More than one hundred students and their families gathered recently at the Seminole Campus to celebrate the close of the 2012 Summer of Success program. This year’s graduates finished with a 2.75 GPA in the three-hour course that they all took. Of the 105 students in this year’s program, 98 (93 percent) are registered for classes for the fall 2012 term.
Students and staff from each of the four campuses (Clearwater, Seminole, St. Petersburg/Gibbs and Tarpon Springs) were recognized during the ceremony. Dr. Linda Hogans, Director of the Office of Special Programs, also recognized SPC faculty member Dr. Roland Martens, for his ongoing support of the Summer of Success program.
