Greetings from the Alumni Chair

Dear Skylanders,

What is a Skylander?
When I think about the size of the word – sky and land – I imagine a giant of sorts.
Someone with their head high above the clouds & their feet planted firmly on the ground.
Peerless vision.
The ability to dream big, & the foundation to achieve such lofty dreams.
That is what Sussex County Community College is to me.
A college that fosters the Skylander within us all.
Together, through the Alumni Association, we will carry this spirit forward.

To those who don’t know me, my name is James Prior. I am a writer, artist, and proud graduate of Sussex County Community College. I am honored to introduce myself as your new Alumni Trustee and President of the SCCC Alumni Association.

This school gave me more than I could have asked for. It gave me guidance, support, friendship, and purpose. For that, I feel a deep sense of gratitude. I want to help cultivate that same pride so that the bridge between student and alum is strong, familiar, and enduring.

In the coming year, I am excited to learn from President Dr. Cory Homer, Chief of Staff Wendy Fullem, and Executive Foundation Director Stan Kula, who have generously shared their time and knowledge as I step into this role. With their guidance, we are building an organization that will stand strong and support students long after graduation.

There is so much to look forward to: alumni events, creative collaborations, and shared stories of success. I am honored and excited to be part of this journey, and I hope you are too!

If you are an alum or current student, my inbox is always open. You can reach me anytime.

Let’s work together to build something suitable for giants.
Because once you become a Skylander...the world is never the same.

Thank you, James Prior SCCC Alumni Chair Board of Trustees, Alumni Representative
