What I like most about SVCC: One of the things I like most about SVCC is the support system it offers its students. There are systems in place to help students succeed academically and also to help them manage the many life issues and obstacles that can interfere with academic success. Providing its students with comprehensive resources is one very important way SVCC demonstrates its commitment to excellence.
