It was time for another edition of Tech Talk, and this time, Foundation Director for Fort Hays Tech Northwest Anica Padilla joined NWKS Radio to talk about things going on within the foundation and other happenings at the college.

First off, Anica wanted to talk about a new banquet that the college is putting on for student scholarship recipients and the scholarship donors, or those who created and gave away the scholarships. This is a great way for students to thank those who made receiving those scholarships possible as well as a perfect way to recognize the many people who provide those scholarships.

Next, Padilla wanted to mention that the FHTNW Foundation will be partaking in the Sherman County Community Foundation Match Day on December 1st. You can visit them at their booth to donate to a great scholarship fund aimed at helping students in Sherman County, and you can test out their new virtual reality (VR) headsets.

Moving on, there are a couple of student led projects Anica wanted to highlight, including a podcast that a few students decided to start called "My Life as a Tech Tiger". Glenn Banza, AJ McCrumb, Natalie Espinoza and David Ordonez are the students who created and host this podcast following their lives as FHTNW students.

You can view all their episodes on Youtube using the link HERE.

Another student led project coming up for the holiday season is a free Winter Carnival that gets put on by the Robotics Club. This includes games and activities for all ages. There will also be concessions available for purchase with all donations going to the Robotics Club. The Carnival will be on Friday, December 4th.

Padilla also mentioned that she would love to hear feedback from the community. You can reach her at anica.padilla@fhnw.edu.
