Beginning Nov. 11, SPSCC will welcome Eun-Kyung Suh to The Gallery at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts for “Stay”. Suh is a Full Professor of 3D Art at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

Suh’s work explores the historical and modern meanings of wall – a continuous vertical brick or stone structure that closes or divides and area of land. Suh’s silk walls include transferred maps of areas and lost homes along the Green Line of the Israeli West Bank Wall.

“I hope to symbolize the lost lives of the people affected by this arbitrary configuration,” stated Suh.

This year, SPSCC welcomes five outstanding tenure-track faculty members to its already stellar team of full-time faculty. Each bring a new perspective and expertise along with diverse backgrounds, education, and life experience.

All student services in The Center for Student Success (Bldg. 22, Olympia Campus) will close at 12 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, 2019, for The Experience annual fundraising event.

The One Stop will still be available by phone or email until 5 p.m. Lacey Campus will remain open.

The One Stop, Start Here desk, Library, Assessment Center, tutoring centers, and other services will remain closed for the weekend; they will resume regular hours on Monday, Oct. 7.

Growing up as the child of Filipino immigrants, Cleo wanted a rewarding and meaningful career at a young age—and SPSCC helped her find the right path to success.

“I always knew I wanted to go to college,” Cleo said, “but the road to receiving higher education was unclear because I knew how expensive it was.”

Every student at South Puget Sound Community College has a story leading to their pursuit of higher education, whether it is to advance or change their current career path or to develop new skills. A vital part of that story for many students are scholarships, particularly those offered by the SPSCC Foundation.

In a yearly roundup by Weekly Volcano, theater critic Alec Clayton named SPSCC’s rendition of “Fun Home,” based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, the number two local theatre production of the 2018-19 season.

Having previously called the production “one of the best plays you’ll see this year” in an article from The Olympian, Clayton made known the impact this production would make in the community, which was the first of its kind in the Olympia area.

SPSCC will be closed until 1 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 16, 2019, for an all-campus meeting.

CCE classes scheduled at the Lacey Campus will still run as-scheduled.

Student ID card stickers will be available starting at 1 p.m. at the Student Life desk.

For a single month beginning in October, The Gallery at the Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts will spotlight the familiar and the strange in “What Lies Beneath”—an exhibition dedicated to life out of sight; that which exists beneath the ground and beneath the waves.
