New SLCC Archives Exhibit at the Markosian Library!

Ever wondered what President Nelson’s gavel looked like or why you occasionally see odd graphics around campus, like an odd circular design a man and a woman in blue and gold that looks like it’s from the 1950’s? Even if you have never wondered, the SLCC Archives currently has a display on the main floor of the Taylorsville-Redwood Campus Library that is filled with objects from our memorabilia collection that will make you do a double-take.

From Alumni Association commemorative items such as stadium seats with a fierce Bruin Bear Logo, decorative Bruin license plate frames and sunglasses to more historical items such as President Caranahan’s commemorative mug, these physical objects provide vignettes of the different transformations that SLCC has gone through since the College’s creation.

Other interesting aspects of the display include mugs and other materials from past marketing campaigns mixed in with a large UTT Logo (from when SLCC was known as Utah Trade Tech) that looks like a gigantic bottle cap, traditional items such as Frisbees and printed mugs, as well as objects ranging to the nearly bizarre, such as a commemorative toilet seat! All these materials represent the colorful past of the College and its students.

Be sure to stop by the main floor of the Redwood Library and check out this one of a kind exhibit of memorabilia highlighting student life and special events over the years at SLCC!

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning. Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs. The CPL department at SLCC was created in 2020 and since then the volume of students served has grown as the department continues to expand. To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
