Professor Mike Grieb, Chair of OCC's School of Computing & Applied Technologies, was recently certified to teach robotics on FANUC brand technology. "FANUC is one of the world leaders in robotics. It's a pretty big deal to have a base for it here. They're popular in Central New York. Places like Schneider Packaging use FANUC robotics almost exclusively."

Dennis and Judi Hebert have dedicated their lives to helping others. They were recognized for their service November 15 when they received the 2022 Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

I look at this as a community involvement award."
