Dear Augusta Technical College Students,
I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to each of you, and I want to thank you for choosing Augusta Technical College. Whether you are beginning college for the first time, returning to continue your education, or taking the next step toward a new career, you are part of a community that is committed to your success.
I am honored to serve as the new president of Augusta Technical College. I recently joined this remarkable institution because I believe deeply in its mission and in what technical education makes possible. Augusta Tech changes lives and strengthens communities by preparing students for meaningful careers, and I am grateful that you are allowing us to be part of your journey.
As you begin or continue your academic path with us, I want you to know that we see you, we value your goals, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Your dedication and determination inspire everything we do. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing high-quality instruction, relevant skills, and a supportive learning environment so you can thrive inside and outside of the classroom. So, I encourage you to engage with your instructors, meet with advisors, visit our student support centers, and connect with your classmates. Your path may look different from those around you, but our mission remains the same: to help you develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge that will prepare you for a meaningful career and a strong future.
In the months ahead, I look forward to meeting many of you, learning about your aspirations, and hearing your voices. We will continue to build a culture where students have access to the resources they need, where programs align with industry needs, and where learning translates into opportunities that improve lives.
Thank you again for choosing Augusta Technical College. I am excited for what lies ahead and proud to be a part of your college experience. I wish you a successful, rewarding, and enjoyable semester.
