Furthering educational opportunities for students through technology was the intent when Chemeketa Community College recently signed an agreement for an educational partnership between itself, the college's machining technology program and DMG MORI at the Salem, OR, campus.
"We are partnering with a world-class company," said Johnny Mack, Chemeketa's Executive Dean of Career And Technical Education.
Sheldon Schnider, Machining Instructor, said that in conjunction with the partnership, Chemeketa has been recognized by DMG MORI as one of only five regional education centers of excellence in the country.
The excellence of Chemeketa's program and the workers it is turning out was recognized during the ceremony by Marlow Knabach, DMG MORI's Chief Technology Officer. "What you have through these doors is what drew me into the industry," Knabach said of Chemeketa's machining labs.
President Julie Huckestein said one of the proudest moments for the college, outside of graduation, is when partnerships like the one with DMG MORI can be celebrated.
