Students Use Welding Skills to Help Their Community

Students from Johnson College’s Precision Machining Technology Program recently used their welding expertise to help the Marvine Dutch Gap Little League in Scranton.

The community service project came about after the League’s Maureen O’Malley requested that Andrew Zwanch ‘82, Precision Machining Technology Chairperson, and his students help perform some much needed repairs around the baseball field. The project involved straightening and welding together a section of wrought iron railing and repairing areas of the metal steps alongside the field’s clubhouse.

Precision Machining Technology students receive over forty hours of welding training during their time in the program. The project for Marvine Dutch Gap Little League gave them the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a real world setting. With the guidance of Mr. Zwanch and Matthew Sleboda ‘84, Technical Assistant, the students prepared the material, followed detailed instructions on the process, and learned how to operate a portable welding unit.

“The students agreed that it was nice to be able to help out the Little League because it is a vital member of the community,” says Mr. Zwanch.
