One more ‘first day of school’: South Seattle College, tomorrow

(WSB photo, taken this afternoon)
Fall quarter starts tomorrow at South Seattle College (WSB sponsor). According to the official announcement, changes for fall include a new Bachelor’s Degree program, Sustainable Building Science Technology, a “90-credit degree program (that) offers industry professionals a pathway to becoming a skilled Building Science Professional. The program emphasizes upper-division coursework that focuses on the complexities of building science, energy codes, building codes and facility management.” Also: What were known as the International Programs at SSC are now under the umbrella of the renamed Center for International Education, which moved to a new space on campus over the summer, housing services ranging “from aiding international students … to Study Abroad programs and international staff/faculty exchange opportunities.”

P.S. Registration for SSC classes is still open, even with school starting tomorrow – here’s the info on that.

    Although there is plenty of activity, the first day of the quarter isn’t until tomorrow, the 23rd as listed on their website.

      The 9/22 start is according to communications director Kevin Maloney and the news release he sent Sunday. I didn’t cut and paste the release verbatim – used it as fodder for this short item instead, as some parts of the release were things we’d already reported (the name change, the expansion of the 13th Year program) – but it started this way:

      > SOUTH STARTS NEW YEAR ON SEPTEMBER 22
      > September 21, 2014: SEATTLE – South Seattle College will begin the
      > 2014-2015 academic year on Monday, Sept. 22 with a handful of changes.
      > The start of a new year will bring a host of changes to South’s
      > campus, including a new name.

      The home page also lists Monday, September 22nd, as first day of classes. http://www.southseattle.edu
