SSS- helping students through college -SSS - helping students through college “Sometimes a student might need a little help making it through the college experience. That’s why we are here,” said Cheryl Contino-Conner, SCC director of Student Support Services. The support can range from academic counseling to personal and career counseling- or even personal tutoring. If a student has a disability, SSS can assist with special services. Perhaps a student needs a laptop or a calculator- SCC offers a resource loan program. Or perhaps the need is financial- SCC provides supplemental grant aid. . . » full story
