Campuses closed January 19

Martin Luther King Jr. Day marks the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. In observance, SSCC will be closed on Monday, January 19.

King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968.

It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.

Bits & Pieces

Have you updated your contact information in SSCC Alerts? Winter weather can be unpredictable, so please make sure you will receive notifications about campus delays and snow closures if need be. Notifications will no longer be provided on TV/radio stations for SSCC. With the automated alert service, it is the responsibility of all SSCC employees to provide a current phone number and/or email address for notification purposes.

Please remember if there is a weather-related closure, it is important to refrain from coming to campus. Everyone’s cooperation will enhance personal safety. It also assists our maintenance personnel immensely when they can clear walks, drives, and parking lots without obstacles.
