Student helps to build hope Working nine-hour days in the blazing sun in a South Carolina town was Samuel Clement’s idea of fun this summer. For the fourth consecutive year, Samuel, a Culinary Arts major, put his heart and soul into roofing, sheet rocking, painting and flooring as part of a team of college students who headed down south through Habitat for Humanity. For the past three years, he’s led his own team of college students and family members, building and rebuilding for those in need.

New programs this fall This fall, SCCC has introduced five new academic programs and one that has been revamped. Students are now taking classes in the Casino and Gaming Management and Supply Chain Management A.A.S. degree programs. The new Drama Concentration and Honors Concentration are part of the Liberal Arts A.A. degree, while the Biology Concentration is part of the Science A.S. degree. The Music Business program has been redesigned to incorporate a focus on audio recording with the addition of the Vianna-Brignola Recording Studio in the School of Music, which opened last fall.
This year, Samuel, age 21, was joined by three of his brothers, Simon, 27, Andrew, 22 and Noah, 18, and 15 college students. They renovated a home for a family, built a deck at a women’s shelter and moved more than 3 tons of dirt to prepare a foundation for further construction of another house. Their trip was sponsored by College Suites, the student housing group where Samuel works as a Community Manager. This is the first year that the trip has been sponsored. In the past, Samuel and other team members would hold fundraisers to pay for travel arrangements and other costs associated with the project. He described the past four summers as “awesome.” “All I have to do is provide one week of my time and I can help this person get this house,” he said. “It’s a real chance to give something to someone.”
