President Huftalin’s letter to SLCC students

Dear SLCC Students,

Welcome to Salt Lake Community College! I hope you had a great summer and are ready for the new semester. We are glad that you’re here.

Dr. Deneece G. Huftalin was named the eighth President of Salt Lake Community College in September 2014 and feels privileged to have served SLCC students, faculty, and staff for more than two decades. (Ed Rosenberger)

Whether you’re a new or returning student, you should know that SLCC’s fantastic faculty and staff are committed to your success. All 3,000 of us are ready to support, assist and cheer you on as you meet your educational goals.

As you begin navigating our hallways this semester, I encourage you to meet with one of our excellent academic advisors. They will help you navigate your path in transferring to a four-year institution or starting a program that puts you on the fast track toward meaningful employment. Your SLCC advisor is an important ally in helping you achieve success at the college, and they will regularly reach out to you to see how you are doing in your classes and how you are handling your chosen educational path.

In addition to our committed advisors, you’ll be spending your time with the best faculty that we have to offer. All our faculty have excellent academic credentials, and many have won awards, are published in their areas of expertise and have years of experience working in the fields in which they are teaching. With an average class size of 20 students, you will have easy, one-on-one access to incredible teachers who are eager to help you succeed in college and in life.

You’ve got this – and we’ve got your back, from enrollment to completion! Have a great year, and we’ll see you around campus.

All the best,

Deneece G. Huftalin, PhD
President
Salt Lake Community College
