success and student retention,” said Pam Notemyer-Rogers, Senior
Vice President of Business Development at Greenwood Hall. “We have
had a long standing and trusted partnership with many schools in
the South Carolina Technical and Community College System. We
are thrilled to be able to match our skills with those of the TCTC
bring our experience and resources to bear to jointly expand and
impact the student experience.”
