| Thank You, Regina Strand: A Tireless Advocate for SCC Students |
For the second time in a month, the College community is mourning the loss of another vital member of the staff. Regina Strand, our Assistant Director of Financial Aid, passed away Sunday night after a brief illness. Our thoughts and prayers remain with Regina’s family throughout this tearful time. |
| Remember the Smile. Thank You, Mary Ellen Hassler |
Every organization, whether it be a college, an office, a factory, or a hospital, has someone like Mary Ellen Hassler on staff. It doesn’t matter the business, we all have a “utility infielder” on the team. Mary Ellen was our “utility infielder,” taking on a variety of tasks, job remnants, and new ideas, to help SCC. |
| Lessons Learned from the Chicago Cubs |
Confessions first – I am a Yankees fan. From the days of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Elston Howard, Casey Stengal, Roger Maris, Moose Skowron, an endless list….. Since I collected my first baseball card, I was a Yankees fan. |
| The Little College The Could... |
Recently, there was a fire in town, not more than a mile or so from campus. Fortunately, it was a limited blaze, though there was significant smoke damage to the structure and no injuries were reported. One of the first responders to this crisis has ties to the College. |
| Back and Better Than Ever |
For anyone who follows ESPN radio, you are familiar with the expression “Back and better than ever” professed by Mike Greenberg (Greenie) of Mike and Mike fame. |
| Thank You, Dr. Klinke |
So often we just take for granted the names we see across college campuses. At Widener, I had classes in Kapelski Learning Center, lived in Howell Hall, and on a couple of occasions reported to administrators in Old Main. Traditionally, we name buildings, areas, rooms, after people of note within a community. |
| After the Tassel Turns |
Commencement was a month ago. So, what happens now? For some there is a traditional pathway to follow with a transfer to a 4-year college and continue on a degree pathway toward a bachelor’s and perhaps beyond. For others, the world of work is much closer and the opportunity is there today to work toward that first million. |
| Commencement 2016 |
As the Class of 2016 prepares for the world beyond SCC, there are a few things to keep in mind. The journey to Commencement is always long, even when it is short. Life just gets in the way. |
| How Are You Spending Your Extra Hour? |
Have you ever questioned the concept of Daylight Savings Time? Many years ago, my father told me that Daylight Savings made our days longer. As a kid, what the Old Man said was gospel. |
| The Future is Now |
There is a Chinese proverb – The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today. We all have a tendency to push certain tasks into the future, not because we dismiss their importance, but we are not ready to deal with them today. |
