What's New at Greenville Tech
http://www.gvltec.edu/paralegal

Greenville Tech has a new instructor, Erika McJimpsey, who is teaching Law & Ethics for us as well as some Criminal Justice classes.  She is a former adjunct that we have wanted to hire full-time since we met her.  She is a very strong addition to our faculty.

Gary Ramaeker attended the national conference for the American Association for Paralegal Education in Portland in October and was very impressed with the quality of the people he met, the products of the vendors, and the conference itself.

Anne Culbreath is the lead instructor for our new Legal Writing class, and she reports that student work has improved noticeably this semester.  We are hoping that improvement will carry over into later courses and into their jobs.  Effective and accurate writing is absolutely critical to paralegal employment.
