Events and News 

Well, it has been another busy week!  We had two candidates present this week for the VP Student Services position.  Thank you so much to everyone that came out for those.   My understanding is that we are also completing first level interviews for the VP DEI this week which means we will have candidates on campus soon.  In addition, we are working on finalizing the VPI process—such an exciting week and I hope to have some updates to share with you all soon. 

The multicultural center did a wonderful job organizing an Eid celebration this week to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Unfortunately, I missed the food portion (but what was left looked delicious!).  There were 90 or so folks attending at one point celebrating and learning more about Eid, and our diverse students who celebrate.  I spoke to several students and learned more about their educational journey and how they were enjoying SCC (very positive feedback but everybody shared they want hot food to return! Me too 😊).  In the spirit of the peacefulness of the day, there was beautiful music, camaraderie, conversation, and kinship.   

As you know we have our accreditation visit next week! I am looking forward to working with you all and celebrating the progress we have made to improve our practices and establish processes to continuously improve what we do to serve our students. Details below! 

I am also including this month’s video update we recorded last week. There’s a lot of good information in there and we had some good laughs too. Thank you to Wendy for joining me! 

Cheers, 

Jack
