��«����Ƶ was well-represented at a career and college fair held in Gilmer this week. More than 500 seniors from all Upshur County high schools attended. ��«����Ƶ had booths from Continuing Education, Professional Driving Academy, Work4College, Medical Assistant, Shelby Automotive, Health Sciences and Student Services/Recruiting.

"This was a phenomenal recruiting opportunity for the college and we appreciate everyone who took the time set up and showcase all of the great programs ��«����Ƶ has to offer," Kim Irvin, Dean of Enrollment Management, said. 

     The ��«����Ƶ Fire Academy is now recruiting for its 20th Academy. Since 2002, the program has trained numerous individuals in fire service.

     “It is hard to believe that we have been meeting our region’s need for trained firefighters for 20 years. This program is an asset to our community and is a great opportunity for those interested in fire service,” Lisa York, ��«����Ƶ Continuing Education Coordinator, said.

The ��«����Ƶ Theatre Program is excited to announce our upcoming production of A 1940s Christmas Carol. This play will be at the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts on December 2, 3, and 4th. Evening shows are at 7:30 and there is also a matinee on December 4th at 2:30 pm. The play is about an hour long, family friendly, and a wonderful way to usher in the holiday season.
