All employees at Ozarks Technical Community College will receive a pay raise for the upcoming school year.
The OTC Board of Trustees unanimously approved a 2 percent raise for all full-time and part-time employees, including adjunct instructors, for the 2021-22 year.
OTC Chancellor Hal Higdon made the proposal during the Monday meeting. A 2 percent raise in this environment we feel like is a really, really good thing, he said, noting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our employees have really pulled together, our faculty learned to teach new modalities in a matter of minutes and days instead of years, and staff has pulled together.

Growing up, I stayed fit by playing sports and staying active; I even played college lacrosse. But in my late 20s, I gained so much weight; I was bartending full-time, and I would stay up all night, and drink excessive amounts of alcohol.
I ate anything I wanted, ignoring the effect it had on my health, and at 28, I hit my peak weight of 260 pounds. I would get out of breath doing simple tasks. I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin, and when I looked at myself in the mirror I was ashamed. For someone who played college lacrosse, I was really angry that I was having such difficulties.
