The Tuesday, March 3 field trip for all SPASH sophomores to Mid-State Technical College (MSTC) in Wisconsin Rapids and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) may help students decide what to do after high school.
This is the second year this trip is available.
“This field trip absolutely made up my mind when it comes to my plans after college,” said Nathan Strasman, a SPASH junior who went on the field trip last year.
This field trip to MSTC and UWSP is designed to help sophomores figure out what their path will be after high school. “It is a great experience and if someone decides not to go, they will be missing out on key events that will shape their future.
“My favorite part of this field trip was at MTSC when I got to learn how to change my tires and I raced someone else to see how fast I could change them. I will never forget that moment because it was so fun and enjoyable,” Strasman said.
If a student is deciding if this field trip is worth going on they should know that it’s only designed to benefit them for their success in life after high school.
“I believe everyone should go on this field trip because it’s really exciting and fun to be with your friends and check out different possibilities for your future. Almost everything you do at MSTC and UWSP is supposed to entertain you and I loved every minute of it,” Strasman said.

I think this article is pretty good and does a nice job of listing the benefits of this field trip.

I went on the trip and found it very helpful and I think you could have talked about why they are are going on the trip because of the ACT.

I remember when I went on this trip.. I thought it was cool to do the different demos that they had set up and I enjoyed touring campus at UWSP because that is where I want to attend and that is where my parents went. I think that it should happen every year cause I learned a lot when going on the trip

I think I could have done a little better in writing this article. But I think that it’s good to read because you will know what is out there.

I find it interesting that the field trip to the colleges was continued this year I thought that it would be a rotating field trip so every other year it would occur. I do however feel that calling it the start of a tradition is a little ambitious as it has only happened twice thus far however it may evolve into one.
