| Laura Estabrooks is surprised by CACC Director, Linda Rawlings |
The Breaking Traditions Awards are an annual recognition of
outstanding nontraditional career education students and the educators and employers
who support them. Non-traditional students are defined as those studying for
careers that are traditionally chosen by the opposite gender.
Congratulations to Laura Estabrooks who won the State Educator Breaking Traditions Award! Laura was
nominated by Kate Harline, a senior in Geospatial Technology. In the Trade and Industry programs of Geospatial
Information Systems and Information Technology, female students and educators
are considered non-traditional—since the program has a male population of 75
percent or more.
In addition to Laura winning the State Educator award, a
student in the Practical Nursing program, Trevor Cavness, won the State
Postsecondary/Adult Breaking Traditions Award. Trevor graduated from the
Practical Nursing program last week and passed the State Board of Nursing
(NCLEX) test this week!
Seldom does an institution have two award winners!
Plus…eight secondary students also received Honorable Mention.
- Kelly Wilsdorf-Horticulture-nominated by Sherie Rodekohr
- Kelsey Ward-Wildlife Conservation/Forestry nominated by Larry Henneke
- Kaitlyn Fisher-Firefighting & Public Safety nominated by Bobby Horn
- Monica Greenlief-Photonics/Taser Technology nominated by Rick Shanks
- Nellie Boyd-Certified Welding nominated by Bill Irvin
- Ashton Day-Broadcast Journalism nominated by Joe Wittman
- Hayden Veach-Teaching Professions nominated by Gina Greenplate
Laura and Trevor will be honored May 3 at the 2013 Breaking
Traditions Awards Ceremony and Reception at the Missouri State Capitol.
