Dear Sussex Student:
Welcome to the 2023-2024 academic year at Sussex County Community College. Whether you are a first-time-in-college student or a life-long learner, our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing you with the quality education and the foundation you will need for your college career and beyond.
Academic achievement often comes to those who seek help early and often. Every person here at SCCC is a resource and ready to help you in every way, from our Student Success Center to the Writing Center, DegreeUP, and the Library. Being a student and juggling outside responsibilities can be daunting. Tutoring, computer access, textbook loans, quiet study rooms, a fitness center, mental health support, scholarships, volunteer opportunities, and financial assistance are just some of the resources available for our students. Students are also welcome to visit the Horton Nutrition Center on campus to access free food items in an open-access environment. When you need help, we will provide essential assistance for your success at SCCC and beyond.
I also hope you will take advantage of the many wonderful opportunities that Sussex County Community College offers you outside the classroom. With twelve sports teams and many exciting, cultural, and personally enriching student events, your learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom. Get involved! Aspire to be a Student Ambassador, a club officer, or a scholar-athlete. Visit our eBook storefront and ice cream shop. Cheer on our teams, along with our Skylander mascot. Take a trip with us to a Broadway show or renowned museum. You will find that the more you participate in campus life, the more connected you will feel to the College, the college community, and your classmates.
Welcome to our beautiful campus. You will quickly learn that being a member of the SCCC family is special. We are all so happy that you are here.
Best Wishes,
Jon. H. Connolly, Ph.D.
Sussex County Community College President
