A Message From the President
I'm happy to announce that the Southeast Technical College Foundation successfully wrapped up the New Opportunities in Workforce Development (NOW) campaign at the end of 2021 and more than DOUBLED the initial campaign goal.
 
Read all about the details of that campaign here.
 
This is something to celebrate, and there will be a celebratory event this Friday morning (March 25) at 7:30 am in the HUB.
 
While we are gathered together, we are also going to discuss what is coming next.
 
Southeast Technical College has received three of the largest donations in school history and Gov. Kristi Noem, Mayor Paul Ten Haken and several industry leaders will be on-hand to to help us make a major announcement. Hope to see you there!
