ADEI Technician Training Scholars Honored

Tim Petro, (in photo at right) a student in WANADAs Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI) technician training program, has been selected as the Presidential Apprenticeship Scholar for Montgomery College. Tim is in the final semester of his two-year ADEI studies and was chosen by the college for his work and achievements in the ADEI program, his continuing dedication to his education and training, and his devotion to the industry, both on the job and off, in the volunteering that he does regularly for the high school automotive program in Montgomery County.

The scholarship is a $2,000 award that can be used for future classes at Montgomery College or as he sees fit. Petro is currently taking general education requirements in the evenings at MC to complete his Associate Degree. He has passed four ASE achievement tests, which he will be transferring for college credit.

He will be honored at the Annual Rockville Campus Honor Awards Convocation on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 4:00 pm in the Robert E. Parilla Performing Arts Center.

Also receiving well deserved recognition is Samantha Gray, who is in her final semester of the ADEI program at the Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria. Samantha has been named by the school as team leader in her group and cited for her A work during the entirety of her studies and her overall dedication to excellence.

Said ADEI program director Bill Belew, Tim and Samantha have been wonderful examples for the ADEI technician training program and we congratulate them both on their hard work and achievements.
