Greetings,
 

Portrait of Dr. Don Tomas, president of SCC
Dr. Don Tomas

As an educator and your neighbor, I want to thank the citizens of Jackson, Macon, Swain Counties and the Qualla Boundary for voting in support of the Connect NC Bond that passed last Tuesday. I am proud to live in a region of our state that recognizes and highly values the importance of education, safety, natural resources and infrastructure in our region and across this great state.

During the past two years, we’ve developed Facility Master Plans for our Jackson, Macon and Swain campuses totaling more than $54 million dollars to improve the educational and training experiences for our students. Now the time has come to utilize the $7.1 million dollars allocated from the Connect NC Bond in the deployment of these Facility Master Plans. Our Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty and staff will work together to prioritize our most critical needs as identified through our Master Plans.

The students, Board of Trustees, faculty and staff here at SCC deeply appreciate your continued support and commitment to help provide for and preserve one of the very best educational institutions not only in our state, but in the nation. We look forward to the opportunities we’ve been afforded and thank you for your investment in us.

Sincerely,
Signature of Dr. Don Tomas, president of SCC
