New Trustee a Voice for Educators
Freshly added trustee, Karen Hatton-Mihalic joined the BCET to give voice to her fellow educators. With her many years of teaching in the Beaver Area School District, she believes she is the right person for the job. Further, she hopes to continue bridging the gap of education to work for Beaver County students. It is no wonder, her favorite BCET program is Beaver County Works #STEMSTRONG, which aims to inform at risk students about skills needed for current local career paths.

The BCET is a 501c(3) and accepts on-line donations.
BVIU Retiree Stays Active
Joseph L. Rubino joins the BCET board of trustees after a career of 40 years in education, with his last employment at the BVIU. Mr. Rubino wanted to continue his support of teachers and students of Beaver County after retiring and saw the board position as an opportunity to do just that. His favorite BCET program is the Great Idea Mini-Grant. His team received a grant for the "Brain Steps" program his team at the IU created on concussions a few years back. The award left an impression on Joe and so he was eager to help when asked by the BCET.
