What I like most about SVCC: I’m proud to be part of a team of dedicated administration, faculty, and staff that works together to provide the best learning experience for the students. Besides quality academic programs, Sauk has an excellent support network to help its students succeed academically and to help them manage any obstacles that may interfere with academic success. Great people and great programs make Sauk a great place to work.
Other: Favorite quote: “Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner; put yourself in his place so that you may understand…what he learns and the way he understands it.” Soren Kierkegaard
