Dear Augusta Technical College Students,
Welcome to Augusta Technical College, and thank you for choosing us. Whether you are beginning college for the first time, returning to continue your education, or preparing for a new career, you are joining a community focused on helping you succeed.
I am honored to serve as the new president of Augusta Technical College. I chose to join this institution because I believe strongly in its mission and in the power of technical education to change lives. Augusta Tech prepares students for meaningful careers while strengthening the communities we serve, and I am proud to be part of that work.
At Augusta Tech, we see you, we value your goals, and we are committed to supporting you throughout your academic journey. Our faculty and staff provide high-quality instruction, industry-relevant skills, and a supportive learning environment designed to help you thrive in the classroom and beyond. Your dedication and determination inspire everything we do.
I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities available to you. Engage with your instructors, meet with advisors, use our student support services, and connect with your peers. Your path may be unique, but our purpose is shared: to help you build the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed for 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 wish you a successful and rewarding semester.
