It was standing room only for the family and friends of Salina Area Technical College graduates as they received their diplomas Saturday at the Highway Patrol Training Center's auditorium. But Mike Haug, chairman of the Salina Tech board of trustees, said the certificates were more than that. "This is the ticket, or admittance, to the game of life," Haug said. "We wish you the best in the game of life. Go out and play in fields that were not available before." Read full story at Admittance to the Game of Life -Chris Hunter, Salina Journal.
"Failure is the path of least persistence." In the past couple of years, Jaime Scott found herself writing that a lot as she got back into the swing of schoolwork and tests toward earning her diploma. "I had this real fear of failure, and I had to keep telling myself I could do it," said Scott, who earned that diploma and will be the keynote speaker at Thursday night's graduation for the Salina Adult Education Center............ I had colleges writing to me then -- my teachers were sending them things I'd written, and the colleges were wanting me to come to their school when it was time, and I was still looking forward to high school." Instead, "I ran away from home and dropped out of school in ninth grade," she said. "For a while, I was living under bridges -- the lifestyle nobody dreams about," she said.

On April 16, 2009, Matthew Riley and Nick Bennington of Grail Engine Technologies visited Salina Area Technical College with a dream to change the world. Matt and Nick developed an internal combustion two stroke engine that runs on multiple fuels sources, performance levels, and reduces pollution. They needed Salina Tech’s assistance to turn the idea into reality. Working with Salina Tech faculty and students, a model engine was developed. Since this initial meeting, the company is getting national and international attention for their ground breaking innovation for engine performance and “green” technology.
Please visit Grail Engine Technologies website for more information. We are proud to be initial contributors to Matt and Nick’s heroic efforts to make the world a better place to live!
Despite the economic downturn, machinists and machine operators are still in demand. Local employers tell us that there is a shortage of entry-level machinists in Salina and North-Central Kansas. The national outlook is good, with more jobs than qualified applicants for the foreseeable future.
