Moultrie Tech tops all-time enrollment figures

DONATE YOUR PONYTAIL - Hair donation is a sim
ple way to provide a child with Locks of love. If you have
a ponytail that is 10 inches or longer, you can donate hair
so a child who’s lost theirs can look more like them
selves. Your hair donations can be turned into natural
looking wigs for kids. Recently, the Robison cousins, age
5, decided to give their hair to a sick child. Pictured are
Madeline, with her mom, Patti and triplets Emma, Shea
and Tori. The girls are the children of Michael and Patti
Robison and Chris and Danielle Robison.
To the City voters of
Ashburn
My victory as City Councilman of
Ashburn on Nov. 4, 2008, couldn't
have been achieved without my
Heavenly Father, my earthly family
and you. Thank you, the voters of
Ashburn, I will serve you all.

As if exceeding the magical
mark of 2,000 students in its
fall 2006 quarter wasn’t reason
enough to celebrate, Moultrie
Technical College (MTC) out
shined that number in fall 2007
with another increase of 6.5
percent. Now the revelry car
ries on in fall 2008 with the
highest student enrollment in
the College’s 44-year history.
MTC has beaten its own
fall quarter 2007 all-time high
enrollment record by almost
100 students during the fall
2008 quarter with plans to add
at least 20 more Commercial
Truck Driving program stu
dents on its Tifton campus
mid-quarter.
MTC has an Ashburn cam
pus at the airport.
The growth from 2,166 stu
dents to 2,260 represents a 4.2
percent increase over the last
year at the College’s five cam
puses during fall quarter in its
service area of Colquitt, Tift,
Turner and Worth Counties and
in online studies in which stu
dents enroll and take courses
from anywhere in the world.
Moultrie Tech, as a unit of
the Technical College System
of Georgia, shares the spotlight
with 32 sister colleges, which
as a system has seen a 4.1 per-
cent enrollment growth
statewide this fall, according to
the system’s KMS Data Center
statistical reports. The system
also increased its credit hour
and full-time student equiva
lent (FTE) numbers by 4.9 per
cent each - state averages
which MTC surpassed this
quarter with 8.1 percent growth
in both areas.
However, MTC is alone at
the top as the only technical
college in the state to achieve
11 consecutive years of fall
quarter enrollment growth,
which also adds up to over a
100 percent increase since
1997. The additions and
expansions of campuses in
Tifton, Ashburn and Sylvester,
Relay for Life kickoff meeting
In a nation where more than
1,444,920 people will be diag
nosed with cancer this year, the
state of Georgia is invited to
celebrate life. Relay For Fife
Kick Off 2009 will be held at
the Thrasher House on
Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6 p.m.
Please R.S.V.P. to Melba
Brown at 567-9686.
Relay For Fife is a fun-
filled overnight event designed
to celebrate survivorship and
raise money for research and
programs of your American
Cancer Society. Teams of fami
ly members, friends, co-work
ers, and others join together
each year to raise funds for the
American Cancer Society and
make a difference in the com
munity.
From entertainment, food
and games to touching cere
monies and stories of inspira
tion, there is something for
everyone at Relay For Fife.
Every unique Relay For Fife is
truly a community event,
where new friends are made,
old friends are hugged and
hearts are touched by the magic
that is Relay. It is an event like
no other.
At every Relay For Fife
event, we celebrate the lives of
those who have battled cancer
through our Survivor's Fap and
survivor recognition. The
strength of survivors inspires
others to continue to fight. We
also remember loved ones lost
to the disease with our
Fuminaria Ceremony. At
Relay, people who have walked
alongside those battling cancer
can grieve and find healing.
Finally, we fight back against
cancer because everyone has
been touched by cancer.
Whether you have partici
pated in a Relay For Fife
before, or if you have never
attended a Relay and would
like to learn more about your
community event, please con
tact Melba Brown at 567-9686

the construction of the
College’s new main campus on
Veterans Parkway in Moultrie
in 2003, and the incentive of
convenient online classes and
dual enrollment options have
attributed to the unprecedented
growth since the College
opened on Industrial Drive in
Moultrie in 1964.
Dr. Tina Anderson,
Moultrie Tech president, said,
“The response from our four-
county service area to the qual
ity education that MTC pro
vides is the key to our growth.”
MTC Vice President of
Student Affairs Scott Hudson
added, “Our faculty and staff
are second to none in the state.
As budgets continue to tighten,
they are asked to do more with
much less. Each and every
person at MTC has risen to the
challenge, and I think this is
evident with our fall quarter
enrollment. We believe a
strong student-focused envi
ronment will continue to lead
our college in the right direc
tion.”
