— Patrick Klette - '01“From the initial layouts of the solar panels to the process of mounting them, including the commissioning and wiring — everything I learned here was hands-on in the field. Everything is interconnected, from learning about ground mounts to roof mounts, and even the historical background of solar energy. Understanding how far we've come in terms of energy efficiency with solar panels is truly remarkable.”

“I completed finals the week of my 60th birthday, something I am proud of. In 1980 I received a B.S. in Biology, but this Associate's Degree in Computer Graphics Technology means even more to me. Each thing I have learned has made me that much more capable in today's world, allowing me to find job opportunities that I couldn't have taken advantage of before. KCC has made a huge difference in my life, both in learning and in the people I have come to know here.”
