Western Dakota Technical College Foundation & Alumni

After a 20-year absence, Lisa Berry came back to school and chose Western Dakota Technical College.
“No matter what age you are, you can go back to school,” Lisa said.
Lisa, in her 3rd semester of the Business and Technology Program, not only joins her granddaughter in taking classes at WDTC but feels she’s found the right environment for her education.
“Everything seems to work together,” said Lisa. She went on to talk about her favorite parts of her time at WDTC.
“It’s the instructors. They are so flexible and understanding,” said Lisa.
We are proud to share Lisa’s story and support her through her educational journey at Western Dakota Technical College!

"Dakota Supply Group (DSG) has been a partner in my career since I was a student here at WDTC back in 2003. They have been a consistent connection point for high-quality electrical products and support ever since. In fact, the student discount they offered is a big reason I was able to afford my own tools when I first stepped out into the industry," - Bryan Mitchell, Director of Electrical Trades Program at WDTC.
