Master Class Monday 💄✂️

Our Cosmetology students had the opportunity to learn from industry professional Mallory Byrd during Master Class Monday!

Opportunities like these are made possible through the strong connections between our Cosmetology program and industry partners who bring real-world experience directly into the classroom. Students were able to ask questions, learn from Mallory’s experience and gain valuable insight into the industry.

Thank you, Mallory, for investing in our students and helping prepare the next generation of professionals!

Great food, good music, and even better football! We hope to see everyone out at the game tomorrow!

We hope to see everyone out at the Tailgate Tent this weekend!

The weather was gorgeous this afternoon as President Arnold and students gathered near the fountain for a student forum. Students had the opportunity to hear campus updates, learn about upcoming college happenings and ask questions. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
