Congressman Mulvaney Tours NETC

Congressman Mick Mulvaney visited the Cheraw Campus of Northeastern Technical College on August 29. College President Dr. Ron Bartley, along with other NETC employees, gave Mulvaney and his delegation a tour of the campus with stops in the nursing, machine tool technology, general education and Continuing Education areas.

This visit was the Congressman’s first time on the NETC Campus.

Congressman Mulvaney represents South Carolina’s 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He received a degree in International Economics, Commerce, and Finance from Georgetown University, where he graduated as an Honor Scholar.  He received his degree in law from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated with a focus on anti-trust law.  He worked for a firm in Charlotte before starting his own practice.

Congressman Mulvaney has been named to the House Budget Committee and the Joint House/Senate Economic Committee in the 112th Congress.  He also serves as chairman of the Small Business Committee's subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce. The House Republican Conference Policy Committee has chosen him to chair its Financial Services Task Force.

Mulvaney was accompanied by his deputy chief of staff, Eric Bedingfield, and one of his legislative aides, Graham Haile. Tammy Haile, CATE director for Chesterfield County School District, also joined the group on the tour.

Congressman Mulvaney was impressed with the programs offered to NETC students to help them get jobs.  “I’m glad that you have a good placement rate for students who complete your programs.  I’m especially pleased that many of them are completing high demand programs that lead to good jobs,” Mulvaney said.

Dr. Ron Bartley, NETC President, helped lead the campus tour.  He was happy to provide the opportunity for a first-time tour of the NETC facilities for both Mulvaney and his delegation.  “We have many good things going on at NETC, and we hope that they now have a good feel for the many opportunities that NETC graduates have on their pathway to a future in the job market,” Bartley said.
