Amazing Alumni

What I found most insightful when I was going through the marine service technology program was that you are able to learn about every aspect of the boat, from rebuilding engines to fiberglass and varnish work. Being able to have the knowledge about almost every part of a boat definitely gives you a leg up when you enter the job market after school.
