Many Events Coming Up!

So many interesting events are coming up!

Today (Thursday, the 8th) at 2:30 is the first “Tea With a Professor” event of the semester. This event, organized by the Honors Program, is an excellent opportunity for students part of the SBCC Honors Program to get to know a professor outside of the classroom. Today, our special guest will be Honors English Professor Melissa Menendez. The event will be held at the Cafeteria on West Campus, where snacks and soft drinks will be provided, and the first 10 Honors Students who show up will receive the special Honors Shirt.

This is also an opportunity for SBCC students interested in the Honors Program to get to know Honors students and professors in a stimulating casual environment.

Tomorrow (Friday, the 9th) is the deadline to apply to the SBCC Encores Singing Competition Event, powered by SBCC Student Ambassadors. This event had a great turnout fall semester 2014, and after several requests, we have decided to offer it again! The competition is open to all SBCC students, and all participants will receive participation prices and a certificate. The 3 best singers will be rewarded with considerably higher prices.

Although the deadline is tomorrow, the event will be on the 24th of October, and Ambassadors are usually pretty flexible with deadlines ;)
