The first week of classes can be a stressful time in the life of a college student. To help alleviate this stress, and to encourage students to meet new people, we have planned social activities during Welcome Back Week.
Welcome to ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ and the Fall Term. All of us at the College are excited about your arrival!†Whether you are new or returning, I?d like to remind you of a few things before classes begin on Monday:
The Adult Education Department at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ will offer free General Education Development (GED) classes in Mount Pleasant.†Both day and evening classes are available.†Students interested in attending classes must enroll in a 12-hour orientation. Orientation and classes will be held at the Adult Education Center located in Room 126 of the Mount Pleasant ISD Administration Building at 105 N. Riddle. †The day orientation will be September 4-6 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and classes begin September 10.
ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ held its summer 2012 commencement ceremony at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, Aug. 10. During the ceremony, 82 students were awarded associate degrees and 66 earned certificates of competency in their chosen fields. Cory Nesbitt, a 2003 graduate of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ who is now a mechanical engineer for NASA, gave the commencement address. Nesbitt is a native of Mount Pleasant and graduated from Mount Pleasant High School. Pictured above, Carlos Mendez, of Mount Pleasant, gives the student response as his classmates look on.
The ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Foundation recently received a $500 scholarship from the Pleasant Sams, the Mount Pleasant Chapter of the Good Sams Club of America. This year's gift will benefit a student studying in the Carroll Shelby Automotive Technology program at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ.
