50 Years Of Education And Opportunities

Puetz Corporation

In The Moment ... September 17, 2018 Show 423 Hour 1

Fifty years ago, with fewer than 200 students and a small faculty and staff, Mitchell Technical Institute opened its doors.  Part of a larger system of four institutes statewide, MTI has developed unique programs and grown to an annual enrollment of more than 1200 students.  In recent years, the growth has allowed MTI to move to a modern campus on Mitchell's south side along I-90 where students can plan for a wide variety of occupations.

On September 18th, MTI commemorates the anniversary with food, music, dignitaries and a short program featuring South Dakota Lieutenant Governor Matt Michels.

Julie Brookbank, Associate to the President at Mitchell Technical Institute, joined today’s In The Moment show. She visited about MTI's history and to detail the school's changes.
