“I didn’t understand just how
empowering
learning was until I had taken classes at NWTC.”
- BRIDGET NOVAK
Design and Graphic Technology graduate
become a design and graphic technology intern at NWTC. She worked in the
College’s print lab, designing marketing materials for the 2018 fall Digital Arts
Student Showcase in the College of Business.
“At the showcase, I met my current boss, who emailed me the next morning asking
if I’d like to come in for an interview,” Bridget said. “I had a job lined up before I
even graduated.”
When graduation day came in 2018, the Novaks both felt extremely proud and
accomplished not only for themselves as individuals, but for the life they were
building together as a family.
“I knew going back to school meant statistically my daughter was more likely to
get a degree,” Bridget said. “And that night, I thought about how much I wanted
her to love learning like I do.”
She added that being able to tackle college with her husband at the same place
made the process that much more special.
Bridget works at Creative Sign Company. She said she loves seeing her designs
come to life in real-world spaces. Her future goals include earning a bachelor’s
degree. Michael now works in sales at Lamar Advertising in De Pere.
