 I'm Christina Lorge. I'm the Associate Vice President of Student Success for the Wisconsin Technical College System. Student success is helping an individual student achieve the goals that they've set out to achieve. And that could be a degree, it could be some brush up on some skills, it could be taking some courses that help them advance in their workplace. But I really focus on what success is for an individual person. It's powerful when you get to do that kind of work where somebody is able to support their family, they're able to have purpose and meaning in the work that they do, and it literally is transformative work. I've been in an education my entire career. It actually started when I was an RA at the University of Wisconsin-Houclair, so at I think 19 years old it was my first experience with higher education with Student Affairs, and then I had the opportunity to work at one of our technical colleges for seven years, working with students success and retention. One of my first weeks on the job, I got to sit and listen to the stories of our nursing students at the nursing pitting ceremony, and I just sat there and cried. It was so remarkable to hear their individual journeys and what that degree was going to mean to them and their families. And right there at that moment I was like this is it for me, this is where I want to be. I'm passionate about what I do because I love seeing the transformation that happens, and that's the transformation with our individual students but as well as our communities. It's been a remarkable place to work and to work alongside with people who have the same vision and values that you have. I love what I do, I love who I get to work with, and again seeing that transformation that happens, and the progress that we make. It's joyful work.
