MC Cogdell Learning Center

It is now open! Cogdell Learning Center is proud to announce the opening of our new computer lab. It is loaded with 15 state of the art computers that have the new Microsoft Office Suite 2007, as well as many other programs. It is free and open to the public during Cogdell Learning Center regular business hours. Our very own Irma Ochoa is teaching free basic computer classes in the lab weekly. Please stop by and take a look at the new computer lab!

Cogdell Learning Center is please to welcome the new Office and Lab Assistant, Irma Ochoa! Irma comes to us from Prevent Blindness Texas, and is a very talented lady. She knows an abundance regarding Cogdell Learning Center because she is also a Bill Pace Cogdell Scholarship recipient. Irma is currently attending UTPB with plans to become a bilingual teacher. She will soon be in charge of teaching FREE basic computer classes in Cogdell's new computer lab. If you get a chance, stop by to welcome Irma Ochoa at Cogdell's new welcome center!

Cogdell Learning Center is under construction and the staff has moved – NEXT DOOR! Since bond construction began on June 1st, Cogdell Learning Center staff packed up and moved to the property that was acquired by the bond at 211 W. Florida. “Cogdell West” houses Liz Zenteno, Adriana Jaso and Betsy Seanard. On that same property, BEDC counselors, Dr. John Martinez and Bob Lanier, have their separate office in a small building just directly next to “Cogdell West.” Cogell staff hopes to be back into their regular offices in September 2007; however, the entire project will not be complete until around October 2007. For bond construction updates, see the Midland College page in the Midland Reporter Telegram on Sundays, or call us at 432-684-4100. Please pass the word along that Cogdell is still here to serve the community, and feel free to stop by and visit our temporary offices. We are here to serve you!

After 25 years of service to Midland College, Donna Hill, Cogdell Learning Center Secretary, retired. May 31, 2007 was Donna’s last day with Midland College, and she went out with a bang! Cogdell co-workers threw Donna a retirement bash on the MC main campus where she was well-wished by a great number of MC friends. She will enjoy her retirement here in Midland, working on her yard, spending time with her family and traveling. Thanks Donna for your many years of service to Midland College and Cogdell Learning Center! We will miss you!
