South Carolina Technical College Week

The “I Defy” campaign is redefining how the world thinks about technical education
by celebrating the power of South Carolina technical colleges and spotlighting the
spirit of students defying traditions, norms, and expectations through a technical
education.

“As we celebrate South Carolina Technical College Week, I am reminded of what has
made HGTC the first choice for a college education. It is my hope that our students,
alumni, faculty, and staff will get involved and show pride in HGTC throughout the
week,” said Dr. Marilyn Murphy Fore, HGTC President.

Each day throughout the week, HGTC students, alumni, faculty, and staff are invited
to participate in a different theme by sharing their stories, celebrating their accomplishments
and more. By participating in the theme each day, sharing experiences, and using the
hashtags #IDefySC and #SCTechWeek, participants will be entered to win over $5,000
in prizes and giveaways.

“With more than 160,000 students at 16 colleges – and a job placement rate of 91%
– South Carolina’s Technical Colleges have a lot to celebrate. This year, we want
our voices of celebration to ring loud and clear throughout the entire state,” continued
President Fore.
