As members of the Southeast Community College community, it is our duty to uphold the mission of SCC: To empower and transform its students and the diverse communities it serves.
As the eyes and ears of our community, it is our responsibility to take action and assist those students or individuals who show any type of behavior that could threaten their own safety or the well-being of the campus community. We all play a vital role in ensuring the safety of our students. The CARE Team strongly encourages people to utilize its referral services to continue to assist our students and to further enhance our community.
