Having worked for Southwestern Community College years ago, Susan Fouts is keenly aware of how SCC changes lives.
Now with Blue Ridge Premier Realty, Fouts and her colleagues Angie Hambling and Renee Corbin recently donated $1,000 to help Southwestern’s College & Career Readiness program give even more folks a fresh start in life.
“Increasing education attainment increases chances of owning a home,” Fouts said. “Literacy and high school diploma attainment are critical.”
SCC’s College & Career Readiness gets students ready for college classes and careers through High School Equivalency prep classes while also providing English Language Acquisition classes – and much more.
“We’re extremely grateful to the team at Blue Ridge Premier Realty for supporting our mission and our students,” said Devonne Jimison, SCC’s College & Career Readiness Director.
