Fort Hays Tech | North Central
Each semester Fort Hays Tech | North Central awards a member of our staff or faculty with a 212° Award.
The purpose of the 212° Award is to recognize individuals who demonstrate superior dedication and the willingness to go that extra degree! 212 degrees is the boiling point of water. Everyone has watched it happen as water goes from still to rumbling when it reaches that threshold. That boiling point is a transformation point.
Recipients of this award are employees who voluntarily go above and beyond the call of duty and are transformational leaders at the college. These employees demonstrate a positive attitude and commitment to their profession, students, fellow employees, and a loyalty to the mission of Fort Hays Tech | North Central.
The recipient of 2025 Fall 212 Award is Tricia Cline. Tricia is the Dean of Enrollment for the Beloit and Hays campuses.
Tricia Cline is a fantastic employee and colleague, very deserving of this recognition," said Fort Hays Tech | North Central President, Eric Burks. "In addition to excelling at her typical duties, she also led us through a complete re-branding and the implementation of a new software system. I'm so happy for her and to know that her peers recognize the great work she has accomplished!"
