We focus a lot on career goals at South College. We pride ourselves on providing educational opportunities in fields with job opportunities. We are constantly on the lookout for new career growth areas to help our students succeed. But there are students that come to South College with even higher goals.
Last week we began demolition inside the former Goody’s corporate headquarters on Parkside Drive, to convert the office space into our new Parkside Centre Learning Site. We will occupy approximately 85,000 square feet in the property’s “west wing,” which includes a 200-seat auditorium. 
When we built our signature building on Lonas Drive, it was such an increase in space I thought it would give us plenty of room to grow. Only four years later, we have filled that building and have been holding additional classes at a second location on Hayfield Road in West Knoxville.
Twenty years may be a long time, but it has gone by in the blink of an eye. 
We received some great news for the future of South College this week – news that will benefit students for years to come. 
Dec. 19, 2009, is a banner day at South College.
As we reflect on our blessings in this season of giving thanks, many children and families right here in East Tennessee are not so fortunate. No child ever chooses to live in poverty, and no parent wants to be unable to provide a gift or toy for their child at Christmas time.
Technology is everywhere. Whether it is Facebook, Skype, Twitter, or a blog like this one, we are now able to communicate in so many ways. And now Moodle is making the transfer of information at South College even easier.
