Celebrate our Pillars of Palmer: See the New Portriat Gallery
You can see our new portrait gallery honoring our Pillars of Palmer - faculty, staff, and community members who have contributed to the college and to the community. You can see the physical exhibit by visiting our Library Commons on the Palmer Campus, and you can also read about it in our online exhibit.
Honoring the Past: Gerald Mackey
We here at Trident
Technical College seek to honor the past, for knowing where you come from helps
you get where you’re going. Gerald Mackey embodies the history of these
buildings we move through today. He started his career teaching African
American students in the segregated CA Brown High School that created this
campus. When Trident Technical College bought the building for its downtown
campus, he eventually ended up running it. The TTC downtown Palmer Campus grew
under his leadership.
Preserving for the Future:
Dr. Susan Millar Williams and Mary Edwards
We here at Trident
Technical College also work to preserve the past and the present for the
future. We see ourselves as stewards of the land, the buildings, and the
memories of the people who move through them. Our next two honorees serve as our
most prominent recorders of the history of this campus and the community around
it.
Dr. Susan Williams reads, writes,
and talks about our local history, making what has been invisible, visible. She
has published numerous books and articles, worked on documentaries, and given
lectures on local history. She charts the landscape of memory, and encourages
others to do the same.
Mary Edwards lives in
the Eastside, and knows it like few others. She was also a graduate of CA Brown
High School. She brought that knowledge with her to Trident Technical College,
enriching the development of Eastside Day and other community projects. She
gives voice to her community within the walls of the academy, representing and
honoring those who came before her, and paving the way for those who will
follow.
Connecting the Community: The Presidents, former and present,
of the Eastside Community Development Corporation
If you want something
done in the Eastside, you need to talk to the Eastside Community Development
Corporation. We at Trident Technical College strive to be a part of the
community we serve, and our strongest partner has been the Eastside Community
Development Corporation. They came in
our gates, and got us outside those gates. They help us make the gates
irrelevant. These presidents serve their community, creating programs,
organizing events, supporting businesses, and fostering education. We honor the
work this organization has done, and the people who helped make it happen.

It also allows us to celebrate the work of our faculty, staff, and students in doing research, sharing community resources, and educating the public about the importance of the Eastside community. And it helps to demonstrate Trident Technical College's commitment to the community it serves.
