What is Campus Cares?
The Campus Cares campaign engages all SPSCC employees in donating to students to support scholarships, college programs, and emergency assistance.
Thank You for Making a BIG Impact
In 2018, 24% of SPSCC employees participated in Campus Cares. Today, 40% of staff and faculty participate and contribute over $58,000 annually to support SPSCC students!
This year, we want to say THANK YOU!
If you want to join us in thanking our campus colleages, please visit the Campus Cares gratitude wall to post a message celebrating the great work that is done every day, in every department, to support student success. No donation is necessary to participate, only gratitude.
