Dr. Erin Arneson, Grant Schrick, Loren Kucera, John Vinchattle and Dr. Gerard Ras from our School had the opportunity to visit BD's facilities in Columbus, NE. What an incredible experience to see the processes and automation at this great company! Thank you to Cole Krienert, Mitchell Kallhoff and Laurie Reagan, as well as (not pictured) Wayne State College alum Jim Lauridsen, Bret Anderson, and Todd Stachura for taking the time to show us around and tell us about the equipment and processes. Lots of ideas on how this may impact WSC School of Business & Technology's Engineering Technology and Manufacturing Management programs!
Thank you BD!
