HOBART
INSTITUTE HONORED BY “WELDERS WITHOUT BORDERS”
During his recent visit to the Hobart Institute of Welding
Technology, Professor Samuel Colton, Sr., Professor of Welding
from Arizona Western College,
presented the Hobart Institute and Marty
Baker with plaques of appreciation in support of his
program, Soldadores Sin Fronteras /Welders Without Borders.
“You have been chosen to receive this recognition for your
service to the welders of the world and your devotion to the
welding industry. Many have come before you, but few have
rendered the service you have given. In the world of
welding, your contributions know no borders.”
In 2000, Professor Samuel Colton founded Soldadores Sin
Fronteras /Welders Without Borders in response to create
greater opportunity for members of the welding community to
share their experiences with students of welding. This has
resulted in an ever-growing network of welding educators,
students and industry leaders working together to serve others.
Since that time, Colton has spent his summers working with
welding programs in the United States, Mexico and Peru.
Most recently, he has been in contact with Derek Isu and
officials in Nigeria to extend the program to that West African
nation.
“Each of us can help build our world into a safer and
better place by using our knowledge and talents to lift young
people and each other up; and to use our skill in welding to
serve our communities and make them better places for all,”
says Professor Colton.
Soldadores Sin Fronteras /Welders Without Borders
welcomes support from welding professionals from around the
world who are willing to travel anywhere and share their
knowledge and experience to advance the future of our industry
and build a better understanding between people through the
advancement of metals technology.
“Welding is a knowledge that improves lives, builds
nations, and gives hope to millions,” says Sam Colton.
Professor Colton was in Troy to attend the annual, week-long Welding
Instructor Course at the Hobart Institute of Welding
Technology.
