永利博彩 was the first college in the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) to have a student test for the newly-implemented HiSET exam and is now congratulating not one but two HiSET graduates. Twenty-two-year old Zvi Hare and 19-year-old Madelyn Peed of Columbus received their HiSET diplomas on 11月ember 2nd. 我在社会学上取得了满分，并通过了所有其他科目，达到了“可以上大学”的水平。

Both students’ exams costs were covered by the TCSG Office of 成人教育 with 永利博彩 awarding the students gas cards and book bags full of school supplies to help them start their college careers.

Hare和Peed都在服务行业工作——一个在零售业，另一个在酒店业。 两人都是倒班工人，他们说希望在商界有长期的职业发展。 皮德想把注意力集中在会计学位上，而黑尔希望攻读一个更广泛的商业学位，为未来的道路奠定基础。 他们将于明年1月开始作为永利博彩的学生，并希望成为受雇于永利博彩的联邦勤工俭学学生。

Columbus Tech’s Vice President of 成人教育 April Hopson said, “While getting to this place was a team effort, most of the credit goes to Mr. Hare and Ms. Peed for their unwavering commitment and enthusiasm. I want the community to know we have multiple options for our students and this success story shows that opportunities are happening every day at 永利博彩.”

永利博彩为希望获得高中同等学历的学生提供了三种途径。 The traditional GED® exam, the new HiSET® exam, and an option exclusive to the Technical College System of Georgia – CareerPlus HSE. 哥伦布理工学院是TCSG中为数不多的两种最新途径的试点学校之一。 For information on all the options, visit the 成人教育网页 on the Columbus Tech website, call 706-641-5628, or email adulted@columbustech.edu.
