Hello, my name is Bryan Albrecht, President of Gateway Technical College.
You are joining the over 25,000 students that participate in one of Gateways over sixty-five degree programs.
As an online learner you are going to have an exciting road ahead of you. I know as you get a chance to search through our web and participate in interactions with our faculty, that you will find tremendous amounts of resources available to you.
As an online learning student, I also encourage you to participate when you can in our campus activities. There are many student engagement programs that take place. We have student organizations that you are welcome to join. We have community events that we encourage you to participate in.
Todays world is really different and I know that taking online courses can sometimes be challenging. I also encourage you to take a look at all the resources that are available to you, from the online registration program; to our interaction chat rooms with the faculty and staff; to our virtual tours to see what the campuses look like. As always make sure that you take advantage of the great opportunity to create a very strong dialog with your instructor. That is the success to online learning to have that opportunity to interface with an instructor.
I also want to thank you again and welcome you one more time to your Gateway experience. (less info)
