MIDWEST CITY, OK — Mid-Del Technology Center is proud to announce the addition of Lauren McElroy Walls as the new Career Advisor. In her role, Lauren works directly with both on-campus and partner school students to explore program options, understand the benefits of CareerTech education, and guide them through the steps to get started at Mid-Del Tech.
Lauren brings a rich background in student support and advising, with professional experience at Oklahoma City Community College, Tri County Tech, and OSU-Oklahoma City. Her blend of recruiting and advising experience has helped her develop a strong passion for working directly with students, particularly those who may not yet realize the life-changing opportunities CareerTech can offer.
“As a young student, I didn’t know the advantages CareerTech could provide,” said Lauren. “Now, it’s a priority for me to make sure every student I meet knows they have options—valuable, empowering options—that can change the course of their lives.”
Lauren holds dual Bachelor’s degrees in Interpersonal Communication and Early Childhood Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, as well as two Associate degrees from Oklahoma State University–Oklahoma City. She is also a certified early childhood educator.
Outside the office, Lauren enjoys traveling with her husband and recently visited Glacier Bay National Park in Gustavus, Alaska. She’s also passionate about fiber arts and enjoys exploring local craft markets.
Please join us in welcoming Lauren McElroy Walls to the Mid-Del Tech team!
