“The College has 8 shared beliefs that together, help set expectations and establish norms for how we will work together to advance our mission and achieve our vision. This Center is just one way we are holding ourselves accountable for living our shared beliefs. This center is an example of how we walk the talk,” says Annesa Cheek, SCTCC President.
