To honor some of our most tenacious students, our Student Recognition Retention Action Team has started a “Student of the Week” award. Faculty members nominate students based on their tenacity, and the team selects one per week.

"Congratulations to Cody McCarter, who's been named our "Student of the Week!"

Q1) What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
A1) My motivation to do well is very simple, I want to better myself and be the best I can be. School isn't something that has always been easy for me, quite the opposite when I was younger. It was a journey to get to where I am, but it definitely made me a stronger person and a better person.
Q2) What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
A2) My advice? Never give up. Even when things look bad, find your drive, and steel your resolve to better yourself. Keep pushing forward and look forward to the future, but never forget the past.
