Spring Take-Off Event planned at South Georgia Tech on April 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the James S. Peters gymnasium. The public is invited to attend.

South Georgia Technical College will be hosting its Spring Take-off Open House in the James S. Peters Gymnasium on the Americus campus, Friday, April 12, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. SGTC President Dr. John Watford has waived the $25 application fee for individuals who apply to SGTC April 12 – 19.

Everyone is invited to attend this free event and meet instructors, staff and students to learn more about the over 200 programs of study available at South Georgia Tech. Campus tours will be available. Free lunch and SGTC giveaways will also be provided. Information about financial aid, student clubs and organizations and on-campus housing also will be available.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for individuals to see the campus and learn more about the programs offered in our community,” said South Georgia Technical College President Dr. John Watford. “We have had a great response from area high schools and the local community and I hope everyone will make plans to stop by. Individuals who have been thinking about changing careers or learning new skills can determine how South Georgia Tech can help them achieve their goals.”

The purpose of the Spring Take-Off is to highlight each of South Georgia Technical College’s program areas, and inform prospective students of educational, financial aid opportunities, career placement, clubs and organizations, and the other services SGTC offers. All South Georgia Technical College faculty and staff will be on hand to help with the event and answer questions.

Instructors from each program area are creating booths with information about their programs and will be on hand to talk one-on-one with prospective students and their families about SGTC’s programs of study. Tours of the campus will also be given upon request. SGTC will display its Motorsports race car, commercial truck driving big rigs, Caterpillar and John Deere equipment, Law Enforcement Academy vehicles and the college’s STEM trailer in front of the gymnasium.

Hot dogs, chips and sodas will be provided to those who participate. A free application code of APRIL24 will be valid from April 12 – 19 for everyone who applies to attend SGTC summer or fall semester. There will be opportunities to win door prizes as well as SGTC Foundation Scholarships.

A committee consisting of individuals from each of the major departments at South Georgia Technical College helped planned the event.
