KSU Alum Wins Big at Expo

Michael Le was the lucky winner of an iPad mini drawing held during the College of Continuing and Professional Education‘s free Career Training Expo July 30. He said he was so surprised to receive the phone call notifying him of his prize that he didn’t think it could be real.

“I never win anything,” he said, holding his new iPad mini and case. “I’m a believer. I’m ecstatic.”

Le hails from Austell by way of Marietta. He graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in criminal justice, but that didn’t end his pursuit of education. He came to Expo because of his interest in gaining new skills where he could advance his career. Le is currently taking the final courses required to attend dental school, but he’s also exploring additional education options.

He said he’s interested in Real Estate Property Management and other Healthcare courses, such as Medical Billing and Coding and EKG Technician. He even sat in on the Administrative Professional information session.

“I got a lot out of it,” Le said of the free event. “I was very informed about how many careers and opportunities there were. I’ve got to set up a plan A, B and C.”

He said he’s also excited about the iPad mini, which he plans to use for school.

The Career Training Expo was an open-house event showcasing programs ranging from AutoCAD and Cisco to Project Management and Residential Landscape Design. More than 400 attendees also had the opportunity to learn about financial aid, participate in social media giveaways, receive a discount coupon on future classes and attend a free session with career coach John Long, Career Development instructor at the College.
