Artichoke Pride Week is sponsored by the Center for Civic & Global Engagement, which creates quality programs and services that provide students and employees with curricular and co-curricular opportunities that increase civic engagement and enhance global awareness.

“SCC's Artichoke Pride Week has always been a fun and uplifting week during the Fall semester when students and employees can show off their Artichoke spirit,” said Jen Sydow, student services analyst with the Center for Civic & Global Engagement. “This year, SCC's Council of Student Leaders have led the way organizing some fun virtual events as we believe we should still celebrate our pride in being a Fighting Artichoke regardless of our physical location.”
