President’s Message
Dear SFCC Community,
Throughout our history, we have and will continue to serve a diverse population of students of all ages, of all interests, and of
many backgrounds and experiences. Our students come to us for one or more of the following reasons.
• They are seeking an academic course of study to allow them to successfully transfer to a college or university to pursue
baccalaureate or other professional degrees and credentials.
• They are seeking the necessary skills and academic preparation for successful
employment either as new entrants to the world of work or to continue in their
employment while expanding their options and their opportunities.
• They are seeking basic and college developmental skills to allow the successful pursuit
of their educational or career goals.
• They are seeking personal and social enrichment through lifelong learning opportunities
that are interesting, challenging, and certainly fun.
SFCC supports and facilitates the civic, economic, social-cultural, and environmental
development of the college’s service area through partnerships and through cooperative
efforts with other colleges and schools, with business and industry, and with all levels of
government. We like to say that “community” is the most important word in our name.
We’re here to help you. We want you to learn through relevant and challenging educational experiences. We want the education
you receive to be of the highest quality that is possible, and we want you to enjoy pursuing your education at SFCC. Your future
is our business.
Whether you are just getting started with your college education or perhaps you’ve been out of school for many years helping
to raise a family, and working full-time as well, you will find us understanding, caring, and prepared to work with you. I hope we
can help you.
And remember, SFCC is: Down-Home, Friendly . . .World Class Quality!
Sincerely,
Norman L. Stephens Jr.
President
