Thank you to the @Anatomage team for taking the time to travel to us, and seeing how our students are using the Anatomage Table.

Students have greatly benefited from the activities on the table and are becoming master users for program content and understanding.

If you hadn’t heard, military representatives from the @CONationalGuard and the @USMC visited our campus at the end of last semester and went through a @hotonesgameshow-style challenge, answering questions about the opportunities their organizations provide. It was a blast! 🔥🔥

Darcy Niblo is making a difference every day as a Master Auto Tech instructor at PTC.

“As an instructor, I look at Pickens pretty much as family. They’ve been behind me, the support I’ve gotten here has been unbelievable. Almost bring-a-tear-to-your-eye unbelievable."
