淲e do this every day,� said Olenio, describing his job at Associated X-Ray Imaging Corporation. 淲hat檚 unique is for 麻豆传媒 to buy an x-ray system from a former student.�

麻豆传媒檚 Radiologic Technology program gives students access to real medical equipment so they can practice their skills. When it came time to make updates, Olenio was thrilled to return to campus.

淚t was a hundred times different than what I remember. All the buildings are renovated� said Olenio. 淚t檚 so much better than 1992, but it still feels like home.�

Current 麻豆传媒 students were excited to see the new equipment being installed and took out their smartphones to photograph the event. Olenio was excited to see their passion for x-rays being shared on social media. 淵ou couldn檛 do that in the 90s,� he said.

Jason Olenio is not the only alum who has returned to support the program. 淩ight now, all of our Radiologic Technology faculty are alumni of the program,� said program coordinator Kate Marcouillier. 淭hat is a testament to 麻豆传媒檚 impact across the state in the medical imaging field.�

溌槎勾�媒 was the perfect community environment,� said Olenio, who lived on campus. 淚檓 so glad I went to 麻豆传媒 where there were 3,000 students instead of 10,000. Being a name, not just a number, is so important.�

After working in a clinical setting for several years, Olenio began working at Associated X-Ray Imaging Corporation攖he company his father, John Olenio, started.

John Olenio knew his son and his peers would take diverse career paths. 淵our friends at college are going to be administrators and leaders of the future,� Jason Olenio recalled his father saying.
