Welcome to Cowley County Community College

2021 - Kailee established a college family early on as a member of the Tiger Athletics Track & Field Team. Her sports career may have ended at the end of her Freshman year but her lifelong passion was discovered along the way in the many ways she got involved on campus.

After missing her high school graduation due to the pandemic, she was ready to create lifelong memories and friendships.

2022 - During her sophomore year, she became a Cowley Ambassador, a Champion leader of student club, Voices Heard, an officer in Student Senate, and also a member of the ACES programs which helps assist with a variety of community services projects.

These new opportunities allowed her to pivot towards projects that helped her gain experience in encouraging culture change; aligning with her long-term goal of becoming a civil rights lawyer.

2023 - Kailee is now furthering her education at Texas Southern University where she is the Political Science Club President, a member of the Collegiate 100, and involved in advocacy around crucial election times.

During the Summer of 2023, Kailee attended the University of Alabama Law Summer Scholars Program in preparation for her next educational step of entering law school.

2021 - Before she began her college exploration adventure she knew nothing about welding.

2022 - Kota chose to study Welding Technology at the Mulvane Technical Education Center because it was a smaller setting and closer to home.

2023 - Kota developed into one of the best welders in her class in Welding Technology and Applied Science. She currently is using her degree in El Dorado as a car repairman II where she welds on tank train cars to repair them and inspect the welds.

The welding processes she uses are shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) also known as stick welding and flux core arc welding (FCAW). I learned both of these processes during my time at Cowley as well as tungsten tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and metal inert gas welding (MIG).

2018 - Andrew fell in love with being his hometown high school mascot with the goal to one day be Tank the Tiger.

2019 - After graduating high school, Andrew started his journey as Tank who would later win the ranking of a National Championship Mascot.

Academically, Andrew leaned into his Mass Communications degree in becoming a crucial member of the Cowley Sports Network broadcasting team; adding sports productions to his resume from ESPN-caliber events.

2020 - Not only did Andrew assist in sports broadcasting but he would also become the Men's basketball manager.

2021 - Taking his career to new heights was the next step but just up the road at Southwestern College where Andrew can have access to the opportunities that both colleges offer.
