Utah students competing in SkillsUSA at Salt Lake Community College

Salt Lake Community College recently hosted the yearly State SkillsUSA competition throughout various campuses. Hundreds of High School and post-secondary students had the opportunity to showcase their skills and talents, which they have been acquiring and fostering through the guidance of their professors during the academic year. Prepared with their knowledge and relevant tools to their field, students competed against their counterparts to showcase their skills and earn themselves a place in nationals, which will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, in June 2023.

SLCC students, who are no strangers to SkillsUSA competition, participated in 23 contests out of the 80+ categories, individually and in teams. There were 55 SLCC students representing the institution and 38 of them placed in the top three. The placements look as follows: 19 contestants placed first in their categories, 11 contestants placed second, and eight SLCC students placed third place.

Congratulations to all the SLCC students who participated and remarkably represented the College. Congratulations to the instructors and advisors who have helped strengthen and foster the skills and talents of SLCC students, encouraging them to participate in competitions and preparing them as professionals for their future careers.

Recognizing SLCC's 2025 Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring.
