On Tuesday, December 5th, Southern Regional Technical College (SRTC) honored its Radiologic Technology students in an award ceremony.

Thirteen students were recognized at the awards ceremony and received pins to mark the completion of their program requirements: Amanda Brown, Ashley Montgomery, Ellicia Stephens, Georgia Snyder, Hannah Hinesley, Kayla Labbe, Kaylee Ezell, Kelsey Drabenstot, Kristian Morey, Mallorie Johnson, Melisa Rodriguez, Nelson Miller, and Tony Hernandez.

At the ceremony, the following awards were given: Werner W. Waldron Outstanding Radiology Student – Hannah Hinesley, Outstanding Academic Achievement Award – Hannah Hinesley, Outstanding Clinical Radiology Achievement Award – Tony Hernandez, and the RTI Medical Systems Outstanding Student Award – Ashley Montgomery. Ashley was also awarded a plaque and $100 to help cover registry costs.

In the coming weeks, seniors will sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam, and pending passage will be ready for careers as radiographers. These seniors, who have now finished up all of their coursework, will walk in SRTC’s next commencement ceremony which will be held on December 14th.

“Over the course of their time in the program this group of students has continually shown they are capable of achieving greatness. These individuals proved their willingness to succeed in the face of didactic and clinical rigor. I wish them the best and know they will be successful as they begin their careers in Radiologic Technology,” commented Matthew Nolan, Radiologic Technology Program Director for SRTC.

The Radiologic Technology clinical affiliate sites for this graduating class were Archbold Medical Center, Archbold Imaging Center, Grady General Hospital, Mitchell County Hospital, Memorial Hospital and Manor, Radiology Associates of Tallahassee, and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.

Special recognition was also given to clinical instructors from each participating clinical affiliate.
