Dear Sussex Student:
Welcome to a new academic year at Sussex County Community College. I am delighted to witness the energy, enthusiasm, and potential each of you brings to our campus. Whether you are a returning student or new to our community, I want to share some exciting developments and opportunities that await you.
One of the significant developments this year is the expansion of our new Optics Technology Building behind the Horton Mansion. This state-of-the-art facility will provide unparalleled resources and opportunities for students interested in the cutting-edge field of optics. The building will house advanced laboratories, collaborative workspaces, and the latest technology, solidifying our commitment to staying at the forefront of scientific innovation.
We are incredibly proud to announce the introduction of women's wrestling to our athletics program. This new sport, which has achieved national prominence, not only promotes physical fitness but also fosters teamwork, discipline, and resilience. We are excited to see our student-athletes thrive and represent the SCCC Skylanders with pride, determination, and a sense of empowerment.
Our campus is a vibrant hub of student clubs and organizations, each catering to diverse interests and passions. There is something for everyone, from academic societies and cultural groups to recreational clubs and service organizations. These groups are not just a platform for you to explore new hobbies and develop leadership skills, but they also form the heart of our community, making you feel included, valued, and part of something bigger.
We believe that experiences outside the classroom are just as important as academic achievements. Engaging in the arts, theater, and music can significantly enrich your college experience. Our vibrant arts program offers numerous opportunities to participate in performances, exhibitions, and productions. Whether you are an actor, musician, artist, or enthusiastic supporter, your involvement will contribute to the cultural vitality of our campus.
Please take full advantage of all the resources and opportunities available to you. Stay curious, engaged, and, most importantly, connected with your peers and mentors. Your time here at SCCC is not just about earning a degree; it is about growing as an individual, finding your passions, and building a foundation for your future.
Let's make this year memorable, productive, and filled with success. Welcome to the Sussex County Community College family!
Best Wishes,
Jon. H. Connolly, Ph.D.
Sussex County Community College President
