Several Seminole State College students recently attended the production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” at the Oklahoma City Civic Center. The Student Support Services (SSS) and STEM Student Support Services (STEM SSS) Projects sponsored the event. The purpose of the trip was for participants of the programs to have an opportunity to experience a performing arts event that is not typically accessible to them and to enjoy an enriching cultural performance. Students were also treated to dinner at Charleston’s in Bricktown and a brief stroll down the OKC Riverwalk.
The Seminole State College women’s soccer team won the NJCAA Region II Soccer Championship Oct. 30 in Enid. The ladies defeated Northern Oklahoma College Friday evening in double overtime and won over Rose State College on Saturday to clinch the title. Saturday’s match ended 4-3 in a penalty kick shootout, following another double overtime. The Trojans will face Casper College of Wyoming Nov. 6 at 5 p.m. at Rogers State College in Claremore for the District title. The winner of that game will advance to the NJCAA World Series in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Three Seminole State College employees were honored last week at conferences hosted by the Oklahoma Association of Community Colleges. Each year, OACC’s member institutions select three employees to honor – a professional staff member, a faculty member and a support staff member. Talent Search Advisor Angela Harjo was named the Outstanding Professional Staff Member of the Year, Political Science Professor Jeffrey Christiansen was named the Faculty Member of the Year and Social Sciences and Language Arts Office Manager Tina Morris was named the Support Staff Member of the Year for SSC.
Harjo and Christiansen were honored Oct. 28 at the 54th Annual OACC Conference held at the Rose State College Student Union. The event featured dozens of breakout sessions both in-person and available via live stream. Lansing Community College President Steve Robinson gave the keynote address.
