On August 2nd, the Sanford-based non-profit organization Let’s Do It Together Foundation (LDIT) will hold its 3rd annual Back to School event with support from local non-profits and local education institutions. CCCC is partnering with the LDIT Foundation again this year and will host the event on the Lee Main Campus. During the event children will receive free bookbags filled with school supplies, teenagers can shoot hoops, and parents will learn more about local education resources and community services. We hope you can make the event.

The Center for Organizational Excellence is excited to invite you to our virtual Adjunct Night! This session will include a welcome from college administration, how to use Blackboard Ultra's new AI assistant, bookstore updates, CCP vs K14 students, and how to connect with adult students. Once you sign up, you will receive a calendar invite that includes the Zoom link for that session. Once you have entered the session, enter your name and department in the chat to count as your record of attendance.
