Timothy Mcraith Email & Phone Number

I see that there is a place for a 'summary' of my work. As I just received an email notice that I will be called out to accept a 10 year award (I chose the 'travel tool kit') at the next all-staff meeting, I reflect back on my work here at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. In addition to simply figuring out how to - TEACH - that is, how to introduce a concept or skill to someone who doesn't current have it, and actually have that fellow human connect with the idea, practice it, and eventually, master it - my time here has been a lesson in the human endeavor that is more rewarding than I ever imagined. The work that this Community College does with our community, which is larger in size than a number of states in our union, is quite impressive. Living on one of the edges of our country (the northern one) means that we have a low population density, and we generally live in the middle to lower end of the economy. Every professional I have worked with in my capacity as an instructor and organizer - from fellow faculty, to managers, to local business owners - understands our unique challenges and opportunities. Our goal: foster opportunity so that everyone in our community has a chance to make a living and be a contributing member of society. Every student who comes to us wants to better him or herself for the sake of their family, and by extension, the larger community. Whether it be a long time worker getting retrained, a recent high school graduate pursuing his or her first profession, or a stay at home mom re-igniting a put-on-pause dream, our students arrive with a passion for improvement. It has been my honor and pleasure to be a part of this community effort.I will continue to work with the many groups and people who help to maintain an atmosphere of achievement as we work our way into a future where people have the skills necessary to contribute to our proud, hardworking community.
