Exciting changes are taking place at Southern West
Virginia Community and Technical College. We hope you will enjoy our new
website, providing you with the most updated information possible.
Southern is an institution where people from all walks of life can receive
a quality education, whether you are planning to attend college for the
first time, returning after many years, or need customized training for
your business or industry. Our goal is to make you successful!
Southern was founded as an open-door, comprehensive community and
technical college in 1971, and today is a part of the West Virginia
Community and Technical College System. The College is accredited through
the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools and has the most affordable tuition in the state.
Southern is dedicated to serving both traditional and non-traditional
students in the district it serves. It is a place where you are a person
and not an ID number, a place where you can work and get a degree too. We
realize each student is unique with different needs and goals, so we
provide a gateway for students to enhance their skills, explore new career
options or seek a degree or certificate. We also provide classes through
innovative delivery systems and agreements with four-year colleges and
universities to assist students in completing advanced degrees. We pride
ourselves on dedicated faculty and staff, with our faculty being some of
the best educators in their field.
In recent years, Southern has been expanding its reach with new programs
and facilities. In 2006, the College opened a new wing at the Lincoln
County Comprehensive High School in Hamlin, West Virginia, and in 2007
opened the Academy for Mine Training and Energy Technologies, a new
55-thousand square foot Allied Health and Technology Center, and a new
site at the Beckley Higher Education facility in Raleigh County. These
improvements have enabled the College to bring our students and the
community the latest technology and education close to home.
On September 7, 2007, Southern in cooperation with the Southern West
Virginia Community College Foundation, Incorporated launched its very
first Major Gifts Campaign. The Vision 2020 Major Gifts Campaign has a
purpose of achieving a multitude of long-range plans for the future of the
institution that will ensure the success of the region and its citizens.
The College has already received more than 70 percent of a five-year
seven-million dollar goal.
We hope you will plan to be a part of this wonderful institution, where we
can help you reach your goals, whatever they may be!
Sincerely,
Joanne Jaeger Tomblin
President
