Tour
de Tech comes to Trident Tech this Friday
S.C.
Technical College System President Tim Hardee is cycling around the state on a
two-week fundraising adventure called Tour
de Tech. An avid
cyclist, Dr. Hardee is using the ride to raise money for student scholarships
and raise awareness of the technical college system throughout the state.
Through sponsorships, he hopes to raise $160,000 and provide $10,000 in
scholarship support to each technical college.
Dr. Hardee will make stops at each of
the state’s 16 technical colleges. He started his 800-mile trek at York Tech on
Sept. 27. His journey will end at Horry-Georgetown Tech on Oct. 12. Dr. Hardee
will stop at Trident Tech on Friday, Oct. 5, at 4 p.m. Employees and students
are invited to cheer him on by gathering in front of Building 920 at TTC-North Charleston (Thornley Campus) just before 4
p.m. Dr. Hardee will ride on to campus and through finish-line tape, then make
brief remarks about his motivation for the ride.
The state
technical college system office is documenting Dr. Hardee’s trip on Instagram.
