For the Senior Visitation Day at the Early County Site in Blakely, the approach was somewhat different, according to Joan Simpson, interim director of the site.

Students from Early, Calhoun, Clay and Randolph counties were invited to the site March 25 for a first-hand tour. BC President Dr. Tom Wilkerson and other administrators welcomed the students who attended.

Approximately 175 seniors from Early County High School and Southwest Georgia Academy attended seminars to learn about admission to BC, financial aid, programs that transfer credit to four-year institutions, and technical studies programs.

Faculty provided program demonstrations for the students who were allowed to ask questions about the program offerings, the registration process and financial aid
