President Flora Tydings accepts the challenge gift of $100,000 from Leon and Vickie Farmer. This gift will be used to challenge the community to match $100,000 pledged by Mr. And Mrs. Farmer for the proposed Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Facility (Athens Campus).

The Frances Wood Wilson Foundation has made a Lead Gifts investment in the Legacy Starts Now capital campaign. Mr. Terry Wingfield, President of the Frances Wood Wilson Foundation, presented a check to the Athens Tech Foundation Inc. during their meeting on Monday, January 14, 2008. The $100,000 donation will be utilized to purchase a new ambulance to be used by the college's new Paramedic Technology and Emergency Medical Technician programs. The use of an ambulance will allow students to learn essential skills in a real-world setting, in turn, making the students ready to directly enter the work force as well-trained paramedics.

Athens Technical College's graduation ceremony will be held Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at the Classic Center in downtown Athens. This year marks Athens Technical College's 50th anniversary. In honor of this special occasion, graduates will be wearing a special edition tassel and signet for the ceremony. Also, associate degree graduates will wear an associate degree hood along with the cap and gown.

Tickets
We have a large number of graduates this year, so tickets will be required for your friends and family who wish to attend the ceremony. Each graduate can receive up to five tickets for the Classic Center Theatre and up to five additional tickets for the overflow room at the Classic Center where attendees will view the ceremony on a big screen via closed-circuit television.

Tickets will be available in the Office of Registration and Records on the Athens campus (building H) from May 12, to May 23, and must be picked up in person. There is no charge for the tickets; however, you will be required to sign for your tickets and show identification. Tickets will not be mailed, and we cannot accept faxed ticket requests. If you desire more than five Theatre tickets or five overflow tickets, you will have an opportunity to add your name to the extra ticket waiting list. Once all graduates have picked up their tickets, the Office of Registration and Records will contact you by phone and give you information about picking up additional tickets if any are available. We cannot guarantee extra tickets to anyone.

Attire
Caps and gowns can be purchased on the Athens campus in the bookstore beginning May 12. Students receiving associate's degrees are required to wear the associate degree hood in addition to the cap and gown. The cost for associate degree graduation attire is $52.34 plus tax. Students receiving diplomas are required to wear cap and gown. The cost for diploma graduation attire is $32.17 plus tax. Extra caps and black tassels will also be available for purchase at that time. Please note you will receive a special edition tassel to wear for the ceremony and keep as a memento when you pick up your tickets.
