Southeastern students
gain edge on emerging
technologies in showcase
By MARK GILCHRIST
Photographer

Southeastern Community College held a Technology

Showcase Sept. 25 as a part of its Student Engagement Day
series. The morning began with an introduction in the audi-
torium, from where students – all on a day off from regular
classes – fanned out to locations in and around the Cartrette
Technology Center.
Stopping at more than a dozen stations filled with exhib-
its, demonstrations, classes and even a texting competition,
students honed their technical edge, sharpened their study
skills and gained insight on emerging technologies.
SCC was the first community college in the state system
with an agricultural biotechnology program. Dr. Karen Stirrett gives students a behind-the-scenes tour of how a forensic crime lab works last month
during the SCC Technology Showcase, a part of the college’s Student Engagement Day series.

Jock Brandis of the Full Belly Project in Wilmington demonstrates a foot-powered water
pump, right, and a solar-powered pump that is supplying a water sprinkler.

Students raced to type the fastest and win prizes during

a texting competition.
