Engineered for Success WCC grad lands dream job with new degree
V
ictoria Hicks, 37, has always loved the science behind technology. As a welder, she enjoyed the hands-on approach of building and creating, but soon found herself longing to be more involved in the design process. “I wanted to be challenged,” Hicks said. “At the time, Washtenaw Community College offered a mechanical engineering and manufacturing technology program. I knew I could earn my associates degree and would have the option to transfer to another school.” That’s just what she did. After graduating from the college in 2006, Hicks transferred to the University of Michigan

and earned her bachelor’s in mechanical engineering with a manufacturing concentration. She graduated from the University of Michigan in May of 2013 and joined Meritor in Troy, Mich. one month later where she designs drivetrain systems for semitrucks. “It’s my dream job,” Hicks said. “I absolutely love it.”
Goal-oriented Reaching her goals wasn’t always an easy path for Hicks, who was working, going to school and raising her 7-year-old daughter, all on her own. It took drive, commitment and determination as well as creative scheduling.
“I took a lot of night classes,” she said. “I had to really learn how to manage my time. But I stayed focused and tried to stay around liked-minded people who had the same goals and ambitions.” It’s that drive Hicks hopes her daughter will always remember. “If there’s something you want to do, there’s a way to achieve it. You just have to give it enough thought and strategy and not give up.”
Helping hand And give up she didn’t. When times were challenging, Hicks always knew WCC had resources to help her. “The instructors at WCC really know their students
LAUNCH
and are willing to reach out to assist in any way they can,” Hicks said. “They helped me find resources and grant money so that I could continue with my education. They saw potential in me even when I didn’t see it.”
Industrial Engineers Median Pay: $78,860 per year Job Outlook: Employment of industrial engineers is projected to grow five percent from 2012 to 2022. This occupation is versatile both in the kind of work it does and in the industries in which its expertise can be put to use. Information from bls.gov

Fostering a Healthy Future Alumna finds fulfillment with career in nursing
W
hen Julia Morrissey wanted to change careers, she knew exactly where to go— Washtenaw Community College, where she earned her Associates Degree in Automotive Service Technology after high school. “I wasn’t satisfied at my job anymore,” said Morrissey. “I had all my pre-requisite courses already completed from my previous degree at WCC, so I knew I could get my associates and get working fairly quickly.”
Fulfilling a dream Morrissey entered the nursing program at WCC wccnet.edu
in 2004. She is currently enrolled at Eastern Michigan University working towards her bachelor’s degree while working full-time at the University of Michigan’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. She also serves as the ViceChair of the University of Michigan Professional Nurse Council. It’s the role she had been dreaming about for years. “I really do believe that nursing is a calling,” Morrissey said. “To be given such trust without question is an honor. To be part of someone’s life—to be by their side
and advocate for them is amazing. I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives.”
Faculty support She attributes her successful career change to the faculty at WCC. “I could come to class and know that my instructors would be there for me and that they wanted me to be successful. They believed in me so I could believe in myself. It was what I needed.” To learn more about the nursing program at WCC, visit nursing.wccnet.edu.

Registered Nurses Median Pay: $65,470 per year Job Outlook: Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 19 percent from 2012 to 2022, faster than the national average. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventative care; growing rates of chronic conditions; and demand for health care services from the baby boomer population as they live longer and more active lives.

This year’s WCC student winners, who took home top honors in each of their categories, were: Dalia Alsadi (Best Documentary), Shane Law (Best Commercial), Brian Puninske (Best Sports Feature) and Matt Wilkin (Best Director).
Tradition of excellence
“When you look at the schools that WCC is competing against, it really speaks to the knowledge and support our faculty provides to our students,” said Dr. Kimberly Hurns, dean of business and computer technology. “Because of the hands-on nature and skill development that takes place here, our students not only build a portfolio while in our program, but also learn using the latest equipment.” To learn more about the DMA program at WCC, visit departments.wccnet.edu/ dma.

Multimedia Artists and Animators Median Pay: $61,370 per year Job Outlook: Employment of multimedia artists and animators is projected to grow six percent from 2012 to 2022.

D
exter resident Evan Spaller knew he wanted a career, he just didn’t know which one. “I had spent a year at another college and didn’t have the best experience,” Spaller said. “I knew Washtenaw Community College was close and affordable so I decided to take a few classes and test it out.” He enrolled in 2013, starting out in both Culinary Arts and Motorcycle Service Technology. It wasn’t long until the high-tech hands-on labs got him hooked. “As soon as I walked into the motorcycle labs I got a huge grin on my face,” Spaller said.
wccnet.edu
“I knew I was going to have a great time.”
Ready for work Two years later Spaller graduated with his associates degree and a job already lined up at Ducati Detroit. “I felt really prepared to jump right into the workforce after graduating from WCC,” Spaller said. “I had great instructors who have experience in the field. They are still very welcoming to me now when I come back to visit or have questions. You are never severed from the school or the faculty just because you graduate.”
Choosing a college It’s that sense of belonging, along with the cost savings of a community college, that Spaller tries to impart on others. “WCC is a great way to explore your career options. You don’t have to pay large fees and almost all of your credits will transfer, especially in-state.” Career and cost savings? It’s a winning combination. One that Spaller will never forget. “I really enjoyed my time at WCC. My experience there set me up for my future in the workforce.”
