SCC’s 50th Commencement Ceremony is rapidly approaching! This is just a reminder that if you are going to participate in commencement, there will be a rehearsal Friday, June 6 at 1:30 p.m. in the Gymnasium. We encourage everyone who is participating in commencement to come to rehearsal.

As well, caps and gowns will be on sale in the bookstore starting Monday, May 12. Each student may have up to four tickets, but we encourage you to only take the tickets you know you will use as there are many students graduating this year. There will also be an overflow room in the gym with a large screen on which non-ticket holders may view the ceremony. We also encourage those with small children and the elderly to use the overflow room as the ceremony will last almost two hours and the gym will crowded and hot.

If you have any questions about commencement, please contact Jennifer Mahern in the Dean’s Office 206.546.4641.

Thank you everyone who participated in the Campus Food Drive! We collected more than 450 pounds of food! The Nursing Department took the cake and donated the most food, bringing in 120 pounds of food! Thank you Tammy Davis for leading those efforts!

On Wednesday students from Gary Parks’ English research writing class on Food Systems came to the CEE offices to help sort and weigh the donated food.

The food you donated will go to our Food Pantry (also pictured) to serve our students in need.  Thank you again for your efforts!
