Congratulations to our recent Christanna Campus Practical Nursing Graduates! Amani Pearson, of Valentines, VA, pictured right with Patricia Archer was awarded the Patricia Archer Practical Nursing Award during the recent nurse pinning ceremony.
This award, which provides monetary assistance for fees associated with and required for licensure exams, was established by Mrs. Archer, a long-time nurse and educator who for many years was a vital part of SVCC's Practical Nursing and Nurse Aide programs. The recipient, selected by members of the Practical Nursing faculty, demonstrates dedication to the profession, exhibits a professional attitude and shows initiative in all aspects of the program.

SEC Donates to Support
SVCC's Career Coach Program
| |
Pictured: Jamie Jones, Executive Director of the SVCC Foundation receives a donation from Joy Stump, Community Relations Coordinator at Southside Electric Cooperative to support SVCC's Career Coach Program. | |
|
Career coaches are a network of community college employees who are based in high schools across Southside Virginia. They help high school students define their career aspirations and to recognize community college and other postsecondary programs, including apprenticeships and workforce training that can help students achieve their educational and financial goals. In this program there is a career coach in every high school throughout SVCC's ten county service area.
SVCC is very thankful for partners like Southside Electric Cooperative (SEC) and others as the Career Coach Program that helps so many young people find their career path would not exist without private donations and funding from the Virginia Foundation for Community College Education (VFCCE).
Through the VFCCE Rural Virginia Horseshoe Initiative every donation is matched, so SEC's donation was doubled! If you would like to support this program, please reach out to Jamie Jones, (434) 917-1604 or jamie.jones@southside.edu .
