While their shirts may be black and white, their decisions are anything but. Officiating a sporting event comes with great enjoyment and satisfaction but also intense challenge and heavy criticism. For those willing to test their mettle, ����ʦapp’s Continuing Education and Economic Development Division this summer is offering three monthlong courses in sports officiating. Successful completion will be rewarded with certification to officiate youth sports. 

At ����ʦapp’s recent spring commencement exercises, outstanding students were honored for academic achievement as County Award Winners. 

“I’ll bet that two out of three of you will be doing something different within 10 years, something you had not planned on doing,” retired Capsugel executive Ron Millender told some 415 new ����ʦapp (PTC) graduates at their commencement exercises on May 4, 2023. “Being in the right place at the right time is important, but being prepared is critical. … My whole career has been about being ready for that next opportunity.”

Faculty members at ����ʦapp (PTC) are known for their personal attention to student success. Recently, several of them campaigned to bring back PTC’s Honors Program, which was discontinued around 2015. Operating an honors program does require some financial investment by the college to pay for such things as tuition waivers, exclusive amenities and incentives, travel experiences, and more. However, PTC faculty were able to effectively persuade decision-makers to reinstate it for the greater benefit of students. 

Graduates of ����ʦapp's nursing programs were recognized recently at a spring semester pinning ceremony. 

Newberry College and ����ʦapp are partnering to streamline degree completion in the fields of early education and graphic design. The agreements were announced May 18 at a signing ceremony on the Newberry College campus. The partnership will enable Piedmont Tech graduates to transfer a greater number of credits to Newberry College, allowing them to complete their bachelor's degrees in as few as four semesters. These are often called “2+2” completion programs, in which students can earn their associate and bachelor's degrees each in two years.
 

����ʦapp (PTC) recently honored 17 employees who have reached service milestones with the state of South Carolina. In total, these individuals have logged a combined 270 years of service. 

During its April meeting, the Board of Directors of the ����ʦapp (PTC) Foundation installed two new members. Both are esteemed local healthcare executives. 

����ʦapp (PTC) recently honored the achievements of more than 30 conscientious student leaders at its Annual Student Awards and Recognition Program. 
The April 19 proceedings were broadcast live on PTC’s social media channels from the James C. Self Conference Center in Greenwood. 
 

The ����ʦapp Foundation recognized more than 200 scholarship benefactors and recipients at an awards luncheon recently in Greenwood. Enjoying a delicious and satisfying chicken-and-rice with vegetables meal followed by cheesecake, many students sat with their benefactors for conversation, inspiration, and keepsake photos.
