Jason and I are members of the Alumni and Friends Association Board at OHP. Basically, this Association is for supporters of Ohio Hi-Point Career Center to stay connected to the school and to one another. Yesterday we had our first meeting, and it was great to know so many people are behind what OHP is doing, and therefore, what I’m able to do because of OHP. I like that through this association, we get a chance to share how cool career-technical education is, and what it can do for others. I got to meet some board members who graduated many years ago from Ohio Hi-Point, and because of their experience here, still are involved to this day! It was a great meeting, and we have some great plans for the future of Ohio Hi-Point!

Today was a BIG day! I went to a meeting for the Alumni and Friends Association!  I am a student representative.  We started out introducing everyone on the board and talked about what our jobs are on the board.  We then came up with some cool ideas for students that would help raise money for the scholarships that the Alumni and Friends provide.  Some of the ideas would be customizable shirts and skins for your laptop.  All the Hi-Point students might want to keep your eyes and ears open for these things to come up next year.
We also talked about selling raffle tickets for a set of two tickets to a Buckeye game in the fall of next year.  Tickets will go on sale next school year for the Purdue vs. Ohio State Game.  We then went into nominations for a new vice president, treasurer and board members.  After nominating all the new positions we moved forward to talk about some of the ways we can connect with more alumni.  The whole experience I had in this meeting was amazing.  I as a student representative am proud to serve the student body and come up with ideas that would interest the students and help out the Alumni and Friends Association!  Till the next time, my fellow readers!
