Attention all Fighting Artichokes! Scottsdale Community College (SCC) has announced its new Alumni Engagement Program, which will connect SCC graduates across generations to create a network of innovative thinkers, impactful changemakers, and inspiring artists. This community of Artichokes will support each other and help current students get the most out of their college experience. Alumni are invited to attend the Inaugural Alumni Connections networking mixer and launch party on Oct. 26, 2023.
“With more than 50 years of academic excellence, we are so proud of the hundreds of thousands of students who have turned to SCC to help achieve their educational and professional goals,” says Dr. Eric Leshinskie, President of SCC. “I want to invite our alumni to reach out and consider contributing their time and talent to make a difference. You could mentor students, support scholarships, or champion major initiatives for the college and the community!”
All SCC graduates are granted membership to the Alumni Engagement Program at no cost or obligation. With that, they will receive special access to a number of unique benefits. The Alumni Discount Program offers thousands of discounts for SCC alumni in dozens of product and service categories, including parks like Universal Studios and LEGOLAND, as well as neighborhood entertainment venues like Harkins and AMC Theatres.
