This tight-knit cohort excelled in their studies, uplifted each other, and remained confident upon their testing day. With a comprehensive grasp of human anatomy, they produced medical images, swiftly delivering them to a radiologist—a streamlined exercise imparting real-world techniques with colleagues at their level. Students complete 1,680 hours of clinical rotation and hone their diagnostic, surgical, fluoroscopic, portable, and emergency training skills, with simulations a modern staple of their instruction. An aura of selfless service overlaid the conversations and problem-solving from those clad in navy blue scrubs. It’s a harmonious setting to cultivate your aptitude. They knew it, and so did their professors.
“The class of 2024 left a lasting impression. Accomplishing a one hundred percent first-time pass rate doesn’t surprise me. These students were incredibly close to everyone in the program, poised to voice their minds, ask questions, and hold valuable discussions. The local community is lucky to have the opportunity to hire and work with them,” said Rori Wilkis, Radiologic Technology Director.
Their milestone reflects TMCC’s commitment to bolstering inclusive undergraduate growth while striving to sculpt proactive society members who are proud to harness their talents in the trade they’ve pursued because of the knowledge they’ve gained.

U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Visits Applied Technology Center
United States Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm recently gave remarks at the William N. Pennington Applied Technology Center, highlighting careers and sustainable energy uses in Nevada. It was an enlightening morning inside the IGT Hub as the audience listened intently to her discourse on lithium-ion loop industries, as our state is well poised to lead the sourcing, processing, producing, and recycling of batteries. TMCC is pivotal in training a qualified workforce for our partners to operate and maintain these plants. But then, in a charming twist, she pointed to a crowd member.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm gives a charismatic speech to students, colleagues, faculty, and staff inside the IGT Hub.
“Justice is twenty-three years old. She owns a house and a Tesla. I’m so glad you are an example of what can happen to others. You’re making good money. Working at an industry of the future,” Granholm said.
She’s referring to TMCC Alumna Justice Fevella-Potes, a Level 4 Technician at Tesla, a beacon for aspiring students. Garnering domestic and financial stability at such a young age is sensational but impossible without the merits of higher education and collaborative development allies. It was an animated shoutout, and attendees resounded with applause, this reputable program’s ingenuity and the cosmic goal of lifelong learning ringing with every beating palm.
At the beginning of the gathering, TMCC President Dr. Karin Hilgersom celebrated our pledge to renewable power through the ample apprenticeships, certificates, and degrees awarded in Advanced Manufacturing, emphasizing eco-friendly contexts in Architecture and Automotive classes, for instance, carbon neutrality and alternatively fueled vehicles.
“The purpose is to establish essential abilities, such as safety standards, electrical theory, and intricate robotics maintenance and operation, ultimately preparing them to secure jobs rapidly in these cutting-edge fields,” said Hilgersom.
Hilgersom underlined the climatic conditions involving heating-cooling concepts, urban development and wildland fires, debris transport, and scenic stewardship in construction. Types, laws, and regulations for substitute gases, liquids, biodiesel, and hybrids continue to drive insightful lecture exchanges addressing tomorrow’s automobiles. A holistic lens into the scale of educational excellence we strive for at TMCC.
“We are honored to share this charge in Northern Nevada’s green spheres and the significant improvements it’s making on the environment,” said Hilgersom.
