The Technical College of the Lowcountry honored 47 health sciences graduates at its Aug. 4 pinning ceremonies.

“We are so proud of these graduates for their perseverance and commitment to excellence,” Health Sciences Dean Dr. Glenn Levicki said. “TCL’s health sciences programs are rigorous but produce extremely qualified and successful graduates, giving them the confidence they need to walk proudly into the field.”

Students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive intense additional hands-on practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. Many students go right to work in the Lowcountry. Visit www.tcl.edu/health for more information.
