Albany Technical College to host Seventh Annual Informational Luncheon for Clergy on Thursday

March 7, 2012 - Albany Technical College will host the seventh annual workshop and luncheon for area clergy on Thursday, March 8, 2012, from 11:30a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Kirkland Conference Center. The theme for the luncheon is “Strengthening the Community ~ One Family at a Time.” The purpose of this event is to provide information to clergy in our community about educational choices at Albany Tech, financial aid options and employment opportunities available to graduates.

“We understand the important role ministers play in the lives of our students,” said Pamela Heglar, Executive Vice President and Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management. “It is these people who shape our students’ character and encourage them to take advantage of education and better their lives. With the help of our local clergy, we can strengthen the Southwest Georgia community – one family at a time.”

Guest speaker for the event will be Rev. Lawrence Knighton, Pastor of St. James Baptist Church in Baconton. In addition, several student testimonials will be presented by Albany Tech students and the Albany Tech Chorus will also perform.
