Remington Embry trained to be a firefighter through Surry Community College, while he was a high school student at the Surry Early College. The Firefighter Career & College Promise (CCP) program gives high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to earn college credentials, tuition-free. Embry was recently hired as a full-time firefighter at the Central Surry Fire Department in Dobson where he serves as lieutenant.

Student Miguel Castillo talks about the Mechatronics program at Surry Community College. Miguel graduated from the Surry Early College with an Associate in Science and an Associate in Arts and worked at Wayne Farms before coming back to Surry Community College to study in the Mechatronics program. He has been able to get raises due to technical skills earned at SCC.

Several activities are planned as part of CFNC's Countdown to College to celebrate and support students as they apply to college.

When navigating Moodle, always use the breadcrumb trail instead of the web browser go-back arrow.

Example Steps To Use This Feature:

Home > Courses > Classes > 2021SP > English and Humanities >

ENG > 2021SP MUS-110-I30G-MUS 110 I30G > Discussion One

If you just spent 30 minutes working on posting your forum submission and click the browser go-back arrow, instead of using this Moodle feature you will loose your post.

Instead, use the breadcrumb trail by clicking your course ID to go back to the course homepage and breathe easier knowing your post is still there.
