The Human Services Technology (HST) and Substance Abuse Treatment (SAT) programs are all about empowering Southwestern Community College students to help clients change their lives.
Very often, the students’ lives get changed along the way.
That was certainly the case for this year’s graduates, who were honored in a pinning ceremony on May 6 at SCC’s Jackson Campus. Honorees include Trevor Gates of Webster, Dolores Taylor of Cherokee and Candice Waldroup of Whittier.
“Everyone has a journey that they are on,” said Lori Clancy, who coordinates both the HST and SAT programs. “At SCC, we are privileged to walk this part of our students’ journeys and watch them take their next steps to changing the world around us for the better."
Gates and Taylor each earned dual associate degrees in HST and SAT while Waldroup completed her HST degree.
Graduates are eligible to begin work immediately at a wide variety of agencies throughout the area. They may also elect to further their education at a four-year university.
