I’m so excited to be here! Can’t wait to get started.
#SaltLakeCC is thrilled to welcome our new president, Dr. Greg Peterson. July 1 was Pres. Peterson’s first day, and he hit the ground running, meeting many of our dedicated faculty and staff. We can’t wait to see what the future holds! slcc.edu/president/index.asp…
The opening ceremony is just days away! Can’t wait to see our Bruins compete on the world stage.
#SaltLakeCC is thrilled to announce our largest-ever contingent of students to compete in the Olympics. 15 current or recent SLCC students will be part of Team USA in 2026: 12 athletes and one coach from US Speedskating and 3 from US Ski & Snowboard.

This is such a great story.
Sometimes you just need to stop and take a breath. Watch this video about two veterans who know the power of taking a breath, how they met in a #SaltLakeCC class, and how both give back to other vets. Thanks @KSLcom for the feature! #VeteransDay

Foundation team members joined Salt Lake Community College to tour the future Gail Miller Business School and sign a beam alongside Gail and other family members. Her message says it best: “This is all for the students.” We can’t wait to see the space completed next year!

Kudos to one of Utah’s most important colleges @SaltLakeCC for reducing administrative overhead costs and choosing to reinvest those funds back in the classroom and trade/technical instruction. Students come first at SLCC.

Honored to receive the Legislative Champion award from @SaltLakeCC. They’re doing higher ed right—meeting students where they are, building custom paths forward, and investing in people. Proud to support an institution that’s lifting families and communities in Utah.
