In the February 2022 issue of SRQ Magazine, we ran a BrandStory  featurIMG State College of Florida. Below is an excerpt.

Students attending college for the first time, transfer students in need of a more personalized learning environment, working professionals and lifelong learners all come together at SCF. Some come to a campus daily, while others complete online work in the evening. There are students accelerating through a full schedule of courses and others making progress one class at a time.

Juwaan Jenkins moved away from Florida after high school to chase his dream of playing college football. When things didn’t go as planned, Jenkins sought the familiarity of his home. After transferring to SCF, Jenkins immersed himself in campus life, becoming president of the Student Government Association and being recognized as a Florida College System Activities Association Student of the Month. He graduated in December 2021.

Autumn Nelson didn’t go to college immediately after high school. Now she balances working full time and raising her son with her studies at SCF. Nelson paces herself by taking one class at a time but uses SCF’s accelerated classes with flexible start dates to still finish multiple classes each semester. With a steady, dedicated approach, she has earned a two-year degree and is making progress on a four-year degree and workforce certificate simultaneously. 

SCF students all start somewhere different and have different end points in mind. We help all of them find their way. 

At SCF, we meet you where you are. We’re everyone’s college.™
