The South Georgia Technical College (SGTC) General Education and Learning Support advisory committee met recently in the Energy and Transportation Center on the SGTC Americus campus. In the meeting, the committee discussed several aspects of the general education classes offered at SGTC.
The purpose of the advisory committee is to assist South Georgia Technical College faculty and staff in continuous quality improvement of the General Education and Learning Support programs. SGTC general education instructors provided the committee, composed of fellow instructors and staff from both campuses, with updates and information about program changes, enrollment, community activities and student news.
The advisory committee members provide information to SGTC faculty and staff about suggested improvements in curriculum, new technology, employment/internship opportunities available for students, and salary levels students may anticipate upon graduation.
Members present at the advisory meeting were Chester Taylor, Math Instructor; Dr. Michele Small, Psychology Instructor; Raven Payne, English Instructor; Jaye Cripe, Early Childhood Care and Education Instructor; Cynthia Carter, Director of Career Services; Deo Cochran, Retention and Coaching Specialist; Kari Bodrey, Registrar; and Dr. Andrea Oates, Academic Dean.
The advisory committee is a crucial link that provides an avenue for South Georgia Technical College instructors to learn about changing conditions or technology in the workplace that can then be passed along to students that will enable them to be fully prepared upon graduation.
