🐊 We had a gator loose on campus today! 🐊 Don't worry, no one was in danger... unless you count poorly mapped field boundaries. 😄

Students in Precision Agriculture got some hands-on experience with a John Deere Gator, learning how to map fields, create guidance lines, set up AutoTrac, and explore the technology that keeps modern agriculture moving in the right direction. Turns out this gator is more interested in GPS satellites than swamps!

South Central College's newest students arrived at Start-Up today with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Case in point:
✅ Some already knew what a Dirty Soda is.
✅ Others left wondering why they hadn't tried one sooner.

In many ways, that's what starting college is all about: trying things you didn't know you'd love.

That's the fun of new beginnings. Whether it's your first Dirty Soda or your first steps at SCC, you never know where a willingness to explore something new might lead. 🥤

Thanks to the South Central College Foundation team for helping kick off the year with a little extra flavor. Here's to an amazing start! 🎓
