Local OFTC Graduate Triumphs in Radiologic Technology Amid Career Shift

Sharon Lake is set to graduate from Oconee Fall Line Technical College (OFTC) with a degree in Radiologic Technology. Previously a nurse at Hancock State Prison, Lake changed her career path after Augusta University terminated their contract with the prison. She decided to pursue further education in radiology, a field she became interested in during her nursing career. OFTC was a practical choice for Lake due to its proximity to her home, affordability, and the supportive environment it offers through small class sizes and attentive instructors.

Lake benefited from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which covered expenses like tuition, books, uniforms, and transportation. This financial aid allowed her to concentrate on her studies without financial worries. OFTC's commitment to student support is evident in its scholarship and financial aid programs.

At OFTC, Lake enjoyed a positive learning environment, enhanced by helpful instructors and a collaborative classroom atmosphere. Instructors such as Mr. Lee and Mrs. Bray were instrumental in preparing students for their careers after graduation. The supportive and inclusive environment at OFTC contributed to her academic success.
