Speaking of Student Success…

Shakana Polk, Triton College Student Associ-ation (TCSA) president, shared her emotionalstory of getting back on her feet after beinghomeless for two years. When Polk begantaking classes at Triton, she and her daughterlived in her truck. Polk told the graduatesabout that difficult period and how her lifeturned around while a student at Triton."Being a college student isn't always rain-bows and sunshine," Polk said. "I look atthose hard times as something I had to gothrough to get to where I am today. My timeat Triton has helped me grow to be a betterwoman, mother and leader; and I hope mystory will inspire you to never give up andcontinue to fight for what you want."

In the moments leading up to the start of the47th Annual Triton College Commencementceremony, WGN-TV news reporter and anchorRobert Jordan was walking the aisles of theRosemont Theatre, but not with a microphonein hand to cover the event.

Jordan was there as a proud supporter of Tri-ton graduate Jamie Ross, who his wife Sharonhas mentored since the sixth grade.

Ross, of north suburban Evanston, was one ofnearly 400 graduates who took joy in walking

WGN -TV news anchor’s wife mentors Triton graduatethe stage to receive their degrees.

The Evanston Township High School graduatemade the 20-mile trip south to Triton’s RiverGrove campus because her local communitycollege did not offer a degree program in nu-clear medicine technology.

“I loved my classes in the Nuclear Medicine ro-gram at Triton,” said Ross, who initially plans towork in the field for a couple years, beforeeventually transferring to a four-year institutionto become a radiation therapist. “My instructorwas great and I’m just excited to have com-pleted my degree.”

And, as is the case for many of the Triton Classof 2013, Ross reached her educational goalswith the support of loved ones, including hermother Lilly and cousin Maxine, who were inattendance. But the bond Ross developed withSharon Jordan was invaluable toward her suc-cess.

The two first met when Ross registered to par-ticipate in an afterschool program organizedby the non-for-profit Family Focus, which offersa wide range of family support programs forchildren and families. At the time, Jordan was a

librarian at the middle school in Evanstonwhere Ross attended and they were paired to-gether through the mentorship program spon-sored by Jordan’s college sorority.

The mentorship was supposed to last untilRoss’ high school graduation; however, thetwo built a relationship that will last a lifetime.

“Once the students graduate from high schoolwe’re supposed to let them go, as we startmentoring other students,” Jordan said. “ButJamie meant so much to me and I just couldn’tlet her go. I wanted to still help support her toachieve her goals.”

Jordan was impressed with Ross’ willingness tostrive for excellence and takes a lot of pride inbeing able to witness her complete this impor-tant chapter of her life.

“I told Jamie she’s like one of my own and I’mso proud of her,” Jordan said. “She has somuch determination and to see her graduatefrom Triton College is just wonderful.”

“I can’t thank Mrs. Jordan enough and wordscannot express what she has done for me,”Ross said.

Combining“mechanics” and “electronics,” the term isused to describe electronics that control me-chanical systems, such as an electronically pro-grammed car key that when a button ispressed, a signal will automatically open adoor.

The program derives from a U.S. Departmentof Labor grant meant to answer the call of a600,000 employee shortage nationwide in thefield of advanced manufacturing. For more information, contact EngineeringTechnology instructor Antigone Sharris at(708) 456-0300, Ext. 3622, or at [email protected].

Annual STEM Fair amazes youngsters withhands-on opportunity

knowledge. It developed into a competi-tion as a way to capture individuals whowere interested in the culinary arts andgave them an in-depth experience.Participating students were from East Ley-den, West Leyden and Proviso West highschools. The judges observed and cri-tiqued students on everything from safetyand appearance to food production andpresentation. On the day of the event, students had 60minutes to prepare one salad and one en-trée with ingredients provided by HIA. Al-though taste and originality wereimportant, how well students followedthe given instruc-tions was the mostcrucial element ofthe cook-off equa-tion.(Triton College con-gratulates the teamfrom Proviso WestHigh School, win-ners of this year’scompetition!)

Young cooks hustled and rustled up grubon May 4, during the Des Plaines Valley Re-gion Culinary Cook-Off for competing highschool students hosted by Triton's Hospital-ity Program (HIA).Chef Ched Pagtakhan, Triton College grad-uate and full-time instructor, was the headcoordinator of this steamy event. “I under-stand students may be nervous enteringthis program. I am here to put them atease,” he said.In the past, this day was administered as aculinary expo for all in-district high schoolstudents and included demonstrations onbasic kitchen, baking, restaurant and din-ing skills and beverage management

In-district high school students displayculinary talents at annual cook-off

Triton College's STEM Fair was an interactiveday for middle school scientists to engage invarious activities that invited them to ex-plore the academic arenas of science, tech-nology, engineering and mathematics.

During the science activity, titled “Who Stolethe Cookie Dough,” students analyzed acrime scene of cookie crumbs to crack thecase and pinpoint the perpetrator throughhair samples and powdered footprints.

Rich Bodner, Triton College chemistry in-structor who has participated in the lastthree years of the STEM Fair, said, “I love tosee kids explore science, and how this explo-ration encourages them to make decisions.It is exciting to see them engaged and de-

fend what they found.”

Students also learned how to build abridge with Popsicle sticks, which intro-duced students to some of the fundamen-tals of architecture, engineering andconstruction management.

In another room, Triton nursing studentseducated the youth on different bacteria,correct hand washing and sanitation, andhow to take pulse rates.

All of the activities were “designed tobreak down the various careers Triton hasto offer,” said Angela Satala, Health Re-source Center coordinator. “It encouragesthem to pursue a higher education at Tri-ton.”

The day ended with a “Fun with Science”demonstration with Mike Davis, WYCC tel-evision host of “City of Science,” leading anauditorium of students in a demonstrationcalled “Elephant Toothpaste,” in which hecombined oxygen with hydrogen peroxide.The result was a billowing pile of orangefoam that amazed the young sciencelovers.
