Black River Technical College (BRTC) recently hosted a retirement reception to honor Director of Community Education Patti Blaxton for 25 years of service.

Blaxton began her career at BRTC in 2000 as Director of Community Education and kept her position until her retirement. During her reception, Blaxton was presented with a plaque to thank her for her time and dedication to BRTC.

Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Brad Baine said, “As an administrator, it is always comforting knowing that a college program is being overseen and led by a professional that is effective and dependable, which is the case for the programs that were under Patti's authority. Patti's leadership and service will be dearly missed, but we are happy that Patti will now get to enjoy her well-earned retirement."
