BRTC Holds Making Waves Beach Bash for Students

Black River Technical College (BRTC) hosted a Making Waves Beach Bash on the Paragould campus recently.

The Beach Bash is a Student Affairs coordinated fun day for students that eases students into final exams with a fun break.

Approximately 250 students, staff, faculty, and guests were treated to BBQ, games of Connect Four, basketball, inflatable axe throwing, a punching bag, and the Be Pro Be Proud hands-on mobile workshop.

“We are happy to provide our students with opportunities to interact with one another and create meaningful relationships with other students and the staff and faculty of BRTC,” said BRTC Director of Student Development Dane Dillion.

Students from Rector were also on campus for a Career and Technical Center preview day and were able to join in on the festivities. The junior high students learned about the CTC programs offered as well as the requirements to enter CTC. They also toured the BRTC campus to see the CTC programs in action.

Interested students who will be juniors or seniors in high school during the 2024-2025 academic year who are interested in BRTC CTC programs should contact their high school counselors or Director of Technical and Concurrent Education Darenda Kersey at (870) 248-4184 or email at darenda.kersey@blackrivertech.edu.
