Trident Technical College is the stepping stone to the next phase in your life and your future.  TTC inspires critical thinking and communication skills which is absolutely necessary in everything you  do in your future endeavors.  The professors, teachers, administrators and staff - each person on the campus is truly prepared to help.  They listen, they have answers, and they have positive direction.

Trident Technical College accelerates the economy by graduating well-prepared students to enter their chosen career path.  These graduates will optimize the companies they enter and bring themselves and company success.  In return, graduates will add profit to the economy by their output in their profession.  This profit draws more capital investment to produce more.  Income is high, consumer demand is high and capital investment goes up, making a happy economy.

I personally will accelerate the economy by opening my new business in the local area, a three part cooperative, and by giving back to my community.  I will utilize all the knowledge I have learned at Trident Technical College and the local Center 4 Women, and put it to work in my business practice and community outreach.  I plan to have a beehive living structure with retail area with products of organic and climate friendly origin.  There will be a community section for holistic classes, spa services and conference areas with living walls: beehive living units built from organic materials and made for a healthy living lifestyle. The beehive will contain organic gardens to support the café, which will serve organic fare and offer cooking classes. My beehive is a holistic teaching facility for organic living.  I will have a high-demand product which will bring high profit, which will bring more capital investors and expand into other states.  This environment will bring together our local artisans and holistic teachers who can offer a new way of interconnected living.

Trident Technical College inspires the future by constantly evolving, staying grounded in the student population, being immersed in the community and standing for equality.  Trident Technical College is an inspiration to the individuals who walk through these doors every day.  They feel passionately about education and have the opportunity to share that gift.  They work tirelessly to offer it to every individual who wants it.  They believe in you and the opportunity for you to grow and to succeed.

I will inspire future generations with my ideas which will benefit the environment and every person it touches.  I will move forward and create and inspire others just as my professors and teachers have done for me.

New Laptop is a Game-Changer

When life throws you one challenge after another, you start to appreciate the small wins.  For Trident Tech student Kristi Salvo, receiving a new laptop through the Student Urgent Needs (SUN) fund was a game-changer.  Like students across the country, Salvo’s in-person classes were abruptly switched to an online format this spring due to COVID-19. But she knew her older computer couldn’t keep up with the online demands and she couldn't afford to buy a new one. “I was already dealing with a lot and it felt like this was going to be the thing that would break me,” she said. Salvo, a veteran of the US Air Force, struggles with health issues, including a back injury and a severe autoimmune disorder. In March, she and her husband separated, leaving her to juggle the responsibility of being a student, while also being a teacher to their two young children. All this, while trying to stay healthy and safe during a global pandemic. After Salvo and her children moved into a smaller, mor...

What Matters Most

Kimiyonn Sadler Second Place 2021 Future Alumni Essay Contest Academic achievement has been on my agenda since the beginning, but life has a way of humbling us all. Being a high achiever is something that came naturally for me. I was determined to use my intelligence to accomplish remarkable things in life. I wanted to create an exceptional life for my family and I. I took the smart, straight, and narrow path of consistent straight A’s, several academic accolades, and plenty of college acceptances. I made plans for university straight out of high school like any other bright-eyed, bushy tailed 18-year old. Unfortunately, the pressures were too much for me to thrive properly. Finances were short. Navigating university as a first-generation student with no guidance was not an easy feat. A stable support system was non-existent. Often, I struggled to adapt to the unfamiliar environment and felt out of place. My mental health declined, making my college experience sufferable and too much t...
