Last minute items/reminders!!
1) Dress – Dress for this conference is usual school attire. Students must wear long pants (jeans would be good), closed toe/heel shoes (athletic shoes would be good). Each registrant will receive a conference t-shirt.
2) Industry Tours – Almost everyone received their first pick on industry tours. There will be several construction picks that will have to be moved to 2nd tour pick. We had over 100 people pick the Beckenhauer Construction Tour. There will be a change in this tour. Those who we put down for the AM tour, will actually be riding a MotorCoach to Wayne State College to tour a project there. The afternoon group will walk to the dorms that are being constructed by Kingery Construction on the NECC campus. We will have hard hats and safety green t-shirts for them to wear on both tours. They do not get to keep these green shirts or hard hats. I guess they do not need safety glasses for these two tours - all construction will stop during the tours.
3) Safety items – Safety glasses will be worn on the EBM tour, so if possible, your students in those tours could bring safety glasses. They will have some, just not sure how many pair they will have. I doubt if they will need safety glasses for the Faith Health Regional tour or the Detailing Center. Not sure about Utility Line!
4) It looks as though it will be a nice day on Monday, so we pray for no weather conditions that will affect the tours. Utility Line tours will have to walk several blocks to that campus.
5) The NUCOR cold finish, steel mill and Vulcraft tours will stay at the Lifetime Learning Center and those members will see video coverage of those processes. After we decided on Norfolk and visited about the tours, we found out that anyone touring these three facilities needs to be 18 years of age. Not sure just how many Seniors are 18 by September, so this is what we came up with. I think this will be a great experience for the kids and the presenters will be able to visit with all members about what it takes to work in their facilities. I personally have not been on tours of those facilities and I am thinking maybe down the road we need to schedule advisor training in Norfolk and tour the mills. Anyone interested?
