  Its president, Dr. Sanford Chandler, announced this week that the Committee on Compliance and Reports of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has approved the merger. The Technical College System of Georgia had decided to merge 13 technical colleges to save money, reducing Georgia’s technical colleges from 33 to 26.
  
  Sanford was asked last November to serve as president of the three combined colleges, which will serve Paulding, Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Gilmer and Pickens counties. Appalachian Technical College is based in Jasper and North Metro Technical College in Acworth.
  ...
  Chandler said it was challenging to bring the three colleges together under one name and credited faculty and staff, as well as Newcomb and former Appalachian acting president David Simmons.
  ...
  Chandler and his staff have revised organizational charts to streamline the new college’s administration.
  
  “We look forward to the opening of our new classrooms and lab expansion of state-of-the-art facilities at our Paulding campus later this year,†said Chandler. “I would like to offer a welcome to students from Paulding County, the cities of Dallas and Hiram, west Cobb and south Cobb to join CTC students, faculty and staff as we introduce new programs and expand existing ones already in place in our new building.â€
  
  Chandler will have offices at all the campuses, and Assistant Provost Kary Porter, acting CTC provost following the retirement of Dr. Harlon Crimm, will work part time in Dallas.

  The first meeting will be held on August 8, 2008 at 1 p.m. in the Appalachian Technical College Education Center, Room 318, and will be, according to commission head Dr. Sanford Chandler, an "establishment meeting" that will set the groundwork for future discussion of the $17 million upgrade. Speaking on behalf of the CAC, Dr. Chandler (also president of Appalachian Technical College) said, "We want everyone in the community to have the opportunity to be heard and give input, and we want the commission to represent their desires." Dr. Chandler said the commission is not entering into the public meetings with any preconceived ideas about the future of the project and expects the commission's direction to firm up after CAC meetings begin. Any member of the public who wishes to address the commission will be asked to state their name and address (to ensure Pickens County residency) and will be given three minutes to voice their concerns and suggestions. "The public may come up with ideas we haven't," Dr. Chandler said, "and we want to hear what they have to say."

  "We would love to have it open for fall quarter this year -- that's what we're anticipating," said Sanford Chandler, president of Chattahoochee Technical College, who toured the under-construction building with other college officials last week. Chandler will head the merged college when the merger becomes official July 1.
  ...
  That's why Dr. Chandler's very busy trying to begin the process of securing more funding for future buildings, because it's a three- or four-year process."
  
  "This will be a major impact on students in freeing up space in the physical facility we have now," Chandler said. "We are at capacity -- we really do not have the space to offer the classes we need to offer in the fall. That's the reason we're anticipating this being open, because we definitely need it open in the fall."
  
  Chandler said he expects the merged college to have a combined enrollment of well over 10,000 students. In addition to the college, the building could have a significant impact on students themselves by drawing them from other campuses to Acworth.
  
  "By having [radiography] and some of the other medical programs that we'll have in this building, along with nursing, those do attract other students," Chandler said.
  ...
  "Although we do get state money to put equipment in the building, that sometimes is not quite adequate enough to cover all the brand new technology that we need to be on the cutting edge," Chandler said.

  On July 21, Dr. Sanford Chandler, former president of Appalachian Tech and president of the new Chattahoochee Tech, outlined the expanded opportunities the merger will afford the residents of Cherokee, Cobb, Gilmer, Paulding and Pickens counties.
  
  The merged school, with the most enrollment of any technical school in Georgia with approximately 12,000 students, will be the second largest of Georgia's two-year colleges and the ninth largest public post-secondary institution in the state.
  
  "We have several campuses, but we want to maintain our community focus," Chandler said. He pointed out that the college wants to be a major provider of skilled employees for the area.
  
  "If it's something on the economic development front, we want to be at the table," he said.
  
  Although the merger of the three technical colleges is a result of state budget cuts, Chandler said the move has made the most of technical college offerings in the area, by providing increased access to advanced technology, enhanced distance learning opportunities, a more varied faculty, and expanded access to a larger number of training programs.
  
  Money is being saved, he said, by cost-effectiveness and efficiency, as well as by faculty and administration floating regularly between campuses.
  ...
  "Of our enrolled students, 1,488 are taking classes on multiple campuses," Chandler said.
  ...
  "Grading on that campus location should begin this week," Chandler told the Ledger.
  
  Signature programs include culinary arts and television production technology at the Mountain View Campus; surgical technology and heating and air-conditioning technology at the Marietta campus; early childhood care and education at the Woodstock and Paulding campuses; criminal justice at the Woodstock campus; environmental horticulture, physical therapy assistant and radiography at the North Metro Campus; interior design, automotive collision repair and welding at the Appalachian Campus and computer and engineering technology and biomedical and electronic maintenance at the South Cobb Campus.
  
  "The environmental horticulture program has won the national award for 17 years," Chandler noted.
