College launches new web site and portal Schenectady County Community College launched a new web site last week to complement the College’s new portal, which hit on Sept. 1. The web site, at www.sunysccc.edu, and MySCCC portal, which is linked prominently to the new home page, help modernize the College’s recruitment and retention efforts while branding the College as a first-choice destination for the Capital Region’s college-bound population. The web site redesign was led by SCCC’s Communications Office working directly with In10sity, a New York-based marketing firm. The MySCCC portal was launched by Information Technology and Communications offices working collaboratively with Cleveland-based Campus EAI, whose MyCampus software is used by scores of colleges nationwide. Earlier this year, it was announced that SCCC received a grant valued at over $1M to fund the portal for the next five years. “The new web site and portal are the result of a demand by students for more modern communications efforts to enhance learning and the college experience,” said Dr. Quintin Bullock, President of SCCC. “These efforts will help us better reach our various constituencies and allow us greater efficiencies and savings over time. We are very pleased to have these new platforms to offer the SCCC community and prospective students and to show off Schenectady County Community College as one of the state’s premier campuses.”
