PROGRAM EVENTS

HEALTH CAREERS and CADAVER PRESENTATION DAY

The Health Careers and Cadaver Presentation Day was a tremendous success, with over 300 high school students, and dozens of Wabash General Hospital employees, coming to campus to learn about various health professions. The event featured presentations by healthcare professionals from a variety of fields, including nursing, medicine, respiratory, surgery, and physical therapy. Our nursing and physical therapist assistant instructors presented their programs as well as hands-on demonstrations of their state-of-the-art medical equipment and techniques. One of the highlights of the day was a live fixation of broken leg surgery. This procedure was performed on stage, which gave students a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of the human body up close. Overall, the event was an excellent way to inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals and promote a better understanding of the vital role that these careers play in our society. AG ACQUIANTANCE DAY WVC's annual Ag Acquaintance Day is a great opportunity for students interested in agriculture to learn about the programs in business and production offered by our institution. Almost 200 high school students from the FFA program attended the event, where they had the chance to meet our instructors and hear about the exciting opportunities available to them. They learned about internships from current students and discussed potential career paths in agriculture with guest speakers. The event also featured breakfast, lunch, and games that tested their knowledge of the field. Our agricultural technology programs provide hands-on experience and practical skills that prepare students for successful careers in the industry. Ag Acquaintance Day was a fantastic way to showcase these programs and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders. BROADCASTING DAY WVC's Broadcasting Day was a fantastic opportunity for high school students to explore our Radio and TV Broadcasting program. During the event, the students were given a tour of the campus and facilities, and they were able to witness first-hand the advanced technology and equipment we use to produce and broadcast our content. The highlight of the day was when the students were able to use the green screen and go on air on our station, 89.1 the Bash. It was a thrilling experience for them to be able to see themselves on TV and to have a taste of working in a real-life broadcasting environment. Along the way, they shared lunch and had the chance to interact with our experienced faculty, who shared their knowledge and answered the student's questions about the industry. This event was specially designed for students in sports marketing classes, but we are already planning future events for students in broadcasting, media, and journalism classes, as we strive to inspire and prepare the next generation of broadcasting professionals.
