Malisa Kringle is a champion of second chances. To her, the partnership between the NDCS and SCC is giving incarcerated individuals the power to unlock the ultimate second chance before they re-enter society. She considers this the most meaningful work she has ever done.
SCC celebrates a bold brand campaign. Let's Do More is a fresh identity which captures who SCC has always been - a college for people ready to build a skill, a career, and a future. It's a destination for doers.
Amy Jurgens knows a thing or two about starting over. As director of the SCC Entrepreneurship Center, she teaches people how they can take an idea and turn it into a business. That’s what brought her to teaching students in the UPWARD program.
Tammy Zimmer knows what it means to have the deck stacked against you. Her mother had her and her twin sister at 16 and her father didn’t finish high school. Poverty wasn’t a circumstance in her childhood; it was the landscape.

There's lots to do, from sports to clubs and so much more.
Looking back on this journey, I'm truly grateful for all of the experiences SCC has provided me. I remember stepping into college as a shy, anxious student who was solely focused on getting good grades. However, SCC has allowed me to gain new experiences and meet new people all while challenging myself. This has helped me blossom into a more confident version of myself. I have SCC to thank for helping me grow as a person while still being true to myself.
