Student Success Story

In a recent letter to The Herald, Patricia Gaston describes how her life has changed since losing her job. Her story is another wonderful example of the role we play in transforming lives for the better.

Building and Construction Trades

The Building Construction Trades facility opened for classes this semester. After months of hard work from our dedicated faculty, staff, and students, the BCT program has moved to the building behind our truck driving facility on Wilson Street. Classes held at the facility include: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and building construction management. Since the program began in fall 2006, enrollment has increased from 63 to 133 students . If you get a chance, go by while classes are in session and take a look. Congratulations and thanks to all involved in this project!

New Signage

The campus will soon have new pedestrian signage! The worn, wooden signs around campus will be replaced with low cost ($30-$50 each) sign plates and the poles will be repainted. This is an interim step towards improving signage on campus. As part of our planning process, the College's Campus Master Plan will be updated. This update will include an evaluation of campus signage, traffic flow patterns, walkways, and building needs and will help determine how to improve directional signage across campus. In the meantime, these new signs will be more visible and attractive. Thanks to all those involved in making this happen.
