Bainbridge College (BC) students who completed the Advanced Emergency Medical Technology (AEMT) Program were honored in a ceremony Aug. 2 at the Charles H. Kirbo Regional Center on the college’s main campus.
AEMT graduates were Bainbridge residents Tyler Pollock and Chris Timmons; Climax resident Kimberly Williams; Colquitt, Ga., resident Alexandria Langley; and Donalsonville, Ga., residents Steven Harrell, Melissa Hester and Julia Kimmins.
Dr. Adria Belk, the dean of the School of Health Sciences & Professional Studies, welcomed the audience to the ceremony. Other speakers included Joan Simpson, dean of the BC Early County Center; Regina Jones, chair of the BC LPN & Allied Health Division; and Tyler Pollock, who delivered the invocation on behalf of the graduating students.
