    Garret L. Graff, assistant professor; Clifford J. Jones, instructor; and Daun Williamson, a building construction technology student from Linden, were among more than a dozen participants (representing nearly 400 years of combined industry experience) who traveled to Sidney, Ohio, for intensive in-person training from Nov. 2-4.

    The session is a continuation of the college's partnership with the national trade association, which blossomed with certification of 29 students as VSI-recognized installers – Williamson included – during a September event on campus.
