Convergence Technology Students Recognized!
Convergence
Technology
student Brett McCormick and Patrick Neff, a graduate of
Collin’s Convergence Technology program, were recognized at the recent
Advanced Technological Education Principle Investigators Conference in
Washington, D.C. The two were among 55 students
from around the country who were given the National Science
Foundation’s Advanced Technology Education Student Award for
Excellence. Brett and Patrick gave demonstrations of college projects
they worked on at a showcase session. In order to be chosen, they had
to apply and submit an essay. Collin has been fortunate to have
students accepted for this honor for the past three years.
Congratulations to Brett and Patrick. We appreciate the Convergence
Technology Director Helen Sullivan and Program Manager Ann Blackman for
the program’s many successes.
