SCC's human services technology program graduates were honored in a recent ceremony at the Jackson Campus.

Five graduating students in Southwestern Community College’s human services technology program were honored on May 3 with a pinning ceremony at the Jackson Campus.

The graduates were presented pins by program coordinator Sarah Altman and clinical coordinator Lori Clancy, and each received a stone as a reminder of how Altman emphasizes stepping stones to exemplify personal and professional growth.

The honorees were Hannah Cantrell of Rosman, Kim Crawford of Otto, Carly Michael of Bryson City, Regina Pangle of Franklin and Elvin Peace of Sylva.

The human services technology program prepares students for entry level positions with agencies that provide social, community and educational services.

Graduates can go on to pursue bachelor’s degrees in the field and ultimately work as counselors and therapists.

SCC’s program also has a concentration in substance abuse treatment, which prepares students to assist in addiction counseling. The substance abuse treatment degree prepares students to become Credentialed Substance Abuse Counselor – Interns with the N.C. Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board.
