     Joe Parisien is a well established professor at St. Lawrence College, Cornwall. For this reason Joe is able to speak freely on why he enjoys the campus and what it has to offer. He says, “We have always thought of our programs as being unique!” He explained to us that the technology programs allow the students to have the opportunity to change their areas of expertise, further stating that the students always have the option to decide what field they would like to branch into. Promoting the College seems to be an easy task for Joe, “Not only does our faculty have a wealth of knowledge and experience, but our facilities are top notch!”

     Joe’s education stemmed from St. Lawrence College, Cornwall, where he graduated from the Electronic Engineering and Technology Program. “Even though the programs we offer may have the same title as other institutions [Microcomputer Engineering Technology or Computer Engineering Technician - Network Systems], we consider our programs unique due to the mix of hardware and software that is delivered. Due to the changing technology, the content of our programs must be constantly evaluated and changed to reflect the needs of our students.” For that reason Joe must continuously upgrade himself in terms of technology. After graduation from St. Lawrence College, Joe worked at GTE Sylvania Electric and GTE Automatic Electric (Microtel) where he gained experience in test engineering and digital design before returned to teach in 1982.

     The first thing we noticed in Joe’s office was his running shoes. He tells us that he enjoys healthy living and is an avid walker. He also adds that he likes sports, and is a big fan of the America’s Cup (yachting) held every few years. Busy as he is, Joe is a key organizer for the Journey to the Father youth conference that is taking place this summer in St. Raphael’s.
