Congratulations to Ellen McLaughlin, on her induction into the GST BOCES CTE Hall of Fame!

From graduating #1 in her Nurse Aid class at GST BOCES to becoming a beloved educator and mentor, Ellen's journey is deeply woven into the history of Bush Campus.

Ellen served as Registered Nurse (RN) Clinical Instructor at Bush Campus. Her dedication to students, compassionate spirit, and commitment to helping others have made a lasting impact for generations.

Ellen doesn't seek recognition. She works quietly behind the scenes, always putting students first, whether that means offering support, sharing wisdom, or baking sweet treats before clinical rotations.

Her kindness, leadership, and authenticity have earned the respect of colleagues, former students, and community members alike.

As one colleague shared, "Ellen's heart can be felt at Bush Campus, and her impact reaches far beyond the classroom walls making her truly deserving induction into the BOCES Hall of Fame."

Congratulations, Ellen, on this well-deserved induction into the GST BOCES CTE Hall of Fame!

Congratulations to Devin Gwinner on being named a GST BOCES CTE Hall of Fame Award recipient!

As part of our newly established CTE Hall of Fame, each campus has been reconnecting with alumni to learn how their experiences helped shape the people they are today.

Devin, a graduate of the Criminal Justice program (2014-15), shared that his time at GST BOCES helped him develop invaluable qualities like empathy, patience, & resilience. He credits the program with teaching him that growth often comes through overcoming challenges and persevering through difficult situations.

Those lessons have carried far beyond the classroom. In the fall of 2024, Devin played a key role in creating Steuben County's Commercial Driver Training Program. Since its launch, he has helped more than 50 individuals earn their commercial driver's licenses, creating opportunities and opening doors for members of the community.

Devin's dedication to helping others succeed reflects the very values that Career and Technical Education strives to instill in students. His commitment to service, leadership, and personal growth continues to make a meaningful impact on those around him.

Congratulations, Devin, on this well-deserved honor and on becoming an inductee into the GST BOCES CTE Hall of Fame!
