I've only been here for a short time; I started in late June. However, in that time, I've been blown away by the different programs and opportunities for students. SCC has something for everyone, and it provides the support students need to finish successfully.

What do you love most about working at SCC?
What I love most about working at SCC is seeing the value we bring to our community. Whether we’re educating students, collaborating with Spartanburg employers on larger initiatives, or helping growing companies through our enterprise campuses, we’re making a meaningful impact in our community.

What makes SCC special?
What makes SCC special is the life-changing impact we can have on our students. In just a year or two, a student can be on the path to a thriving career or become the first in their family to graduate from college.

What is one thing you would want others to know about being part of the Chaser community?
You will find your person—or your people—in the Chaser community. You’ll always have someone in your corner, and you’ll never have to wonder if you belong.

Dr. Kenneth Gardner Jr.

What I love most about working at Spartanburg Community College is seeing students discover what they are capable of and helping them turn that potential into a meaningful career. SCC is special because our faculty and staff do more than teach, work together to create opportunities, build partnerships, and help students overcome barriers to success. Being part of the Chaser community means belonging to a college where people genuinely care about one another and where new ideas are encouraged when they can improve students’ lives. At SCC, we do not simply prepare students for their next class; we help them build a better future for themselves, their families, and our community.

What do you love most about working at SCC? 
I love connecting with colleagues who bring passion and purpose to their work and are committed to helping others succeed. Being part of that journey and seeing the transformative impact it has on people's lives is fulfilling. 

What makes SCC special? 
SCC’s connection to the community is what makes it special. Whenever I’m out around Spartanburg wearing SCC gear, people ask if I’m a student. When I tell them I’m an employee, they share their SCC story, whether they attended, are currently taking classes, have a family member enrolled, or hope to enroll someday. Those conversations serve as a constant reminder of the positive impact SCC has on many lives.

What is one thing you would want others to know about being part of the Chaser community?
