Wiregrass Radiologic Technology graduate and 2021 GOAL Winner was the Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Fall 2021 Ceremony speaker.
Valdosta, GA - Wiregrass Georgia Technical College held the Fall 2021 Commencement Exercises on Thursday, December 16. The ceremony honored 268 students who were awarded their associate degree, diploma, or technical certificate of credit, and 55 students who were High School Equivalency graduates. Among those graduating, the college awarded 56 associate degrees, 89 diplomas, and 345 technical certificates for Fall Semester 2021. The commencement ceremony was held at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus Conference Center.
Shelby Trimble, Radiology Technology graduate, and the 2021 college GOAL student was the ceremony speaker. “Wiregrass allowed me to achieve my goals of being a college graduate, finding a career I love, and even achieving personal goals along the way,” shared Trimble. “I can never say enough about my instructors. They were and still are so supportive. Instructors do a lot of things behind the scenes that students don't know about and I can never express how much I appreciated everything they did for my classmates and me during the program.” She also credits her instructors for always being there with a listening ear and helping students solve problems. Trimble shared how appreciative she was to Wiregrass staff during the entire process of becoming the GOAL student as she never saw herself being an outstanding student. She credits the award for making her an even better student than she thought she could ever be. Her career goals are to eventually cross-train in different modalities, such as Computed Tomography. She may also continue her education to pursue radiation therapy. Trimble is working full-time at South Georgia Medical Center in the X-Ray department.
