To honor some of our most tenacious students, our Student Recognition Retention Action Team has started a “Student of the Week” award.
Following is a quick bio and Q&A with Justin Baumgardner, our honoree for the week of April 2:
Program: Mechatronics Engineering
Expected graduation date: Spring 2019
Q) What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
A) The motivation to continue and excel comes from discipline instilled into me from the United States Army. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. This coupled with setting a good example to my daughter who has just begun school allows me to stay motivated and a willingness to achieve and succeed.
Q) What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
A) There is only so much time in each day. You must see, plan, and recognize your dream. The seeds of learning you plant today will blossom into a wealth of opportunities to pick later.
