Suffolk County Community College Hosts Spring Open House on April 19

Faculty, administrators, staff and current students at Suffolk County Community College will welcome new and prospective students to Open House on Sunday, April 19, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Open House will take place at all three of the college’s campuses in Riverhead, Selden and Brentwood, as well as its Culinary Arts Center in Riverhead.

College faculty and administrators will greet visitors and offer detailed information about Suffolk’s varied degree and certificate programs. Admissions staff will be available to help students and parents answer questions and complete the admissions process, and financial aid representatives will provide information about recent changes to FAFSA, as well as the grants and loan process. In addition, visitors will have an opportunity to learn about the numerous scholarships available for students enrolled at Suffolk.

The Open House will also provide students with an opportunity to:

• meet faculty
• tour campuses
• learn about student organizations and clubs

Veterans should note that campus representatives will be available to provide educational and transitional services information. Representatives will also be available to discuss SUNY Reconnect, a transformative free community college program for adult learners designed to help link New Yorkers aged 25-55 without a prior degree who are looking to earn an associate degree in a high-demand career field. After all other forms of tuition assistance are applied, SUNY Reconnect covers the full costs of tuition, fees, books, and other supplies.

“We look forward to welcoming students and their families as they learn about our academic programs and student support services,” said Joanne E. Braxton, Suffolk’s College Dean of Enrollment Management, adding “Visitors will also have the opportunity to tour the campus with student guides who can answer questions."
