The Renewal Retreat, An Evening of Workshops, was held on Thursday, January 31st, 2008. Students were welcomed by Girls Like Us, Inc. CEO and Executive Director, Pamela Gray, as she asked, "What's your mission?" Members of the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program Advisory Board organized the retreat for students to take advantage of training on time management and organization, surrounding one's self with positive people and managing stress by working with others.
Phi Theta Kappa, International Honor Society of the Two-Year College, at SCC has received a paragon award from the international organization again this year for increasing our membership. Seventy-three students were inducted on Monday, March 10th, 2008, the largest number of students accepting membership, ever, in an academic year at SCC.
As SCC students attend classes, chit chat in the Student Union and stress over cramming for an exam, the men and women of our Armed Forces fight for our freedom. Last fall, the students in the EOF Club adopted a soldier named Jordan Puga. Each month the students prepare a care package and send it overseas to show their support.
