I bid you welcome to SPC's honored and extended family of trustees, administrators, staff, faculty, students, and graduates!

As you conduct your studies at SPC, and as you continue to pursue all the other personal and professional goals in your life, I urge that you also make time to help others, when possible.  As I work to serve you, my wonderful students, please know that I simultaneously serve my community.

For example, I choose to assist defenseless children and the diminished elderly – and many others less fortunate than we – because they need our direct involvement and follow-up support to help relieve their suffering and victimization at the hands of shameless, sociopathic, and cowardly predators coexisting in our society today.

If you ever find yourself in need of guidance, I will share any relevant knowledge learned along my own journey to help you.  All I will ask in return is that, as you go forth into the world, you then look for opportunities to assist others you will encounter, serving in your own ways.  After graduation, as you develop your careers by applying the education you received from SPC, while performing such additional acts of kindness and courage, you will become better citizens and add definition to your own lives.

Again, welcome to the College family.  May peace and prosperity be upon us all as we learn, work, and serve together...!
