Student Club Members Invited to Fall Student Leadership Development Conference
FALL
STUDENT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
Central
Carolina Technical College, Sumter, SC
Friday,
October 21, 2016
This year, the 16 S.C. Technical Colleges are planning a Fall Student Leadership Development Conference at Central Carolina Technical College in Sumter, SC. This conference is designed to assist students in developing leadership skills and networking with other student leaders across the state. We would like to take a group of students from Trident; therefore, we are extending an invitation to each student organization who would like to send an officer or a potential officer. We would like to take five TTC students, so I urge student club leaders to start announcing this opportunity to your members.
Please
note that this conference falls during the first week of Fall 2. We will be leaving early that morning and
returning before 6 p.m. Registration, continental
breakfast, lunch, and transportation costs will be paid by the College. The conference theme is “Emerging
Leaders: Engage, Empower, Excel” and will
feature sessions focused on developing leadership skills. Don’t
let your organization miss out on this learning experience.
If you
have any questions, contact Ann Welty, Student Activities Director, at 843.574.6100

The beautiful
Art Deco-style building that is now the St. Julian Devine Community Center was
built as the city incinerator in the midst of the Great Depression. This
photograph appeared in the 1936 Charleston City Yearbook. Charleston was proud
of having moved forward to what was then believed to be a clean, modern,
efficient form of garbage disposal.
Note that East
Bay Street ended just north of the building. The large earth berms that are
still visible on that side of the building were constructed to support a long
ramp that led up to bays where trash was dumped into the burners. The ramp
necessitated another change: the mules that had once hauled garbage carts were
replaced by gasoline-powered trucks. At the time this picture was taken, there
was only one smokestack.
The incinerator never
performed as well as city officials had hoped. It produced polluting smoke, and
when large quantities of damp material came in, like melon rinds or large dead
animals, the fires tended to go out. By 1955 the city had moved on to other
means of trash disposal.
