Why Choosing Technical College of the Lowcountry Is Kinda Genius 🎓
90 days in and we’re just getting started!
Since becoming TCL’s fourth president on July 1, Dr. Laurie Boeding has spent her first 90 days doing exactly what she said she would do: listen, learn, build relationships and get to know the students, faculty, staff, businesses, community leaders and partners who make the Lowcountry special.
She’s been in classrooms and labs, around tables with business and industry, meeting with elected and community leaders, visiting our campuses and communities - getting to know TCL and the people and places we serve.
There’s a new energy at Technical College of the Lowcountry, and a lot to look forward to.
Go Tides!
