 STUDENTS WHO START AT PANOLA EXCEL

Recently Dr. Trauth, President of Southwest Texas State University (SWT), sent Dr. Gregory Powell, President of Panola College, a report regarding students who transferred to SWT in the fall of 2001. 

Dr. Trauth reported that Panola College transfers, after one year at SWT, earned an average of 28 semester credit hours with a 3.10 GPA.  This exceeds the figures for all 2-year college student transfers who earned an average of 20 semester credit hours with a 2.56 GPA.

“The report from SWT is further confirmation of the outstanding education provided at Panola College.  The passion we have for educational excellence is evident in the successes of our students,” said Dr. Powell.
