ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ in Decatur is making it easier than ever for prospective students to enroll in classes, as members of a new student recruiting team will be visiting high schools throughout the district this fall and spring.
The college’s Student Services Division recently welcomed new student recruiters/enrollment specialists Jerami Beard of Morton and Sherrell Brown of Forest to the team. They join Romonica Evans of Newton, who has been employed at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ since 2003, to form the new team whose main focus will be on assisting prospective students. All three are ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ graduates.
