Reynolds Center for Technology, where she met students and faculty in Manufacturing, Industrial Electronics and Mechatronics.

She even shared her own background as a computer programmer while checking out demos — including a robot that moved objects and waved hello. Senator Rosen also test-drove our Commercial Driver’s License simulator, braving a snowstorm scenario behind the wheel! 

Her visit wrapped up with WNC Police Services and some encouraging words for our team: “Keep doing what you are doing!”
