SWCC is set to become one of twelve Virginia community colleges to participate in Great Expectations, a new program designed to support and provide resources for students who are now or have recently been affiliated with the foster care system.
“The college is excited to be a part of this much needed initiative,” said Dr. J. Mark Estepp, president of SWCC. “The opportunity to provide this program to these deserving students is extremely rewarding.”
Great Expectations will provide a variety of resources and support for these individuals.  The program will assist students with enrolling in classes, seeking financial aid, and career readiness.  Susan Lowe Hagy, Great Expectations campus coach, will also be working closely with these students to insure their academic success by utilizing resources already established on campus.  Learn more>>
