Jobs are FALLING Out of the Sky!

We've had some distinguished guests calling in and stopping by this week on the hunt for our fantastic culinarians!  James Kraham, Daniel Crowell, and Jason Hill from The Meat House joined Jodi Ackerman, Platt College's Career and Industry Representative, and me at Chefs di Domani for lunch.  The Meat House, a new Butcher/Boutique concept,  is opening their first Oklahoma location in Edmond later this month. 

Also exciting was our trip to see Chef Andrew Murin  at the Chesapeake Arena.  Jodi and I braved the construction zones to visit with the Chef and his staff regarding their upcoming needs for the holiday and concert season.  We enjoyed getting a behind the scenes tour of the new construction, including the new Thunder Suites and restaurant concepts.  We look forward to hearing about all the exciting events our students will help bring to life!

Finally a brand new Mongolian Barbecue concept will be opening in Quail Springs Mall just in time for the Holidays.  HuHot will be the "hottest" place to eat for shoppers this year!  We were honored to have Noah Smith and Brandon Parker visit our campus and wish them all the best in their new business venture.

Massage Therapy Gets Creative

OHA's Massage Therapy students like to take things to the extreme. With one of their first assignments upon returning to class from break was to describe the muscle in the body. It would be easy enough to just point and flex but why be so basic when you can get out the washable marker and go to town on a live canvas? Edward King volunteered to have the other student draw all over his torso so that they could not only name the muscles but locate them and see them in action once they were located. Way to get creative and have fun in the process... that's what we call "Hands-On Training!"

OHA Students Return to class, Add to Population and Celebrate Constitution Day!

We are so glad to have our students back from Fall Break! This week has already proven to be busy for everyone. We kicked off the week with orientation for Cosmetology AM/PM and Massage Therapy. The new students dug right in and are enjoying what they have learned thus far. We're all excited about their future and the hopes of a successful career in their chosen fields.

Wednesday proved to be a busy day after three orientations! Oklahoma Health Academy kicked off a celebration of Constitution Day. We gathered for some food, fun and celebration with students of all programs.

Students enjoyed hot pop corn and red, white & blue cookies prepared by Chad Striplin, Executive Chef of the Sheraton Hotel in Midwest City. Along with the choice of fruit punch or lemonade, students settled in their chair for a quiz-off. With prizes of Chili's and Applebee's gift cards and Movie sets of National Treasures 1 & 2 up for grabs, there were plenty of volunteers for the game of Constitution quiz-off! We also awarded the top student for best patriotic attire.

All in all this week has been fun and exciting! It's nice to have the programs all a buzz with students again. As we bring the week to a close, student were again treated to snacks of all varieties and fruit juice to kick off their day, and again the gifts were greeted with much excitement. Here's to looking forward to more of the same next week at OHA!

Welcome Back Pizza Party

Platt College North had a Welcome Back Pizza Party for all of our students on Wednesay. We served pizza and drinks to the day and night students. This was a great event to kick off the fourth quarter and to welcome all the students back from a relaxing fall break.

Platt Central would like to say "Thank You" to the Advisory Board Members who took time out of their very busy schedules to help Platt GRADUATES be the best in the industry!

Rolling out the Red Carpet yesterday morning for our VIP's was how we started the day at Platt Central! The excitement in the AIR was unmistakable...We welcomed 79 new students and 2 returning students that are now well on there way to a fantastic future in the medical field.
