Tour-ific Success!
The Sydor Optics Advanced Technology Center (SOATC) Opening Celebration Committee extends our heartfelt gratitude to the dozens of faculty and staff who participated in the employee tours of the SOATC on Friday. We also want to give a HUGE thank you to our subject matter experts, Tom Gerwitz, Bob Lasch, Ray Otto, Geoff Pizzey, and Mike Powlin, for sharing their expertise with our tour groups, and to our tour guides, Emily Birnie, Veronica Chiesi Brown, Lori Maddalena, and Carly Rooney, for leading the way!
We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm for this project. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone in our MCC family that makes big things happen for our students and our community.
If you were unable to participate in the tours, please reach out to either of us: Subia Khan (skhan006@monroecc.edu) or Doug Rivers (drivers@monroecc.edu).
Thank you,
Subia and Doug
