Get low cost dental care on the North Charleston Thornley Campus

by Dosha Wynn

Trident Technical College’s Dental Clinic is taking appointments for Dental Services for the Fall Semesters thru December 11, 2018. These services are offered to the Public, TTC Faculty, and TTC Students at a huge discounted price compared the same services offered from an outside dentist.

I have utilized our Dental Clinic for my cleanings for years. The discounted price allows me to afford to maintain my recommended dental cleanings every 6 months. You will also receive Topical Fluoride Treatment included with the cleanings. The cleaning service is only $25.00. The clinic also offers Full Mouth, Panorex, and Bite Wing Radiographs (X-rays) for only $30.00 each. My experience with the Dental Clinic Services has always been positive. The students and instructors are always professional and pleasant. They really do go over and above!

Call today 843-574-6465 to support the Dental Students and receive recommended oral health care at a fraction of the price. They are located on the Main Campus, Building 630, Room 106. Services are offered Mondays & Wednesday – 3-7 PM and Tuesdays all day.

Tour de Tech comes to Trident Tech this Friday

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. To see photos and videos of the ride to date, click here.

Culinary Institute of Charleston Students Volunteered to Work on the “Oyster Recovery Team”

Culinary Institute of Charleston students volunteered to work on the “oyster recovery team” at the 35^th Lowcountry Oyster Festival  Jan. 28, helping collect close to 80,000 pounds of oyster shells. The shells will be recycled into local creeks where they will create new sustainable fish habitats.

The Coastal Conservation Association South Carolina has organized a group of volunteers to collect and recycle shells since 2008. Over the 10 years that CCA SC has participated, more than half a million pounds of shells, about 10,755 bushels, have been collected at this one event. In that same time frame, CCA SC has invested more than $80,000 in equipment and donated it to S.C. Department of Natural Resources to establish and maintain a fleet of tools and vehicles specifically for oyster recycling and deployment.

Admissions Officer Gregory Cushing hosted an Angel Tree leading up to the Holiday Break during which our campus community donated the food that is currently on the shelves. If you missed out on that opportunity but would still like to donate, you can bring donations to the Admissions Office and put them in the big green can. 

Want to help further? Volunteers are needed to stock and staff the PTK Grocery Vault 2-Downtown. Orientation for volunteers is January 25th, 2-4 pm in Palmer room 107. Dr. Mary Ann Kholi and the Clemente Coalition will be joining PTK in staffing and supporting the new Grocery Vault 2-Downtown.   

Thanks to Admissions Officer Gregory Cushing for all his hard work getting this project off the ground, and Facilities Officer Pete Burbage for installing the shelving and making the space ready. And to PTK and the Clemente Coalition for sponsoring such an important new service to our campus community.

Eastside Produce Stand Open on Saturdays in Hamstead Square

You can now buy fresh produce from local farmers on Hampstead Square on Saturdays from 3:00 until dark. The Post and Courier reported that the city of Charleston opened "Eastside Produce @ Hampstead Square" on Saturdays so that many downtown residents can again have easy access to groceries within walking distance. Many in the peninsular neighborhood were left without a grocery store after Bi-Lo's sudden closure earlier this month."

Help a TTC International Student from Haiti Get Home to Help Her Family

By Nadine Alexandre

Hurricane Matthew hit my home country of Haiti last week. My name is Nadine Alexandre, and I am a Haitian international student based in Charleston, SC, and attending Trident Technical College with the goal of becoming a nurse. My immediate family was deeply affected by the Hurricane. I lost many of my family members, such as my aunt, uncle, and cousins. My grandparents’ house was completely destroyed. My grandfather was trapped under house debris for 3 days. He has since been found, but he is currently in critical condition. I am very concerned and worried about my family and their well-being.  I wish to travel home to give my assistance to them. Please find it in your heart to donate anything that you can to help me get home quickly as possible. I would love to be in travel by  this Saturday, Oct. 15. You can donate at my GoFundMe page or you can see me in the afternoons at the Academic Hub (Palmer 102) where I am a work-study. Thank you for your help!
