WKCTC to Take Part in ‘Super Sunday’ Initiative

West Kentucky Community & Technical College announces that the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) is launching a statewide “Super Sunday” initiative to increase the college-going rate of African-American students. On Feb. 27, all 16 KCTCS colleges and the System office will partner with African-American churches in Kentucky to reach out to parents and students to promote higher education. On Feb. 27, WKCTC President Barbara Veazey will speak at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church and Dr. Belinda Dalton-Russell, vice president of student affairs, will speak at Greater Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church to bring awareness to the role of parent involvement and early preparation in getting to college. Following the worship service, college representatives will host an information fair at each church about the college planning process, admissions, degree programs, financial aid, transfer, and more. This is the first year KCTCS is offering a Super Sunday event, but it will become an annual occurrence and will later focus on other diverse populations including Latinos. Super Sunday events are open to the public and everyone is invited to attend. For more information go to kctcs.edu .
