Governor Spencer J. Cox Visits Bridgerland Technical College
On August 30, 2021, Bridgerland Technical College was honored to host Governor Spencer J. Cox and the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce for lunch! In addition, local legislators were present; including, the Mayor of Logan City, Holly Daines; the Utah Commissioner of Agriculture and Food, Craig Buttars; Senator Chris Wilson; Representative Casey Snider; Representative Dan Johnson; and Representative Mike Petersen. Many other key business and community leaders were also in attendance.
The Culinary Arts program prepared a delicious meal for the occasion. The mouth-watering menu included a Caprese salad, Rosemary roasted potatoes, and a beef fillet. Dessert was a rich pumpkin swirl cheesecake.
But the real treat was hearing from the governor. His positive and encouraging thoughts about BTECH and what technical education means to the state inspired all attendance. Thank all those who participated and made the amazing event possible.

BTECH Groovy Party a Success!
Bridgerland Technical College wants to thank everyone for making the 50-Year Groovy Party a huge success! Approximately 3,000 people were in attendance showing a positive response from the community.
During the event, representatives from each program shared what BTECH offers in a fun, unique way! For example, Automated Manufacturing had dancing robots, Animal Sciences hosted a petting zoo, and Therapeutic Massage provided a massage booth! The food booths were a big hit, so there was definitely something for everyone!
It was great to see so many smiling faces since the start of the pandemic! Those in attendance mentioned how grateful they were to have something fun they could do with their families in public! We would like to give a big thanks to everyone involved, and we can’t wait to take on similar worthwhile projects in the future!
Breyden Summers – Bridgerland Technical College Student of the Year
Congratulations to Breyden Summers, Bridgerland Technical College’s 2021 Student of the Year! Breyden graduated from the Automated Manufacturing program making this the second 900-hour certificate program he finished while still in high school!
Breyden was introduced to BTECH during his Sophomore year when he saw a poster advertising the AM STEM Academy. He started taking an early-morning class and loved it! Matthew Fuller, one of Breyden’s instructors said that Breyden would come to class early in the morning, after school, and even during the summer to complete the coursework. Additionally, Matthew commented that Breyden demonstrated a real curiosity about automation, automated systems, code, and computer systems because he dove in to understand it.
After graduating high school, Breyden was able to earn a third certificate in the Electronic Engineering Technology program and find employment. Now, Breyden works at Schreiber Foods and is using the knowledge he gained to be successful in his career.
Breyden Summers is definitely an example of what students can achieve if they are willing to work. He demonstrates leadership and dedication that many look up to and admire. We are confident that he is an excellent choice for the 2021 Student of the Year!
Bridgerland Technical College June Graduation Celebration
Bridgerland Technical College held graduation ceremonies on June 1st and 2nd at the Logan Campus – West and again on June 3rd at the Brigham City Branch Campus. Programs were assigned times for their graduates to walk across the room and receive diplomas and recognition from faculty and administration. It was clear how much this moment meant to students and their families from the smiles and cheers from all in attendance.
After students received their diplomas, they participated in the tassel toss as a representation of their educational accomplishment. Once finished with the ceremony, family and friends were able to get pictures with their graduates.
This moment was not only meaningful for graduates, but for everyone at Bridgerland Technical College. We feel honored to have been a crucial part in the future careers of program graduates! We wish each of them luck and look forward to seeing their continued success!
