Cole Anderson - Cole is a third-year student in our Mechatronics program and a junior at Pennridge School District. From a young age, he has been mechanically minded, fascinated with building legos and piecing together projects. Cole’s father taught him about tools, and he would help around the house as soon as he could hold a screwdriver.

A well-rounded student, Cole plays on two ice hockey teams. He serves as co-captain at Pennridge Junior Varsity and is a valued team member on his club team. He’s also served as a SkillsUSA representative for the past two years.

Mrs. Walck regrets that she cannot attend tonight but would like to share some words about Cole. It has been a pleasure getting to know Cole, his family, and the team at Polysciences. Since working with him in May, Mrs. Walck has found Cole’s demeanor to be professional and cooperative. He expresses a desire to continue to learn.

Polysciences employ Cole in Warrington as part of his Cooperative Education Program. He has been working at Polysciences since the end of his sophomore year, mid-June 2022, as an entry-level employee. His primary job responsibilities as a maintenance mechanic apprentice include charting records, making and inspecting all cold units, helping with pump repairs, and assisting in general maintenance to keep the facility running smoothly. Mark tries to instill the importance of critical thinking in Cole by allowing him to brainstorm ideas, procedures, and rationale with another co-worker. Lisa Fenton, who works in HR, is here tonight to say a few words about Cole.

For fun, Cole goes four-wheeling with his father and friends. It certainly helps that he could put on all extensions on the four-wheelers himself.

After graduation, Cole plans to enter the workforce.
