Vision & Mission Vision: We envision Aiken Technical College as a catalyst for developing educated, engaged and employable individuals whose collective energy will be the driving force for prosperity and the quality of life in our diverse communities. Mission: Aiken Technical College is a public, open-door, two-year, comprehensive institution of higher education established to provide citizens of greater Aiken County opportunities for educational, economic, professional, civic and personal development. Through its focus on teaching and learning, the college supports economic growth and community development by educating and training students for entry into the workforce or for further higher education. History of Aiken Technical College Classes for what is now Aiken Technical College began in temporary facilities in Aiken in the fall of 1972. One hundred and seventy-seven students enrolled in the first class of what was then the Aiken Technical Education Center. The current campus opened in the winter of 1973. The original ATC campus consisted of three buildings constructed at a cost of $2.3 million — $800,000 provided by Aiken County and the remainder from federal education grants. Founding President Ashley J. Little led ATC from its beginning as a vocationally based training center to its accreditation as a two-year technical college in 1975. The college’s name was changed to Aiken Technical http://www.atc.edu/Catalog/current/c0.aspx[5/4/2015 9:42:26 AM] ATC Catalog - About ATC College in 1977. President Little also presided over the campus’ second phase expansion, a $3.5 million addition of buildings, classrooms, laboratories and a greatly expanded library. President Little served ATC and the South Carolina Technical College system for 14 years before his retirement in 1984. Dr. Paul L. Blowers became the second president of ATC in July 1984. During the decade that Dr. Blowers presided over the campus, ATC grew from 1,104 academic and continuing education students to more than 3,300 students. ATC also increased its course offerings, added two college transfer degrees and built a $3 million Student Activities Center financed by student fees. Dr. Blowers retired in 1994. Dr. Kathleen A. Noble became the third president of ATC in June 1994. During her tenure, ATC added many allied health, business, and industrial management and safety courses and programs to its curriculum. The college also developed new partnerships that allowed ATC to provide around-the- clock training and educational services on plant sites. Dr. Noble was a major force in matching college services with areas of the community that might best take advantage of them. The college also broke ground on the $5.375 million, 40,000-square-foot Dale Phelon Information Technology Center during her tenure. Dr. Noble left ATC in 1999. Dr. Susan A. Winsor became ATC’s fourth and current president in September 1999. She oversaw the construction of the Dale Phelon Information Technology Center that opened for classes in the fall of 2000. She also oversaw the construction of the $3 million, 30,000-square-foot CSRA Manufacturing and Technology Training Center that came online in the summer of 2001. When classes began in the fall of 2003, students and faculty welcomed the opening of the campus’ latest addition under her leadership, a $7.6 million, 52,671-square-foot Health and Science Building. Aiken Technical College dedicated its student commons in honor of Senator Tommy L. Moore in the spring of 2004, in recognition of his efforts to ensure that the Health and Science Building remained in the 1999 bond bill and that the Dale Phelon Information Technology Center remained in the 1997 bond bill. The 700 Building came back online in January 2005 after extensive and complete renovation, and now provides students with an Academic Success Center and a testing center, as well as a revitalized campus amphitheater, which is often used for community meetings and events. Renovations to freshen classrooms and offices in the Ashley J. Little Administration Building began in 2006 and were completed in 2008. In the summer of 2012, ATC began renovations on a $1.5 million 6,090-square-foot Enrollment Services Center in the Ashley J. Little Administration Building. The center, which combined the college's Admissions and Records, Financial Aid and Advising departments into one convenient location, came online in early 2013. http://www.atc.edu/Catalog/current/c0.aspx[5/4/2015 9:42:26 AM] ATC Catalog - About ATC More than four decades after its founding, ATC has grown into a multi-service, two-year comprehensive college offering numerous educational opportunities in university transfer, health, public service, business, industrial technology, engineering technology, nuclear technology and computer technology programs.

  • District Announces First-Ever Call Me Mister Program Cohort; Students to Attend Aiken Tech and Usc Aiken
    Merry Glenne Piccolino Director of Communications 803.641.2639 • [email protected] Mike Rosier Communications Coordinator COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT 803.641.2475 • [email protected] For Immediate Release DISTRICT ANNOUNCES FIRST-EVER CALL ME MISTER PROGRAM COHORT; STUDENTS TO ATTEND AIKEN TECH AND USC AIKEN The Aiken County Public School District, in partnership with Aiken Technical College, The University of South Carolina Aiken and Clemson University, is pleased to announce the five members of the school district’s first-ever Call Me MISTER cohort of students. The Call Me MISTER program is based at Clemson University and primarily recruits and prepares African American male students for teaching at the elementary or middle school level, where there remains a tremendous need for African American male teachers. Despite student data from the S.C. Department of Education (2018-19) showing over 33% or 257,409 of the state’s 777,035 students are African American, data from the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement (CERRA) shows that just 3% percent or 1,461 of South Carolina’s 50,863 teachers are African American males. That percentage is even lower in Aiken County, as CERRA data shows only 2% or 36 of the District’s 1,526 teachers are African American males. In Aiken County elementary schools, the percentage drops again – to just 1% as eight of the school district’s 789 elementary school teachers are African American males. “The data we have is quite clear in this regard, recruiting African American males to the teaching profession remains an area of critical need, not only for our school district, but across our entire state,” commented Aiken County Superintendent Dr.
