Mir Arif

English

Portrait of Mir Arif inside the COTC Pataskala campus.

Inspiration comes from everywhere, which is certainly the case for Mir Arif, adjunct English faculty at Central Ohio Technical College (COTC).

Arif didn’t start his educational journey with sights set on teaching – or even English. His original major at the University of Dhaka was in international relations. “I felt like it didn’t satisfy my inner needs, my desires and passions,” Arif explains. He then switched to journalism, writing for English newspapers while still in Bangladesh. “I realized that I loved writing, and I’ve always loved reading. I felt the passion come back to me.”

What our students and alumni say about COTC

Alexis McPeck stands behind a podium with the Intel logo at their semiconductor factory, or fab, in Phoenix, Arizona.I’m so glad I made the decision to try and go back to school, because I’ve learned that I can do what I initially thought was impossible. COTC has been great with helping me through this experience. 

Alexis McPeck, electrical engineering technology student and recipient of the Intel Scholarship for Women in Technology

I really enjoyed the multigenerational element of COTC. I found it to be overwhelmingly enlightening to see what other people were doing in their walks of life. I learned a lot and got great exposure to engineering concepts. But I also got a great social awakening, too.

My COTC experience afforded me the opportunity to build upon my vocational background and provided me with the stepping stones to pursue additional education and roles within the manufacturing industry.

Talent Ready Grant

The Talent Ready Grant is offered through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) to support students who have financial need, are enrolled in a short-term certificate that may be completed in less than one year (less than 30 credit hours), and leads to a certification or a workforce credential in an in-demand job or career. The grant is intended to assist in covering the cost of tuition and fees (up to $2000) and is a limited fund that will be awarded until funds are exhausted.
