Dual Enrollment & More Programs for High School Students

Academy Night a Success

On March 25, 2008, Columbus Technical College held its third Dual Enrollment Academy Night, in partnership with the Muscogee County School District. This event was held for Muscogee County high school juniors and their parents to teach them about the many benefits of Dual Enrollment. About 30 students from across the county were on hand. Several speakers, including the President of Columbus Technical College and current students, talked about getting a jump start on college through Dual Enrollment. Everyone was treated to refreshments and many in the audience received valuable door prizes. The grand prize was a brand new Wii gaming system!
