Hello, Titans, and welcome to the Fall 2023 Term at St. Petersburg College! Whether you are new to SPC or returning, we are excited to have you with us as we kick off a new semester.
A new academic year holds a lot of promise, including the chance to make progress on your career and educational goals. I am so proud of you all for making your education and your future a priority. I am confident you will succeed because you have the most remarkable and experienced faculty members, advisors, tutors, and mentors to support you at SPC. We are here to celebrate your successes, but
also to help you if you are struggling in any way.
If you need academic help, be sure to talk to your professor or take advantage of our free tutoring, which is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Or maybe you are experiencing personal issues that make it hard for you to focus on your studies. If so, we have many services to help, from food pantries and book lending to mental health counseling and free bus rides. Check out our Current Students page on the website at spc.edu. You’ll find a wealth of resources to support you.
Get to know your professors by being engaged in your classes. While actively pursuing your career goals through classroom success, I also hope you take the time to enjoy all that our campuses and online programs have to offer. There are tons of clubs and activities where you’ll meet students and staff with similar interests. Joining a club, attending a game, or going to a performance will enhance your experience here and help you feel that YOU belong at SPC.
With that in mind, be sure to mark your calendars for our second annual SPC Day! The entire Titan family and the community are invited to celebrate the college’s 96th anniversary at the Clearwater Campus on September 12. In addition to recognizing and celebrating the college’s legacy of changing lives and meeting workforce needs for 96 years, there will be games, prizes, giveaways, and snacks, so I hope you’ll drop by to join in on the celebration!
Thank you for making St. Petersburg College a part of your story. We are honored to serve you and we look forward to a semester filled with new experiences, successes, friendships, and fun.
Go get ’em! Let’s go, Titans! Make Fall 2023 the best one yet!
