SMCC is hosting its Fall Open House on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon at the South Portland Campus. We invite students and families to visit and get a first-hand look and feel for all we offer.

"SMCC is dedicated to providing education and training that meets the unique needs of each individual, and we are thrilled to share the many ways in which we do so with those attending our Fall 2024 Open House," SMCC President Kristen Miller said. "Our supportive and vibrant community creates an enriching learning experience, and we are excited to offer anyone seeking a strong educational foundation, preparing for a rewarding career, or gaining new skills the opportunity to explore all we have to offer, including short-term Workforce Training and Maine's Free College Program. We're here to help you build your future-how you want, when you want."
