WATERTOWN, SD – Thirty-one students were elected to Lake Area Technical College’s Student Voice organization in September. Student Voice meets monthly and provides LATC students a say in campus policy and decisions by establishing direct, open dialogue between students and Lake Area Tech administration. Representing all LATC students, membership consists of delegates elected by the students in each program.

In addition to the dialogue, the Student Voice Organization leads student “Give Back Projects” to positively contribute to the Watertown community. The success of Lake Area Tech is a result of the support students receive from the community. The Give Back Projects are one way to return the favor. Lake Area Tech students complete over 100,000 hours of community service and service learning projects annually. Lake Area Tech Vice President Diane Stiles commented, “Once again, the students are outstanding leaders and we look forward to an impactful year for the organization.”
