On May 25 from 2 to 6 p.m., the recently remodeled Hurricane Education Center will host an open house to promote the center’s new director and expanded academic programs. A short program will start at 5:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
“We want to let the community know that we are here, we are part of this community and we want to work with and support the community partners we have both academically and professionally,” said Chris Gifford, director of the Hurricane Education Center. “Dixie State University has made a sizeable investment in renovating and updating the center, which has shown me, and hopefully the community, that DSU values their partnership with the Hurricane Valley community and proudly stands with them.”
Offering certification programs such as peace officer standards and training, certified nursing assistant, EMT, A-EMT and paramedic, the center makes it possible for students to complete entire programs without leaving Hurricane Valley. Dixie State University general education courses in fine arts, physical and life sciences, computer information systems, math, history, and political science are also available at the Hurricane Education Center.
Additionally, the center houses a full-service testing center that is open to both students and professionals for various tests, including the college placement test and proctored tests. Located walking distance from Hurricane High School, the center also offers concurrent enrollment options for high school students, helping students save time and money by offering courses that fulfill high school and college general requirements.
The Hurricane Education Center is located at 112 S 700 W in Hurricane. More information is available at 435-652-7910 or hurricane.dixie.edu.
