 My name is Sarah Mackie and I'm the Marketing Communication Specialist for the Statewide Marketing Consortium of the Wisconsin Technical College System. The Statewide Marketing Consortium was founded by the 16 college presidents to collaborate on marketing and communications activities around the system. This is important to me, one as a student and graduate of one of the technical colleges. I learned firsthand how caring the staff and faculty are at the colleges and what a great job they do, how dedicated they are to students. It changed my life for the better and when I learned there was a position open to work for the tech college system I was really excited because all I could do was promote my own experience or promote the experiences that someone could have at a technical college. I know that what we are doing ultimately helps connect the students to the colleges and what they're and the programs that the colleges offer. I feel like in the very slatest way I've been a part of something bigger in our state in our communities to help people not only learn about but engage with and do well because of their experience with a technical college.
