Big Sandy Community & Technical College (BSCTC) recently hosted Student Orientation on their Prestonsburg, Pikeville and Mayo Campuses to ready students before their first day of classes.
“We wanted to have an event to welcome our new students and give them helpful information and also to answer any questions they may have to make their transition into college a little easier.”
said Tina Terry, Coordinator of Student Activities and Recruitment.
During New Student Orientation, students received helpful information about Scholarships, Financial Aid, Disability services, as well as a session held for parents to answer any questions they may have.
“I am majoring in Criminal Justice at BSCTC because I want to help people but before I go to the Army I want to get an early start on college. The orientation really helped me open up and answered a lot of my questions.” said Byron Johnson, a Big Sandy freshman from Johnson County.
Staff and Faculty took students on tours of their respective campuses, they were able to get their student IDs, and were able to meet with several community service partners, who also provide assistance.
“I felt overwhelmed before this event” said Emily Daniels, “I am so glad they had this event, it answered all my questions and I enjoyed it.”
Classes begin August 14, and Big Sandy Community & Technical College is currently enrolling new students for the Fall 2017 semester. For more information call (606)886-3863 or visit one of our convenient campus locations.
