The group of teachers and guidance counselor spent three weeks learning more about programs and services available at STC, and they are now better prepared to advise their students on what type of resources and support that the college offers. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/aug/leadership.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4CV8KI6VFO9 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:28:00 -0500 Welders, plumbers, electricians and air conditioning technicians are integral to infrastructure development, and as more and more baby-boomers begin to retire, fewer young workers are stepping in to take their places. South Texas College is hoping to give these professions a new spark with certificates in Welding Technology, Plumber Assistant, Electrician Assistant, and in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC-R) that aim to increase the number of qualified personnel in the Rio Grande Valley and beyond. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/aug/new_cert.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4CV8KIU8FO9 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:27:00 -0500 Rosa Angelica Sanchez hopes to travel the world one day, but this is not the only dream that the Mission native wishes to fulfill in her lifetime. As the first person in her family to go to college, she plans to earn her associate’s degree from South Texas College and transfer to a four year university to pursue a career in international business. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/aug/Angelica_Sanchez.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B7YV8KIU8FO9 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:26:00 -0500 Still haven’t registered for the fall 2008 semester? Don’t worry! South Texas College’s Pecan Campus located in McAllen, Mid-Valley Campus in Weslaco and Starr County Campus in Rio Grande City will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 31st to help students register for the fall 2008 semester. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/july/open_late.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4CV8KI6VIU9 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:21:00 -0500 In addition to South Texas College’s all online degrees in Business Administration, Criminal Justice and Social Science, the college is now offering students the opportunity to earn associate degrees online in Education and Interdisciplinary Studies.

Not only was she valedictorian of her graduating class, but she also made history when she graduated from South Texas College’s Dual Enrollment Engineering Academy (DEEA) before she even got out of high school. Vasquez, who was the only one to finish the DEEA program with a 4.0 average, received her associate’s degree in engineering after taking classes at both Donna High School and STC, and this helped her cut the duration of her college career in half. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/july/deann_vasquez.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4CE3KI74IU9 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:19:00 -0500 To Amanda Alejos, every day at work is a fulfilling learning experience that prepares her for her future career. As a work study in the Art Department at South Texas College, Alejos provides office assistance and helps students with their assignments. In doing so, she tries to inspire them to continue expressing themselves through their artwork. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/july/alejos.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4CE4IP74IU9 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:18:00 -0500 As fall approaches, so does a new school year. For many kids it’s a fresh start with new school supplies and clothes, but for thousands of children in the Rio Grande Valley, the new school year won’t start off quite so bright. They simply don’t have clothes that fit or their clothes are too worn to wear. But South Texas College’s Culinary Arts Department is cooking up a plan with Renee’s of Sharyland and the Shareable Wearables Program of Buckner Children’s Home to collect donations to buy needy Valley children new back-to-school clothes. http://admin.southtexascollege.edu/pr/news/2008/july/share_wear.html 9965ACD1-3083-4244-4I07-B4ON4IP74IU9 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 14:17:00 -0500
