Southeastern students gain edge on emerging technologies in showcase By MARK GILCHRIST Photographer

Southeastern Community College held a Technology Showcase Sept. 25 as a part of its Student Engagement Day series. The morning began with an introduction in the audi- torium, from where students – all on a day off from regular classes – fanned out to locations in and around the Cartrette Technology Center. Stopping at more than a dozen stations filled with exhib- its, demonstrations, classes and even a texting competition, students honed their technical edge, sharpened their study skills and gained insight on emerging technologies. SCC was the first community college in the state system with an agricultural biotechnology program. Dr. Karen Stirrett gives students a behind-the-scenes tour of how a forensic crime lab works last month during the SCC Technology Showcase, a part of the college’s Student Engagement Day series.
