Expanding Programs
Incorporate student, workforce, and community demands to select additional programs and
courses that prepare students for today’s career or college transfer needs.
The economy and technology are changing faster than ever, and the programs SCC offers need to keep up with these changes. Doing so will lead to a more prepared workforce to fill roles in emerging fields, in addition to longstanding careers.

Ensuring Access
Expand on the Open (universal) Access mission of the college by granting additional
scholarships based on student need and supporting all students in their college success.
During my term, we kept tuition affordable and greatly increased the amount of scholarships we awarded, including to low income high school graduates. If re-elected, I'll continue this mission by granting additional scholarships based on student need and supporting all students in their college success. I’ll also ensure tuition and fee increases are minor so students without scholarships aren’t priced out of access.

Increasing Enrollment
Reach more students by continuing to increase student enrollment, especially in technical
programs, and secure adequate funding under the Community College Future Fund.
During my term, SCC has experienced sharp increases in enrollment, meaning we bring the
power of higher education to more students and fill more skilled jobs in Nebraska. If re-elected, I will make sure we reach more students by continuing to increase student enrollment, especially in technical programs, and secure adequate funding under the Community College Future Fund.

Practicing Fiscal Responsibility
Continue to be good stewards of state, taxpayer, federal, private, and student funds as SCC
thoughtfully grows its program and course offerings and facilities.
The SCC Board makes all major financial decisions for the college. If re-elected, I'll ensure the SCC Board makes sound financial decisions and practices diligent oversight over how funds are allocated and spent.
