It was great to see how the aviation industry is taking flight in NC, including what @ForsythTechCC is doing to prepare students for new jobs coming to our state!

When we invest in our community colleges, we’re building a stronger workforce and economy.

This week at Forsyth Tech, we celebrated two powerful TRIO milestones: our Student Support Services Recognition Ceremony and our Upward Bound Graduation.

These students are proof that when we invest in potential, we change lives. 🎓

"TRIO Upward Bound has helped me with many things. They have let me obtain opportunities that I wouldn't have normally . . . They gave me another reason to make it through the school year . . . They've let us do activities that help other people and give us a sense of accomplishment as it makes us feel we changed a few people's days. It's a great program that changed my high school days and possibly future, I highly recommend any student join TRIO Upward Bound." Kevin Hernandez-Chales

"TRIO Upward Bound . . . provided tutoring that has helped me get schoolwork done as well as prepare me for big tests like ACT. I love being a part of this program and I hope that it keeps going because TRIO Upward Bound is an amazing program." MacKenzie Potter

[Dr. Janet N. Spriggs @ForsythTechPrez]

2 But here’s the truth:
Federal funding for TRIO, Federal Work-Study, SEOG, and CCAMPIS is on the chopping block.
These aren’t just budget lines. They’re campus jobs, childcare for student-parents, and college access for students like me.

What a great start to @SXSWEDU 2025!

I loved hearing Anne-Laure Le Cunff’s keynote this morning and was thrilled to get one of the copies of her book, Tiny Experiments: How to Live Freely in a Goal-Obsessed World!

Then what a bonus - I grabbed Vanessa Van Edward’s book, Cues: Small Signals, Incredible Impact!
