A Message from the Athletic Director

August 27, 2008

MATC student athletes are winners no matter what the score. Students in all of our men’s and women’s sports teams learn and practice skills that serve them throughout their lives. Teamwork, commitment and reaching the highest goals are all part of the MATC student athlete experience.
You can see this spirit come alive on all of our teams, both in practice and in competition. Our coaches and athletic staff are dedicated to helping each student athlete strive for excellence on the playing fields and in working toward their future career fields. Academic success is key. Our student athletes use MATC student services that help them stay on track toward graduation. Many MATC student athletes plan to enter four-year colleges and universities to earn their bachelor’s degrees after spending their first two years of college with us.

That takes hard work and the knowledge that today’s persistence will pay off in big ways tomorrow. Our students compete hard, have fun and, best of all, learn how to succeed in careers and in life.

Thank you for your support of our hardworking student-
athletes. Go Stormers, and all the best to our players and coaches throughout the season.

– Carl Morency

About the Contributor

Bob Hanson, Adviser MATC Times Newspaper

My philosophy: I believe my ultimate goal is to create a safe atmosphere of engaged learning. This is done with excellent communication skills and sound journalism practice by students. I believe that student media should always consist of student work. I have an obligation to defend and teach without censoring, editing, directing or producing the students’ rights to free expression. My background: I started out my career as a printing press operator and soon learned design and layout. I have been employed at MATC for 30 years and I have had the pleasure of working as the Times Adviser since 2006. I have had several jobs while here at MATC but none have been more satisfying than being the Times Adviser. Other things that I find important: I have the pleasure to work with some of the best students here at MATC. This continually inspires, re-energizes me and sometimes challenges me to always work at my best and strive to give the staff of the MATC Times the best possible learning experience. I have an open door policy and strive to make myself available to students. If you interested in joining our great staff please feel free to email me at [email protected] or call me at 414-297-7824.
