Canadian Valley Technology Center
Chalk up yet
another honor for Canadian Valley Technology Center’s Interactive
Media and Web Technology students. Ken Treagesser, a second-year
Canadian Valley student from Newcastle, recently won the BPA (Business
Professionals of America) State Pin Design Contest
Every year at the BPA’s National Leadership
Conference, each state provides a pin for members to trade with
other states’ pins. The BPA Executive Council chose Treagesser’s
design to be the Oklahoma’s BPA pin at the national conference
in New York City this coming spring.
Treagesser came to Canadian Valley after working
for more than 20 years in the design industry. After starting his
own design company, Graphiken in Newcastle, he realized he needed
more than just print design experience; he needed to learn web
design. After researching all his options, he chose to come to
Canadian Valley in Chickasha and take the Interactive Media and
Web Technology program. It was not only closer for him, but it
would give him the exact training he needed to strengthen his business
on the Internet.
“Canadian Valley has worked out wonderfully for
me,” said Treagesser. “I would encourage any adult looking
to advance or improve their skills to check out Canadian Valley. The
school has given me exactly what I need to make my business even more
successful.” |

Treagesser is a graduate from Henryetta High School. He attended East
Central University in Ada for one year, and received two years of graphic
design training at OSU-Okmulgee.
Earlier this year, an IMW team took first place at the national BPA
conference in Orlando, Fla. Josh Reed and Randy McCauley, both of Chickasha,
beat out 11 other teams to take first place in the Web Design Competition.
