The TIMES newspaper asked a few students at the Downtown campus about their views on the spring break date change.
The original date of April 25-April 29 has been switched to Friday April 15 thru Thursday April 21. Most students I interviewed weren’t aware of the date change, until I had brought it to their attention.
Brittaney Stierwalt, a Liberal Arts major said, “It will not affect me.I’m not in favor because it will affect a majority of people.”
Another student interviewed was Tana Solomon, a Nursing major. She stated, “I don’t know how I feel about it; depends on my kid’s schedule, as far as my family is concerned.” I asked her, “Are you in favor of the switch?”
She replied, “I don’t think it really matters; I think we are still going to have a break anyway and that the dates seem shorter.”
Julisa Perez whose major is Culinary Arts, gave her opinion
on the date change, “I always schedule my priorities around what ever it is I have to do and that I’m ok with the change.” Then Julisa wanted to know; “why are they changing it?” MATC traditionally has scheduled its spring recess to coincide with Milwaukee Public Schools and help parents with their schedules.
