BEAUFORT, S.C. – The Technical College of the Lowcountry recently named three of its faculty and staff members as its 2010 South Carolina Technical Education Association (SCTEA) Educators of the Year. Winners were chosen by fellow employees at the College.

Libby R. DeLoach, cosmetology instructor, was named faculty member of the year; Pat Irwin, director of grant administration, was named administrator of the year; and Latesha McComas, personnel assistant, was named support staff member of the year.

The award winners were recognized at the annual SCTEA conference in Myrtle Beach in February.
