Ogeechee Technical College will make its debut on the award-winning TV series The College Tour with a special premiere at 7:00 p.m. this Thursday, January 29, at the historic Emma Kelly Theater in downtown Statesboro, offering viewers an insider’s look at life, learning, and community at OTC. Attendees will be among the first to experience the full episode before its public release on January 30.
Hosted by Amazing Race Winner and onscreen personality, Alex Boylan, The College Tour is a nationally recognized TV series that tells the story of colleges and universities through the authentic perspectives of their students, giving prospective students and their families a genuine sense of campus culture, academics, student life, and opportunity.
“Ogeechee Tech offers the perfect blend of opportunity and value,” said Alex Boylan, host of The College Tour. “You can really feel how everyone, faculty, staff, and students, is working together toward the same goal: helping students launch successful careers in the local workforce.”
Filmed during the first week of the fall semester in August, the episode features ten students from a variety of programs who share their personal experiences, career goals, and what drew them to OTC. From health sciences to personal care, and service and maintenance, the stories highlight the hands-on training, supportive faculty, and welcoming campus environment that make OTC such a special place to learn and grow.
“In my 15 years of higher ed marketing this is easily one of my favorite and most impactful projects I have had the pleasure of working on,” said Sean Payne, Executive Director for Public Relations and Marketing at OTC. “We have amazing students here at OTC. This episode is more than just a showcase of our institution, it’s proof of how determination, hard work, and collaboration can lead to life change.”
