Your World Class Manufacturing course is great for students because it shows them what is available when they graduate. Touring Hayssen and other companies gives them a diversity of experience. Even if some students do not go into industry or engineering, they will be better for gaining such knowledge. I wish that there had been a class like yours at my high school, and I think it would be great if every high school student had such an opportunity. Shelby Bartley, Hayssen
