As the winter season approaches, ensuring the safety and well-being of the SLCC community becomes increasingly important. With colder temperatures and unpredictable weather conditions, it is essential to take a proactive approach.

It is recommended to wear for shoes or boots with non-slip soles to provide better traction on slick surfaces. Additionally, when walking on campus or outside, take smaller steps.

  During a recent visit to Salt Lake Community College’s South City Campus, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona laid out four “buckets” for successful education: career guidance, work-based learning, dual enrollment, and industry credentials.
