Daniel Island Community Speakers Series with Vicky Wood
About this Event
The Daniel Island Community Speaker’s Series will resume on Wednesday evening, September 23rd, from 7:00-8:00 PM in the ballroom at the Daniel Island Club. The speaker will be Dr. Vicky Wood, President of Trident Technical College.
Trident Tech provides an alternative for many high school grads to the traditional four-year college degree. A four-year college degree is great but not for everybody. Many high school grads have no idea what they want to do. Why not go to a school like TTC for the first two years and then transfer to the four-year college of your choice? You get the same diploma that you would have gotten and accumulate a lot less debt. Or maybe college is not the right path for you at all. TTC offers 83 programs many of which are for high demand, good paying careers. Things like fiber optics, bridge and highway construction, EMT’s, nursing, the culinary arts, PC Support, network management, programming languages, forensic investigators, cyber security, transportation security, and aeronautics. One hundred percent of its graduates have jobs waiting for them. For those of you with teenage kids it is an alternative worth considering.
As the first person to graduate from college her story resonates with many of TTC’s students and employees. After high school she attended Marion Technical College where she earned her associate degree. She continued her education eventually earning a doctorate in higher education leadership and working her way up to chief academic officer and provost. She says that, “My community college experience fostered my passion for helping others change their lives through higher education which has been my lifelong career.”
Come join us September 23. There will be a cash bar and passed hors d’oeuvres between 6:30-7:00PM. The program will begin promptly @ 7:00PM and will conclude around 8:00PM.
