The National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) Americus chapter of South Georgia Technical College conducted a Trash Pick-Up on the Americus campus recently as a service project to help give back to the Americus campus.
The service project was designed to help create an even cleaner space for the upcoming move in day for Fall Semester when incoming freshman and returning sophomores and their families will be entering or returning to the campus for Fall Semester which gets underway August 17th.
Matthew Cowan, SGTC Biology Instructor, is the NTHS advisor for SGTC on the Americus campus and Karina Santos-Page, Greg Hester and Katelyn Thorpe were the NTHS students who volunteered to help with the project. Greg Hester is currently in pursuit of completing his education in Automotive Service Small Engines while both Karina Santos-Pagan and Katelyn Thorpe are pursing education in the Early Childhood Education programs.
Each of these three students are expected to return Fall Semester and to continue NTHS work and further the ideals of service to their campus and local communities.
