Securing Her Future Welding Student Proves Hard Work Leads to Success

L

auren Williams thought she knew what she wanted to do with her life. An avid artist, she figured her passion would easily transition into a career.

“Before WCC I took art classes at a career center and tried graphic design at a local college,” remembers Williams.

“It wasn’t for me.”

Not sure what direction to take with her life, Williams took a step back from her education.

It was through a chance recommendation by a friend that she found the welding program at WCC. “I never thought I would get into it as a career, but I love it,” said Williams, who will

graduate from the college with a degree in welding and fabrication this year. “It has been awesome and the classes are amazing.”

“ WCC is the best,” sa id Williams. “The instructors want you to succeed, they want you to learn and want you to grow.”

Going Down the Right Career Path

Advice for Others

“As a single mom I needed career stability for myself and my son,” said Williams.

“Welding provides me with a stable career field that is challenging and fun. I love it.”

The fact that she is studying her craft at a school that has produced numerous champion welders, including the 2013 SkillsUSA national welding titleholder, doesn’t hurt either.

Washtenaw Community College • Fall 2014

While juggling school and a child can be a struggle, Williams knows the effort is worth it. She has even managed to open her own business, Williams Custom Fabrications, which is thriving thanks to social media.

“You have the strength to do whatever you want to do as long as you put your mind to it,” she said. “No one else is going to do it for you. Work hard at what you do and put your passion into it.”

S

tarting at a new school can be an overwhelming endeavor, but doing so in a new country takes someone who is especially dedicated and hardworking – someone like Kedishia Grant.

Getting a Fresh Start At the age of 21, Grant left her home in Jamaica and moved to Michigan. She immigrated to the United States with her family to pursue a better life and knew that getting a good education was a critical factor.

She enrolled at WCC and loved the experience.

“I did well in school in Jamaica, but it is very expensive to go to college there. So I decided to come to the U.S.,” said Grant. “WCC helped me focus my energy. When bad things happen I can put my energy on what I do well.”

Above and Beyond Grant graduated from WCC with two associate degrees: Liberal Arts Transfer and Business before transferring to the University of Michigan to pursue a degree in Economics.

During her last semester at WCC, Kedishia was one of two students from the college selected for the Phi Theta Kappa All-Michigan Academic Team. Selection was based on outstanding academic performance and service to the college and community. In total, 65 students were selected for this honor from across the state.

Economists Median Pay: $91,860 per year Job Outlook: Employment of economists is projected to grow fourteen percent from 2012 to 2022.

Cooking Up A Career Successful Chef Thanks WCC

P

aesano head chef David Whitney’s love for food started at a very early age.

Spending much of his youth on his grandfather’s farm in Escanaba, the WCC culinary arts graduate grew up honing his craft.

“He had a mink ranch and raspberry farm; we also planted things like potatoes and corn.

So I grew up picking berries and eating meals made from the fresh produce grown in my own backyard,” said Whitney.

“My grandfather made a living selling his produce to people for years and years. That’s one of the reasons I try to showcase what is available locally and in the state when it’s in season.”

Though he had many valuable e x p e r ie nc e s work i n g i n restaurants with accomplished chefs before moving to the area in the late 1990s, Whitney’s formal training really began at WCC.

were all great experiences. I learned a lot from all of my teachers as well as the other students.”

Hands-on Training

“If someone had an opening in the kitchen they would come to Washtenaw to fill it,” said Whitney. “The same is true for me. If someone comes here looking for a job and they’re going to WCC, I’ll try them out because I know it’s a good program.”

In the WCC Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management program, students practice in instructional kitchens and are taught by chefs who are masters of their trade. They also run a full-service restaurant and a dessert shop on campus.

He says that the program’s professional network of local restaurateurs was invaluable.

bare-bones project into a fully fledged film. The classes were also small so I got to learn a lot from my peers as well.”

Growing up in Ypsilanti, 25-year-old Rose Adler wasn’t sure what direction to take with her post-secondary career. “I wanted an affordable way to experiment with some classes and find out what I liked and what I wanted to do with my life,” said Adler.

After graduating from the 3D Animation program at WCC in 2008, Adler transferred to the Savannah College of Art and Design where she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Effects. Since then her work has appeared in big screen blockbusters The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Oz The Great and Powerful (2013) and the recently released Jinn (2014).

Having always been interested in 3D animation in movies, she decided to take a class to help her better understand the process.

“It was challenging and a lot of fun,” recalls Adler. “It was such a different experience getting to see something go from a

Pursuing Her Dream

“It’s unreal to think that something I worked so hard on is up there on the screen and nested in this great film,” said Adler. “It’s really kind of an amazing experience.”

Returning to Her Roots Wanting to share her knowledge and experiences with others, Adler compliments her freelance career with working as a parttime faculty member at the college.

“It’s surreal seeing these fresh students come into the program,” said Adler. “I was in that seat not too long ago. I feel like I can really relate to what they are thinking and going through. Students come in here feeling like their work isn’t good enough and I can tell them that I know how they feel. I felt the same way, but I made it. I did it and so can they.”

And she credits WCC with getting her there.

o what you love; love what you do. And while John Dolph may not have known what he was looking for when he started at WCC, the passion he discovered for his newfound career path playing the piano is unmistakable.

“My parents were great in letting me see what I wanted to do and what route I wanted to take with my professional life,” said Dolph, who was 20 when he enrolled at the college. “I started with just a few classes and found the school was a good fit for me. After my first class in music theory I knew I

wanted to do more and expand my playing capabilities.”

It was through WCC that Dolph not only received (in classroom) instruction and guidance, but also the chance to take his skills on the road and perform at live venues. “I got a lot of exposure playing at events and venues,” he recalls.

“My professors took personal time to help me and to give me experience beyond the classroom. That environment helped motivate me to do well.”

Now, seven years later, he is still performing and still doing what he loves.

Washtenaw Community College • Fall 2014

More than Just Music From music, Dolph branched out into writing, math, and science classes in order to receive his Associate of Arts degree. Since graduating he teaches his love of piano to others as a music instructor as well as maintaining a performance schedule.

A schedule that allows him to connect back to the school that started it all for him.

“I’m still in contact with many of my instructors and I actually play gigs with a few of them,” said Dolph. “The
