An alumnus of the BS in Industrial Technology – Automotive Technology program donated automotive tools to the College of Industrial Technology, particularly to the department of Bachelor in Automotive Technology.

Mr. Eric Gagarin, a member of the 2010 class, donated the automotive tools for the students to use in their laboratory classes. 

These tools include: Diagnostic Scan tool FixAssist OBD2+ ABS; a 17-pc Screwdriver set; an inspection mirror/pick-up tool; multimeter; battery brush; 8-function miltimeter; 99-pc electrical home repair kit; 25-pc stripper/crimper and terminals set; torque wrench 20-100 LBS; 12-IN, 17-IN, & 25-IN curved pry bars; 3-pc adjustable wrench set; 3-piece locking pliers set; 10-pc ratcheting combination wrench set; and, a 28-pc combination wrench set. 

During his visit to MMSU last February 12, Mr. Gagarin recalled his days in the college. “As I look back on my college days, I remember my professors who influenced me in my professional and personal life. When I think about all the things that my alma mater did for me, I want to give back as a gesture of gratitude,” Gagarin said.

Dr. Cesario Y. Pacis, the college dean, said that the college is grateful for the alumni who visit and donate tools and instruments which are beneficial for the learning process of the students. “Our graduates never forget CIT which they claim to have transformed their lives to becoming successful and financially stable. They are very fascinated of how the university has metamorphosed, and this motivates them more to keep coming back,” he stressed.
