As members of the Southeast Community College community, it is our duty to uphold the mission of SCC: To empower and
transform diverse learners and communities of southeast Nebraska through accessible lifelong educational
opportunities.
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.
