Meet Tiffany Reagin, TRIO’s Student of the Month for September

Tiffany Reagin of Fort Gratiot had a rocky transition from high school to college.

But through the help of the TRIO program at St. Clair County Community College, the September TRIO Student of the Month was able to get on the right track.

Here’s her story, in her words:

tiffany-reagin-2

“Hello my name is Tiffany Reagin. I started my journey at St. Clair County Community College nearly two years ago.

In my childhood growing up, I realized that I wouldn’t be satisfied with myself. Suddenly there was a bump that I hit! Taking myself from high school to college was not the transition I had expected. My first semester was rocky. I felt as though I was in this horrible rut. My grades went downhill and my attitude didn’t seem like me. I was not a ray of sunshine. I knew it all had to stop immediately!

After all, I had inspired myself to try to get into the pharmaceutical field. After going into the office and talking to an advisor from TRIO, I was accepted as a student in their program. At first I was very cautious and still very hard-headed about joining the TRIO program. But, thinking back to my first year in comparison to my second year, I am so in awe about the change within my grades and my attitude.

TRIO is a great program that I got the opportunity to join. I now have great grades, great tutors, and a very caring TRIO family. I still plan to transfer in fall of 2017 to Ferris University to achieve my Ph.D. in pharmacy.”

Meet the high-flying, fun-having, SC4 Fieldhouse-opening Harlem Wizards

The Harlem Wizards are coming to Port Huron on Monday, Oct. 3, to help open up the St. Clair County Community College Fieldhouse.

They’ll play a basketball game against a group of SC4 and community all-stars. It starts at 6:30 p.m., and tickets are $5 for students and $10 for general admission.

But you may be asking yourself, “Who are the Harlem Wizards?”

If you haven’t already tried googling it, we have your answer.

The Wizards specialize in “show” basketball. They mix humor with high-flying dunks and alley oops. They have a really good time while likely beating the pants off of whatever team has been assembled to play against them.

The dunking is sure to have you jumping out of your seat, as their extensive roster includes players such as Leon “Space Jam” Sewell.

But just for fun, here’s Space Jam doing something ridiculous.

But more than anything, they’ll be providing a show that the entire family can enjoy and will be talking about long after they leave town.

Take a scroll through their Twitter feed and the thing you’ll see more than anything else are smiling faces.
