March brings the first month of Spring! The weather is warming. The birds are chirping. The days are lasting longer. Soon everything will be in full bloom.

"Spring is proof that there is beauty in new beginnings." - Matshona Dhliwayo
March is Women's History Month
Since 1995, a series of annual proclamations have been made in the United States designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”

These proclamations celebrate the contributions and specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of different fields.

In honor of Women's History Month, each campus will house a display in its lobby. Stop by to learn more about women's history and share the name of a woman who has inspired you over the years!
Spring Break 2024
SSCC will be closed March 4-9, 2024 for Spring Break.

Take advantage of this time to relax, de-stress and reset as we all prepare to tackle the final half of spring semester.
Book Drive at Central Campus
With an extra day this year, February 29 was designated as Leap of Kindness Day Southern State celebrated by collecting books (all genres) to donate to local organizations in need.

To give everyone extra time to participate, we have extended the collection deadline to Friday, March 15.

Daylight Saving Time begins March 10, 2024

The time change will happen at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. That is when 2 a.m. local time instantly becomes 3 a.m.

A number of devices, such as computers and cellphones, will reset themselves automatically, leaving you to change clocks on older, non-connected electronics. The biannual time change is also a good reminder to swap out the batteries in your home's smoke detectors.
