Happy Community College Month


The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) has announced this year's theme: "Best Decision Ever."


Southern State Community College is the "best decision ever," according to many who have attended here and acquired a higher education degree with little or no debt.


To celebrate Community College Month, Southern State encourages faculty and staff to share stories of student and college success with others and participate in events or activities that promote community college values.


The Communications Department will be sharing stories, photos, and videos on social media throughout the month using the hashtags #CCMonth and #BestDecisionEver. If you are on social media, please follow along, like, and share!


For more information on how you can participate in events and activities, please email the Marketing Director, Elizabeth Burkard, at eburkard@sscc.edu.
