Umbrellas and hoodies raised against the day's scattered showers, Open House visitors – including this group with Student Ambassador Steven E. Dannenhower – persevered in completing their day's activities.
Students at the Advanced Automotive Technology Center on Wahoo Drive sparked conversation with visitors by sharing their projects. Michel M. Sloan, a junior in automotive technology management from Harmony, and her fellow students are prepping an electric car for the 21st Century Challenge competition at Penn State.
Frank M. Daugherty, of Brogue, a sophomore in the electronics and computer engineering technology: robotics and automation emphasis major, shows his project – programming a step motor – to a pair of visitors. Students in electronics and computer engineering technology classes traditionally develop projects to demonstrate during Open House.
Undeterred by pre-April showers, landscape/horticulture technology students and alumni installed pavers outside the college's award-winning Children's Learning Center.
Lee D. Michels, '11, construction management, was among alumni returning to welcome visitors to campus. Michels, of Manassas, Va., is a project manager with Honeywell and said he wanted to volunteer at Open House because he "needed a weekend off from work."
