Sing the praise of Alma Mater Let us rally to her call Lift our voices, send them ringing, Thru the groves and classic halls. Hail! Hail! Dear Alma Mater! Hail! Hail! Dear S.C. C. We’ll defend and honor, Love and cherish thee. We are loyal sons and daughters Proud to own the name we bear For the truth that thou has taught us Ready all to do and dare. Hail! Hail! Dear Alma Mater Hail! Hail! Dear S.C.C. We’ll defend and honor, Love and cherish thee. written by Robert S. Wilkinson & T. D. Phillips - 1927

Student Recruitment Night
Preparation is still key to success! When high school student Mia Dingle arrived with her Mom and all her supporting documents for enrollment at SCSU, the SCSU Enrollment Management team processed her information online and Mia was accepted onsite. An excited Mai and Mom phoned home to tell Dad!
