Student Spotlight – May 2022

Christian Young, Multi-Media

I chose PTC because it has always been my dream to go here. I remember in my sophomore year of high school I had made an entire presentation of the school and why I wanted to attend. It’s a great school, affordable, and very worth it.

My program of study is Multi-Media and I graduate in September 2022.

Dai Aundre Minor, Multimedia Video Production

I chose PTC because I heard of their video production program through a Delaware State English Professor and what they offered, it wasn’t too far from home and me and friends discussed attending this school together along with its affordability. My decision was also influenced to gain new fresh start in an area I’ve never been.

My program of study is Multimedia Video Production and I graduate September of 2022.

Student Spotlight – May 2022

Julianne Brooks, Sciences of Culinary Arts

I chose PTC because it’s close to home and I needed to be close to my family. I knew about PTC when I was in high school because it was right in the back yard of my tech school parkway west CTC. I met some of the instructors here at PTC through parkway and knew this school would be the right fit for me. I am a culinary arts associates degree major, and I graduate in December of 2022. I will then have an associate degree in the sciences of culinary arts and be a graduate of PTC.

What does Diversity, Equity and Inclusion mean to you?

Diversity is having a seat at the table, Inclusion is having a voice, and Equity is about having that voice be heard. It’s about giving value to every human being, no matter our differences.

What, in your opinion, is PTC doing to create a more inclusive environment?

PTC has done a great job in creating an inclusive environment by creating clubs, social activities, and sports events. I’m looking forward to what the future holds for the student body.

Is there someone at PTC who has significantly contributed to your success?

I would like to thank Mr. Rossell and Mr. Lynch, two of my teachers who have supported me from the beginning. I also have great friends who always keep me on my toes. I’ve made many amazing friends here at PTC who want to see me succeed.

Who is your hero?  Why?

One of my favorite heroes is my mother. Everyone grows up with struggles and not many people have someone to tell them it’ll be alright. She’s another person who has significantly contributed to my success.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Diversity is not about how we differ. Diversity is about embracing one another’s uniqueness.
