FALL 2023 Academic Calendar

Week of Welcome Competition – Win $5,000 for Your Program

We think it’s always a great time to attend fun and free activities outside the classroom.

But if you need another reason to attend Week of Welcome activities, we have one for you.

The program that has the highest attendance percentage during Week of Welcome Activities will win a $5,000 award from Student Government Association.

Will Precision Machining win again? Will Automotive Collision reclaim their title from 2021? Will another program steal the title away and win the $5,000?

Attend all the events for your program and see if you can help win the prize and earn yourself State Tech Tokens.

State Tech Tokens

When a student attends any event on campus, they check-in and earn tokens. We keep a running scoreboard all year long and students use them to bid on and purchase prizes at the end of the year BBQ.

Last year, we had a student who used their tokens to buy a PS5, Oculus VR Goggles, and more. It pays off to attend events, earn tokens, and get prizes at the end of the school year.

We hope to see many of you attend all the events you are able throughout the year. You will event earn tokens by participating in and/or attending Intramural events as a spectator.

Later, when we offer education and awareness programming, those will have a token value as well. We are looking forward to a great year and hope to see you at as many events as your schedule allows.

Campus Parking

It’s no secret that traffic and parking can feel congested during the first few weeks of classes. Please get in the habit of arriving early on campus and driving to open parking spots across all of campus. The lots nearest to Hwy 50 fill up the quickest, instead of circling those lots to search for an open spot, continue to the right of the roundabout and look for open spots in other lots. We have open spots all the way to the back of campus. It is also important to know you are only permitted to park in parking stalls with white lines. Yellow lines are visitor parking and green lines are for faculty/staff. One final tip, please do NOT park in the grass.

Campus Parking

It’s no secret that traffic and parking can feel congested during the first few weeks of classes. Please get in the habit of arriving early on campus and driving to open parking spots across all of campus. The lots nearest to Hwy 50 fill up the quickest, instead of circling those lots to search for an open spot, continue to the right of the roundabout and look for open spots in other lots. We have open spots all the way to the back of campus. It is also important to know you are only permitted to park in parking stalls with white lines. Yellow lines are visitor parking and green lines are for faculty/staff. One final tip, please do NOT park in the grass.

When Should We Order Tools?

If you are in a program that has a tool kit, please click on the TOOL KIT LIST link and make your order as soon as you are able. Tools will be delivered to campus the first week of September. If you have questions about ordering tools, please reach out to the Bookstore.

Students will meet with their instructors and learn about classroom and lab expectations. All campus offices will be open to do any last minute business.

Do Parents Attend Power Up?

One of the most common questions we have about Power Up is, “do parents/families attend or is it just for students?”

That is a great question. I think that is really up to your family. There are three parts to PowerUp.

General Welcome Session
Meet the Instructors
BBQ/Marketplace/Concert

PowerUp will have a general welcome session that anyone can attend. The next session for students is with the other students in their program and all of their instructors (students only).

We do welcome anyone to attend our BBQ and concert as a wrap-up to the day. So, parents are more than welcome to stay and attend the welcome session and BBQ, but it is up to you.

Our offices are open at 8:00 AM Monday, August 21. 2023 in the event you have last minute things you would like to wrap up before PowerUp begins. That is when we see many parents getting last minute items done in the Bookstore, Financial Aid, etc. if they were not able to complete them on Move-In Day.

FREE RACING TICKETS – SIGN UP in Activity Center (Just a few tickets remain)

Do you like stock car racing? State Tech has a suite at Lucas Oil Speedway for the Summer. Students can sign-up in the Activity Center to receive tickets for Saturday, June 24^th. The first 25 students to sign up for each date will receive FREE tickets to the suite with soda/water and chicken wings provided. Stop by the front desk and sign up for the FREE tickets.

June 5,2023: State Tech Staying in Touch

Welcome to State Technical College of Missouri!

We believe that your choice to attend State Tech was an excellent decision! Whether you are entering your first semester with State Tech or preparing to complete your degree program, we have some advice that will serve you well as the Summer term begins.

State Tech was ranked by WalletHub as the #1 2-year college in the United States for the 4^th consecutive year during the 2022-2023 academic year! Congratulations! You are a student at the highest ranked 2-year college in the country!

We are excited to collaborate with you in your educational goals. Whether you are hoping to earn a degree in a career or technical field or working on completing the first two years of your Bachelor’s degree, our faculty and staff are committed to your success. We hope that you take the time to read some of the following suggestions to make this Summer term a successful start to the 2023-2024 instructional year.

Our offices are open during the Summer Monday through Thursday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM and Fridays 8:00 AM to Noon.

Tips & Tricks for Success

Attend class – as you heard from Dr. Strong in previous speeches, being present is a high percentage of being successful at State Tech. Make sure you are attending all classes and turning in all assignments.
Turn in all assignments – it is not just enough to show up on a daily basis. You need to follow instructions and turn in all assigned work. If you are struggling, let your instructors know. They are here to help.
Get to know your instructors – take the time to let them know who you are before or after class, they are the best source of knowledge for the class and it’s a great idea to begin networking with them. They know many people within their field of expertise, in industry in Missouri and beyond.
Get to know your fellow students – take the time to meet new people before or after class – be social! You may find a study partner and new friends. Having lunch in the Founder’s Café, playing pool in the Activity Center, hitting some golf balls at the Driving Range, or going to an event hosted by Student Activities are great ways to meet people outside the classroom.
Ask questions – seek out services when you need the assistance – we have a fantastic group of staff and services that can provide you with answers to your most difficult questions. State Tech staff want to help, so do not hesitate to approach us and ask a question.
Get involved! – State Technical College of Missouri has many different activities to keep students busy when they are outside the classroom. We have clubs, organizations, small events like movie nights, game nights, open mic nights to dances, concerts, Paintball, GloZone dance parties, and Capture the Flag. Make sure to follow State Tech on social media channels! Also, read the Staying in Touch each week for updates to the activities calendar. They do a great job of keeping our students busy with activities all week long. We have FREE tickets to the Jefferson City Renegades baseball game next Thursday, June 15^th. Pick up tickets at the Activity Center and have a great time.

Thursday, June 15^th will be State Tech Night at the Jefferson City Renegades baseball game. We have FREE tickets for students. Just stop by the Activity Center starting on June 5^th and pick one up.

May 31, 2023: State Tech Staying in Touch

Summer 2023 will begin on Monday, June 5, 2023. We have some classes that began a couple weeks ago, but the majority of our summer coursework begins on Monday, June 5, 2023. Welcome students enrolled in Heavy Equipment Operations, Civil Construction, Practical Nursing Technology, and Dental Assisting Technology. Make sure you log in to myTech and review your schedule so you can arrive to the right building and classroom on time. Here are some other things to get ready for opening week of the semester. Be on the lookout for a Welcome Letter on Monday, June 5, 2023 with additional information. Thank you for choosing State Tech!
