Chancellor Dr. Phillip Wilson welcomed the high school juniors to campus and stressed the importance of continuing an education after high school. Wilson stated, “We would like to thank our area schools for allowing students to attend Junior Day at UA Rich Mountain. It is important in today’s world for students to get some education after high school, whether that’s 2 or 4 year degrees or technical education to join the workforce.”
The juniors spent the morning learning about the workforce ready/technical program offerings at UA Rich Mountain. Those programs include Machine Tool Technology, Welding, Nursing, Medical Billing/Coding, Information Systems, Business Administration, and Culinary Arts.

We would also like to thank Union Bank, Aleshire Electric, Arvest Bank, Nidec Motor Corporation, and Sysco for helping make this event possible.
