Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) is proud to announce that Paul Titus, welding instructor, has been awarded the Minnesota Association for Career and Technical Administrators (MACTA) Educator of the Year award.
Paul Titus is being recognized by MACTA for his outstanding contributions to educating Minnesota youth.
