The exhibit was sponsored by the American Welding Association (AWS) and Lincoln Electric and staffed, in part, by Dunwoody instructors and students. In fact, Dunwoody welding instructors Mike Reeser and Mark Schwendeman \u2013 along with 15 of their students \u2013 generously volunteered over 135 man-hours. Reeser, Schwedeman and their students also put on a \u201cbest of the best\u201d contest to compete against one another and showcase the high-quality skills taught through Dunwoody\u2019s Welding program, which offers both a certificate and a two-year degree.<\/p>\n

Impressed by the number and caliber of the Dunwoody students, Lincoln Electric decided to donate a brand new 300 amp welder to the College.<\/p>\n

\u201cthis 300 amp welder will allow us to continue offering students the newest technology in Gas Metal Arc Welding\/Mig (GMAW),\u201d Reeser said.<\/p>\n
