- Better Lives for a Better Kentucky -

2018Message from the President:Dr. Steve Vacik

Thank you for taking the opportunity to review the report of accomplishments for Maysville Community and Technical Col-lege for 2017-18. During this time, the college celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with events in Morehead, Mt. Sterling and Maysville, the latter serving as a col-lege-wide open house on the lawn, com-plete with musical entertainment, food and family fun. We were also fortunate enough to welcome home three previous presidents of MCTC, Drs. Shires, Julian and Story to participate in a retrospective of their time of service. With an important final event, the Donor Appreciation Brunch, in Cynthi-ana in November 2018, the college spent an entire year celebrating accomplishments, alumni, benefactors and our communities. Much has changed over the years. How-ever, as I have stated previously, we remain committed to providing quality instruction, individual services and meaningful advoca-cy for our students, business partners and community, to creating better lives for a better Kentucky.

The other major accomplishment for the college during 2017-18 was the completion of a scheduled assessment by our accred-iting agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Col-

leges (SACS-COC). Essentially every ten years, public post-secondary institutions within the southern region are reviewed by our peers for current policies, practices, resources and outcomes, and how these el-ements work to achieve the college mission. Though a final decision by the SACSCOC Executive Board will not come until June 2019, the report on institutional compli-ance authored by our visiting peer team was extremely favorable and MCTC anticipates continued accredited status for another ten years. Most importantly, this self-examina-tion, and verification by our peers, demon-strated that our college is healthy, dynamic and effectively addressing our mission of challenging learners to achieve their goals.

MCTC also has committed to a more holistic approach to student services, wel-coming community mental health providers to campus to deliver counseling services to students, as well as employees. To that end, the college also expanded food pan-tries on each campus to address chronic hunger among our students, another factor that negatively impacts overall retention and completion. In fact, MCTC was one of the limited institutions across

the nation (21 in total) visited by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, as they compiled a report for Congress on this growing problem of food insecurity. Whether mental health and physical health, as well as career and academic guidance, this college has committed to the lives of our students and communities.

There are so many other highlights from the past year – detailed within the report – that provide context for the work which takes place at Maysville Community and Techni-cal College. I encourage you to read further and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office for additional information. On behalf of the faculty, staff, Board of Directors, and students of MCTC, we appreciate your continued support and look forward to another productive year ahead.

MCTC’s Rowan Campus Instructor Awarded

Robotics Training Certification

MCTC’s Workforce Director Named to Talent Pipeline Management Academy

Morehead, KY – MCTC instructor Brandin Perkins has recently been awarded Level One and Level Two Training Factory Certified Trainer by the FANUC America Corporation, a global leading supplier of robotic automation equipment. Obtaining this certi-fication makes him the only certified trainer of this kind in the region. “Brandin is our resident Mr. Gadget,” says MCTC Chief Operations Officer and Rowan Campus Director Russ Ward. “A walk through his lab will show you his talent for electronics and robotics.

He built a 3-D printer from scrap parts, he’s built video games, and even a fully functional and ridable electric motor cycle. But better yet, he instills his passion and curiosity for this field into our students and that is what makes us most proud to have him on campus.”

Maysville, KY – MCTS’s Director of Workforce Develop-ment, Brittany Corde will join twenty-nine other leaders of business, industry, and education from across the state as the first Champions selected to attend Kentucky’s Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) Academy. Earlier this year, Kentucky was designated by the U.S. Chamber Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation as one of three states to implement the academies, and the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center was chosen to carry out the TPM initiative in the Commonwealth.

Talent Pipeline Management is an employer-led approach to identifying specific workforce needs as well as training and quality issues and solutions to persistent workforce-related challenges. The TPM Academy is a three-part program to train Champions on ways to build talent supply chains and launch TPM in their own communities. Since achieving the TPM des-ignation, the Chamber’s Workforce Center has focused on engaging employers to work together on a sector and regional basis to address their workforce needs. The work is being done with the support of the Strada Education Network, a national nonprofit and the founding partner of the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center, and in partnership with the Kentucky Edu-cation & Workforce Cabinet.

The Workforce Center’s Talent Pipeline staff and the Champi-ons selected for the TPM academy will focus on creating spe-cific strategies to meet the needs of different industry and re-gional sectors. By July 2020, more than 25 employer groups, representing regions as well as business and industry sectors, are to be convened to build talent pipelines for 75 high-demand positions.

MCTC hosts 50th Anniversary Celebration

Maysville Community and Technical College (MCTC) will host a 50th Anniversary Cel-ebration at 5 pm on August 26th on the front lawn of its Maysville Campus. All students, faculty, staff, alumni, community partners and friends and family are encouraged to at-tend.

“When you reach fifty, you can’t help but to reflect on the history and change in your organization. But personally, I’m just as excited to see where we go next,” says MCTC President Stephen Vacik. “In my time at MCTC, we’ve faced significant obstacles and experienced a number of changes, not always of our own choosing. But creating oppor-tunities and helping make better lives for our students, that remains the essence of our mission. That will never change.”

Attendees will enjoy a free cookout complete with ice cream and cupcakes. Other activi-ties include a meet and greet with former MCTC presidents, a historical slideshow, and an

opportunity to share your MCTC memories to be featured in a video being produced about the history of the college. The college will also reveal the contents of a time capsule that contains items curated from its long history.

Two live music acts will be entertaining attendees from the main stage on the lawn. Opening the show will be the MCTC Mountain Boys, a bluegrass band that is made up of a group of current or previous HVAC program graduates who recently discovered their shared talent. Then, taking the stage at 7 pm will be The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra. The KSO will be performing their “Class Re-union” set list that features hits from the sixties to today’s biggest hits and is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

“We are beyond excited to be able to present the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra as part of our 50th celebration,” says event organizer and MCTC Foundation Director Cara Clarke. “Through a generous contribution from the Maysville-Mason County Arts Commission and the estate of Ann Scott Mason we are able to present what is sure to be a wonderful evening. We want to fill the lawn with alumni, students and all the friends we’ve made through the years so spread the word!”

MCTC Culinary Program

Sends Team to Kentucky Derby

MCTC Lineman Training School Graduates Assist in Hurricane Relief Efforts

Students from the Maysville Community and Tech-nical College (MCTC) Culinary Arts Program worked with Levy Restau-

rants at the 2018 Kentucky Derby. Levy Restaurants is a restaurant company based in Chicago that provides vending and food services to major entertainment and sports venues. Levy currently holds a food service contract at Churchill Downs, and they sent a request for help with the Kentucky Derby and Oaks Day. MCTC was one of only two Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) programs there to help.MCTC students had to provide a resume and go through an interview process before being hired for the event. This experience gave them real-world prac-tice by working 60 hours in only four days, and some days the hours ranged from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. During that time, students assisted in several kitchens at Churchill Downs, including those in the Terf Club and Millionaires Row. They prepared over a 1,000 pounds of green beans, 140 pounds of brussel sprouts, 500 pounds of pot roast, short ribs and much more. While they were paid for their work as young professionals, they were more excited about potential opportunities that arose from this event. Culinary Program professor Chef Patrick Zemba said, “This was a great opportunity and experience. Our students were given three to four months of experience in a week, and we have established a relationship with an opportunity to help at Breeders Cup and Derby in 2019.” Following the tradition, all kitchen staff have the chance to watch the Derby from the roof of Churchill Downs. So after all of their hard work, MCTC stu-dents witnessed Justify win the 2018 Kentucky Derby, and made memories they won’t soon forget.

When Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma slammed into the Unit-ed States in August, our hearts ached for those affected in Texas and Florida, but for two Maysville Community & Technical College (MCTC) Lineman Training School graduates, it was a call to action.

Aaron Shelley and Isaiah Danis are both graduates of MCTC’s Lineman Training School’s spring class of 2016 and current lineman for Davis H. Elliott in Lexington, KY. Shelley, a 2016 graduate from Montgomery County High School, spent 15 days restoring power to those affected by Hurricane Harvey in Rockport, Texas and 13 days restoring power to those affected by Hurricane Irma in West Palm Beach, Florida. Shelley says upon arriving in Texas, 250,000 were without power. He and his team helped reset around 150 electric poles in a little over two weeks. Shelley said the days were long, sometimes working more than 13 hours a day, but he would do it again.

“MCTC’s Lineman Training School changed my life. I wouldn’t have been able to help out in Texas or Florida if it wasn’t for this program. I had some great teachers during my time at MCTC that helped my dreams of helping people and doing a career I love come true.” Isaiah Danis, a 2016 graduate of Montgomery County High School, was part of an overflow team that arrived in West Palm Beach, Florida to help with recovery efforts after Hurricane Irma. Danis spent 2 days in Florida eager to help those in need. Having a share in the recovery effort helped Danis to see he made the right career choice.

“MCTC’s Lineman Training School didn’t help me just get a job, it helped me start a worthwhile career. I am always learning more, every day I learn something new, but this program gave me a great start and helped me begin a career I enjoy.”

Shelley and Danis are now back in Kentucky helping restore power to those locally, but they haven’t lost their volunteer spirit. They recently came back to MCTC’s Rowan Campus to help out with the current Lineman Training School. The current class begin October 1 and will last 9 weeks. After completing the 9 week course, students will receive 5 different certifications: Lineman, Class A CDL, OSHA 10 Flagger, CPR, Pole Top Rescue.

MCTC would like to thank Aaron Shelley and Isaiah Danis for all their hard work and dedication!

MCTC Holds Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at New Rowan Campus

MOREHEAD, KY - Maysville Community & Technical College (MCTC) held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for its new Rowan Campus in the John Will Stacy MMRC Regional Business Park on Friday, January 26. The new campus located at 400 Rocky Adkins Tech Drive officially opened to students at the beginning of the 2018 spring semester on January 8.

“MCTC is a shining example of how our colleges are engaged with the communities they serve,” said KCTCS President Jay K. Box. “This new facility was something the region needed, and the community worked with the college for many years to make it happen.”

The 87,000 square-foot Postsecondary Center for Excellence is opening 18 months after breaking ground in June of 2016. The facility includes 28 state-of-the-art class rooms as well as high-bay industrial laboratories allowing students to learn in a hands-on simulated modern manufacturing environment.

“To me, the new campus is a conspicuous reminder that MCTC and KCTCS remain committed to creating better lives for a better Kentucky,” says MCTC President/CEO Dr. Steve Vacik. “As we celebrate 50 years as an institution in 2018, the Postsecondary Center of Excellence will allow us to continue – and hopefully expand – our work to provide quality instruc-tion, individual support and meaningful advocacy to our students, industry partners and the general community.”

In addition to general education and dual credit opportunities the facility will offer workforce training that is customized to meet the changing needs of the region’s business and manufacturing industry.

“We are excited for new students as well as our community and industry leaders to see our new campus,” says Russ Ward, MCTC’s Chief Operating Officer. “We know this investment in our community will have a major positive economic im-pact on our region.”
