For some students, one degree just isn’t enough. With a passion for agriculture and a desire for a deeper understanding of soil science, Blackhawk student Travis Skattum returned to the classroom recently to pursue a second degree. Travis graduated from the Agribusiness/Science Technology Degree program and is currently pursuing the Laboratory Technician Assistant program.

Every November, the National Career Development Association (NCDA) promotes career development through an annual celebration: National Career Development Month. Career-related activities throughout the month help students of all ages learn about and explore career-related topics.

While some students travel down the street or across the county to attend Blackhawk, one particular student has traveled a much greater distance. Business Management student Abraham Riar took an uncommon path to Blackhawk. Abraham, once a refugee in the northern part of Kenya, now calls Janesville and Blackhawk home.
