"Since the beginning of time, man has been forced to work so that he and his family might survive. Although years have passed, and civilization has changed, this basic economic concept still exists. A person with a properly developed skill or trade holds one of the keys to the treasures of success and happiness coveted by all mankind. The North Central Kansas Area Vocational Technical School is dedicated to ensuring that all persons desiring such training will be given the opportunity to achieve success and happiness." - Dr. Bob Severance

 

These words are etched in NCK Tech's history, and what better way to start another school year, than to drop this podcast interview on the first day of school for the '19-'20 school year. My guest is Mr. NCK Tech himself-Dr. Bob Severance. I sat down with Bob and discussed his way of life as a young man; in high school, and in the Navy. He also sheds light on the new beginnings of the tech college (it was actually a Vo-Tech then) in 1964. Listen in as Dr. Severance talks about everything from his days in band, to running up gold medals in competitive swimming. You'll also learn a little bit about his hard work and sacrifice as he helped to make NCK Tech what it is today. Relax, sit back, and enjoy listening to Dr. Bob Severance.
