Watch this video welcome from SPC President Tonjua Williams as she welcomes students to the 2018 Spring semester.
Hurricane Irma has been one of the worst storms that Florida, and the Tampa Bay area in particular, has ever faced. Despite her strength, we have been resilient and are even stronger in the aftermath! I am thankful that I have not received any reports of major harm to any of our students, faculty and staff. Possessions are replaceable, but you are not.
In light of recent events at the University of Virginia and in the city of Charlottesville, Va., I would like to take some time to reassure you that at St. Petersburg College, we celebrate the diversity of our students, faculty and staff and we denounce hateful speech and actions that are meant to divide us, instead of unite us.
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Patrick Rinard has been selected to serve as the Interim Senior Vice President for Student Services from August 14, 2017 through June 30, 2018.
Today is my first day as the seventh President of St. Petersburg College. I am humbled and proud to serve in this capacity. St. Petersburg College is a special place where opportunities are endless, hope is never deferred and dreams come true. For 90 years, SPC students have experienced faculty, staff and administrators who care and support, and help them achieve success. We will continue to uphold this legacy.
