May 15, 2008 - In making this month's Cougarcast we spoke with three Collin College students who are each moving on to new challenges and opportunities. As you'll hear in this 
episode, all three hold Collin College, its instructors and the education they've received here in the highest regard. And as they prepare to leave for another college or university or start a new career in the workforce, they proudly state their experience here at the college will impact their future.
We begin our podcast with Julie Boudreaux, a nursing graduate, who will soon apply her training on patients at an area hospital.
Following Ms. Boudreaux, we interviewed Tiara Tyree, who will be transferring to a partner university.
The episode concludes with Adam Pawelczyk, a Collin College ambassador, who has big plans at Texas Christian University and credits the college for many of his opportunities.
As these students move on to new things, the Cougarcast is also looking forward. Do you look forward each month to the Cougarcast arriving in your podcast player?

The consciousness of green America is alive and it's spirit is most evident during the month of April as Earth Day events and eco-friendly initiatives are held. Collin College's Earth Day events April 15 and 16 are evidence of a nationwide phenomena of individuals recognizing the frailty of the planet and agreeing to do something about it. We talked with E.J. Hanford, professor of environmental science, about Earth Day and the culture around saving the planet.
We also talked with Rebecca Boatman, professor of art, about eco-conscious art and the use of recycled objects.
Also: This month's Cougar News features an article on the college's Earth Day festivities. Events will focus around the theme of "It Is Easy To Be Green! Recycle – Reuse -- Renew Our Planet."
