\u201cWe had a good turnout,\u201d said Melinda Calvillo, a TSTC student recruitment representative. \u201cI think the early exposure for the students is really good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kristina Cron, a mathematics teacher at Wheat Middle School in Cleburne, traveled with her school\u2019s Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy hope is for them to find an interest or careers they never knew about,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jolee McGuire, 14, and Erin Ramirez, 14, are eighth-grade students in the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) in Lockhart. The students liked what they saw in the Biomedical Equipment Technology program.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was cool to see inside all of the equipment,\u201d said McGuire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramirez said she enjoyed seeing how TSTC\u2019s Biomedical Equipment Technology students fixed medical equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two students were impressed with their visit to the campus store. McGuire also appreciated seeing the small classes.<\/span><\/p>\n
