Electric Utility Technology Graduate
Ashley Morris graduated from Pierpont’s Electric Utility Technology (EUT) program. Upon graduating, she became the first female line worker in MonPower history. “When I entered the [EUT] program I had no idea that I was the first female. It has been very rewarding. Although there have been many unexpected challenges, I wouldn’t change anything,” said Morris. “After several careers I found the one that I am proud of at the end of the day. I love my career.”
