For 37 years, Randy Tenpas (Hayley’s dad!) helped make Fox Valley Tech one of the most prolific colleges in all of Wisconsin when it comes to agriculture education and training. Agriculture at Fox Valley Tech runs a rich history dating more than 80 years ago, but for nearly half of that time, the leadership of Randy Tenpas is felt in numerous capacities.
Randy retired last week as a department chair and faculty member in the college’s agriculture department; he shares with his daughter what changes have occurred in the Ag industry over the years, the impacts of Wisconsin agriculture and some of the most important moments from Randy’s 37 years in education.
During our current world, it can be comforting for some to dream, to look ahead and imagine the future. That’s what we hope Focus on Careers can do for those looking to find a new career opportunity. Each week with Fox Valley Technical College, we’ll highlight careers of promise and learn what makes a positive college experience.
