Celebrating the start of the CTEC building construction is what’s on Mike’s mind this week as an Earth Honoring was held on campus. As he shares, the new building is designed to last 100 years; and to honor the first inhabitants of the land, what we’ve done the past 60 years and what we do in the future to educate all who want to learn.
