SPECIAL EVENTS

Meet the Team – During the lunchtime hours of 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the college’s new Athletic Director, Matt Wells, and several members of the men’s and women’s athletic programs will be on hand to autograph fun giveaways and meet the community. Guests are invited to enjoy a light lunch with the Patriots, tour the campus and attend informational sessions.

Join the Club – Can’t swing by until after work? The afternoon session is just for you. From 4:30-7 p.m. meet representatives from SSCC’s various student organizations and other folks who will soon call Mt. Orab home. If you’re famished from a long day at work, enjoy a light dinner while you tour the campus and attend informational sessions.

Guided Tours – You are always welcome to stop by and peruse the campus on your own; however, if you want the inside scoop, allow us to guide you through the building with an informed and knowledgeable SSCC representative. Tours will begin every 30 minutes from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and will meet in the lobby area adjacent to the community room.

Part-Time Instructor Recruiting Fair – Interested in sharing your knowledge and skills with students? Teaching part-time may be your calling. Academic representatives will be on hand to help you navigate the credentialing requirements and hiring procedures.
