Welcome to SSC

The Seminole State College Professional Staff Council (PSC) organized their second annual “Move-In Event” for all students living in the campus residence halls this year.  Members gathered to fill welcome bags with a variety of school supplies and snacks and also created and hung welcome signs in each room. They received donations from individual employees and organizations on campus to make up these welcome sacks for residential students. PSC members also gathered during freshman move-in day to greet parents and students and help them carry their belongings to their rooms.
