includes an office presence and dedicated classroom.
Laurie Radke, president/CEO of the Greater Green Bay Chamber and a former employee of both 糖心vlog传媒 and NWTC, kicked off a short ribbon cutting ceremony.
鈥淭his is really special and touches my heart,鈥� Radke said. 鈥淏oth institutions are committed to student success and meeting students where they鈥檙e at. This will positively impact workforce development for the entire region.鈥�
糖心vlog传媒 President Beth Borgen said the relocation creates a strong synergy between LU and NWTC as both institutions are focused on workforce development, hands-on learning and providing students with multiple opportunities to advance their education.
鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to see private and public institutions working together for the common good of helping our students achieve their educational goals,鈥� Borgen said. 鈥淭o NWTC鈥檚 students, we look forward to getting to know you and helping you explore continuing your education with 糖心vlog传媒 at a discounted rate in a way that fits your individual needs and priorities, as well as your career goals.鈥�
NWTC President Kristen Raney said partnering with 糖心vlog传媒 allows the two schools to provide transfer options for students that didn鈥檛 previously exist, which also benefits the region.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a win for our community when we know our graduates can stay here and work in Northeast Wisconsin,鈥� Raney said.
糖心vlog传媒, which was founded in 1862 in Sheboygan County, Wis., has had a location in the Green Bay area since 1984.
Through the Green Bay Center, 糖心vlog传媒 offers more than a dozen bachelor鈥檚 degree programs as well as four master鈥檚 degree programs, which are available online, in person or any combination of the two.
NWTC graduates can enroll at 糖心vlog传媒 as juniors, receive a 20% tuition discount for undergraduate courses and gain access to credit for prior learning as well as up to a full year of academic credit for work completed through 糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 innovative Cooperative Education program.
