Southwest Tech College Communication Updates
Update From President, Jason S. Wood, Ph.D. – July 23, 2021
Greetings, Colleagues!
Go ahead and celebrate…BUCKS IN SIX!!! Congratulations to our very own Milwaukee Bucks for winning the NBA championship. As a fan of both basketball and competition, I enjoyed learning more about Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo. This glimpse into what he has overcome to rise to the very top of his profession, yet still remain grounded and humble, is inspiring. (Delete reference to the Green Bay Packers for obvious reasons)
News from around a super awesome two-year technical college:
- COVID Update
- We are aware of the highly contagious Delta strain now dominating the new cases. At this point we are monitoring the local situation, staying updated with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, watching for state-issued requirements, and consulting with local health officials. Our COVID Operations Team is considering the best options to keep people safe and continue learning in our programs.
- We emphasize the importance of vaccinations while recognizing some people have a medical or non-medical rationale for not getting vaccinated. We will continue to respect each other despite a variety of philosophical differences guiding our individual choices.
