For more than 75 years, the health and vitality of Salt Lake Community College, Salt Lake County, and Utah have been deeply intertwined. The foundation of the relationship between the College and our partners is a shared commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our students and communities. This annual report spotlights how, through the power of SLCC resources and meaningful community collaborations, we worked together in 2023-24 to help our students, communities, and region succeed. Collectively, we created transformational educational opportunities while addressing community challenges, engaged with K-12 schools, celebrated and connected with each other at community events, promoted the health of Salt Lake residents, advanced climate solutions, and strengthened the state’s economy, among other initiatives.
Community engagement has long been woven into the fabric of Salt Lake Community College’s mission, vision, values, and actions. Your partnerships, collaborations, and support drive our work and help us make a positive impact. I look forward to the many ways we will continue to strengthen existing relationships and forge new partnerships that deepen and broaden our collective impact so we can continue to build strong and thriving communities.
-Jen Seltzer Stitt, Director, Community Relations
Cover Artwork
Recessional Oceans by Matt Monson
“This piece, made over the course of almost two years, is a meditation on the meaning of ‘home,’” said artist and VAD instructor at SLCC, Matt Monson. Monson spent up until his young twenties growing up overseas in places like Japan, the UK, Germany, and the Philippines – spending summers with extended family in Salt Lake. Although he always called Utah home, it wasn’t until transplanting to SLC in his twenties that he first truly explored putting down permanent roots in one place.
He’s proudly called Salt Lake City ‘home’ now for over 20 years. This artwork depicts both his love for the city, as well as influences from his youth living abroad. It also speaks to the idea of growing and maturing over time in a city that is very much doing the same thing.
SLCC Welcomes Dr. Greg Peterson, Ed.D.
On July 1, 2024, Dr. Greg Peterson became the ninth president of Salt Lake Community College. He brings a deep commitment to the community college and technical education mission and to the communities we serve. President Peterson is dedicated to connecting the hope education offers with action: providing access for all students, advancing programs that meet community and industry need, creating connected and high-quality experiences for students, and supporting alumni and community success.
Peterson, himself a first-generation community college student, earned a doctorate in educational administration from the University of Texas at Austin, a master’s in postsecondary education from Portland State University, and a bachelor’s in English from Brigham Young University.
Most recently, he served as president at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona, where he developed strong relationships with community and industry partners. Throughout his career, he has led key efforts in student learning and success, including developing transfer partnerships and college promise programs at multiple institutions. He also launched the first community college Artificial Intelligence program in the nation.
Peterson has a strong track record of working with industry parteners and community leaders to strengthen workforce pipelines for students, and he is engaged in many local and national organizations, including the Hispanic Association of College and Universities.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
At Salt Lake Community College, we know that when we invest in environmental sustainability we invest in the future of our students and our communities. This year, we completed several projects that reduced our environmental footprint, increased sustainability, and better leveraged environmental resources. In August 2023, we welcomed students to the new Herriman Campus Juniper Building, SLCC’s first Gold Certified LEED building. Over the past year, we also installed a new parking canopy with solar panels on the roof at our Jordan Campus, upgraded lighting to LEDs at the Miller Free Enterprise Center Auditorium and the Markosian Library on our Taylorsville Campus, and continued to phase in xeriscaping throughout our campuses to reduce our water usage.
FISCAL YEAR 2023/24 TOTAL RECYCLED
BUILDING BRIDGES OF CONNECTION
Salt Lake Community College is dedicated to fostering community connections through initiatives that bring people together, celebrate diversity and intercultural connections, and offer transformative experiences.
The Thayne Center for Student Life, Leadership & Community Engagement spearheads a variety of community and civic programs that allow students to connect to community, resources, and programs that cultivate empowerment, leadership, and social change.
In March 2024, SLCC’s Global Connections, Kurdish Student Leadership Club, and International Student Services partnered with the Emerald Hills Institute to host an Interfaith Iftar, bringing together community members of all backgrounds to take part in the Muslim tradition of breaking the fast during Ramadan. Participants learned about the traditions of Ramadan and forged connections with people of different faiths and backgrounds.
“Ramadan is a collective ceremony where everybody, not just family, but also friends and neighbors, get together. It’s not an individual thing. We take that opportunity, whenever possible, to celebrate with other fasting or non-fasting people,” said community member Emad.
SLCC’s American Indian Student Leadership Club joined the Urban Indian Center of Salt Lake, the Thayne Center, the American Indian Resource Center at the University of Utah, the U of U’s Tribal Student Association to host the “Weaving Communities & Making Connections” Pow Wow. The Pow Wow celebrated cultural heritage with traditional dance, music, and memories, emphasizing the importance of preserving and honoring the rich traditions of different tribes while reminding us of the common threads that bring our communities together.
PROMOTING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Salt Lake Community College is committed to our role in supporting the democratic vitality of our community through civic education and skill building.
“The SLCC-DC internship program was a unique and life changing experience for me. Coming from France and majoring in Political Science at SLCC, interning for two semesters in DC—the political heart of the United States—brought me knowledge and confidence to tackle new and foreign concepts,” said Nina Ginard, SLCC intern.
SLCC offers unique educational experiences like the Washington D.C. Internship Program, where students gain insight into political processes and policy development. With financial support from SLCC, students like Nina Ginard, a Political Science major, described the experience as “life-changing,” boosting her confidence and broadening her global perspective.
Closer to home, SLCC Serves is a college-wide program centered on an understanding of community-centered approaches to service. Organized by SLCC’s Thayne Center for Student Life, Leadership, & Community Engagement, Days of Service, brings students, faculty, and staff together in service to our communities. The Thayne Center hosts monthly service projects designed to build community between students and introduce them to community organizations and various ways to serve. The Center also hosts large bi-annual Days of Service for staff, faculty, and students on our campuses and in our communities. In 2023-24, we partnered with Green Urban Lunchbox, The Children’s Center, Esperanza Elementary, Neighborhood House, Tracy Aviary, SLCC Gardens, Wasatch Community Gardens, and Project Access in a variety of projects that helped support, build, and beautify our communities.
“I always look forward to Days of Service because I get to connect with the community to make a positive impact,” said J. Huynh.
SLCC students from the Construction Management Program teamed up with The Other Side Academy to build a tiny home for The Other Side Village, providing sustainable housing for formerly unsheltered individuals. This hands-on project allowed students to apply their skills while making a significant impact on the community. The partnership teaches students how they can work collaboratively with organizations and apply their talents to address issues of concern that affect the well-being of their community.
Each year, the College recognizes the work of outstanding faculty, staff, students, and community partners that embody the SLCC values and exemplify services, leadership, and engagement through the competitive SLCC Presidential Community Engagement Awards.

Dr. Daniel Baird is a community-engaged learning faculty in the Department of English, Linguistics, and Writing Studies, Folio Faculty Advisor, and Associate Director of the Community Writing Center. Daniel is a longtime champion of community engaged learning. He works with community organizations to develop long-term and meaningful partnerships that support the needs of the organization and students’ educational goals. His classes have created operating manuals and informational brochures and participated in grant writing helping community partners who often struggle to complete these tasks because of capacity constraints.
Spotlight: Engaged Student, Rachel Nguyen
Rachel Nguyen is a peer leader, president of the Asian Student Association, and a student intern in SLCC’s Student Engagement, Experience and Achievement department. She dedicates a lot of her time advocating for students and helping to build community. She credits her ability to becoming part of a community to taking several “tiny leaps of faith” to reach out and get involved. Rachel thinks “every student without the connections starts their college life here going to class and straight home without talking to anyone. I underestimated the power those small leaps would take, how asking what I could do, and reaching out to be part of a committee, would connect me to so much more.” She credits her work with students and community members with helping her “understand what it means to be part of something, be able to contribute to something greater and be able to be someone who doesn’t just let life live through them. Connection, service, and community are what I believe are essential in society.”
The Office of Community Engagement supports Salt Lake Community College faculty and staff working with community partners on projects that reflect SLCC’s values of community and collaboration. This year eight Community Engagement Grants totaling $34,150 were awarded to staff and faculty. Congratulations to the grant recipients.

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT
West Valley Center Center for Community Knowledge Becomes Gathering Place
The inaugural programming of the Center for Community Knowledge at SLCC’s West Valley Center focused on creating relationships and building a shared space for the community. This year, we hosted events that ignited interest and offered opportunities for underserved populations to share knowledge, learned about institutional resources, and connected with each other and the SLCC students, staff, and faculty. College and community joined together to experience arts, culture, educational workshops, and celebrations like the West Valley Center Day of the Dead observation, a Marketing Workshop Series, and Lo Que Mi Mamá No Me Enseño
Each November, the Day of the Dead represents an opportunity for people from all cultures to come together and celebrate the value of life, while honoring those who have passed. The celebration included food, live music, performances, and a candy skull workshop. People of all ages, languages, faiths came together at the Center. Most importantly, SLCC and community members could hold and claim space at an SLCC campus during this special occasion.
In spring 2024, we gathered community for a four-part marketing series for existing entrepreneurs and for a domestic violence workshop for Womxn’s History Month. While Salt Lake County’s west side is rich with business owners of all backgrounds, many lack access to resources that allow them to create in-house marketing. Working in partnership with the Women’s Business Center, SLCC’s West Valley Center provided access to mature learners and Spanish speakers. In its first year, the Center embraced its role to provide open access to free, transformational educational experiences that connect communities to SLCC’s resources and increase awareness of the wealth of knowledge and activities that take place in our community.

The CommunityEngaged Learning Program connects college and community by sharing knowledge to deepen academic and civic learning while addressing community needs. The Engaged Learning Office supports students and faculty inside and out of the classroom through Community-Engaged Learning and Study Away programs. These high-impact practices promote deeper learning and lead to increased student retention. Experiential education helps students address pressing community and global issues while earning college credit. Students also gain valuable career experience, network with diverse communities, and participate in problem-based learning.
“We gain so much from engaging with the community. This has enriched our learning in ways that just studying theory could never do. I have had the opportunity to build relationships and engage in work supporting organizations I find meaningful,” said CEL award winner Jenny Bailey.
Experiential Learning in Louisiana Leads to Connections and Inspiration
ELO awarded scholarships totaling to support student participants traveling to three locations: $30,875
India Japan Louisiana (US)
A Taste of Louisiana, taught by Professor Jeff Zealley, is part of SLCC’s Community-Engaged Learning Program. Over a one-week experiential learning domestic study trip, students had the opportunity to learn about diverse cultures, historical dynamics, and socioeconomics as they visited New Orleans’ French Quarter, cemeteries, museums and gardens as well as one of the city’s historic villages. During a service day with Volunteers of America, students worked with adults experiencing cognitive and developmental disabilities. SLCC student Brisa Aguirre Jurado found her volunteer experience inspiring, saying “seeing them laugh and smile was worth it.”
Physical and Occupational Therapy Clinic Provides Valuable Services to the Community
The Physical and Occupational Therapy Clinic (PT/OT) at SLCC’s Jordan Campus provides free services to clients of all ages. As a student-led clinic, students take the lead in providing treatment, supervised by licensed occupational therapy practitioners and physical therapists who also serve as faculty/adjunct instructors. Our pro bono clinics focus on clients who are underinsured, underserved, or have exhausted their insurance benefits; or who because of their diagnosis and rehab potential will be good teaching candidates for our students. In 2023-24, the students and faculty at the clinics provided 1,646 hours of service to 316 patients.
The PT/OT clinics offers a variety of therapeutic exercise and functional training. Students assess patients and establish a plan to help them meet their goals and improve overall well-being. Treatment is available to community members with a variety of diagnoses including traumatic brain injury, visual impairments, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome, sensory processing disorders, and neurological conditions such as post stroke, cardiovascular and pulmonary diagnosis, joint and soft tissue injuries, post-surgical rehab, Scoliosis, and many others.
Brooklyn, a pediatric patient in our PTA program, was born with Cerebral Palsy. Because of the treatment she received in our clinic, she made remarkable progress in her running and walking abilities. When asked, “How much more fun is it to run now on a scale of 0-100%?” she answered, “1000%.”
Veteran Business Partnerships
Boosts
Entrepreneurship Around State
This year, the Utah Veteran Business Resource Center, a program of SLCC’s The Mill Entrepreneur Center, expanded programming and increased enrollment in core programs. In 2023, the Mill offered Boots to Business Reboots, a partnership with the Small Business Administration and the Big Sky VBOC. Boots to Reboots is an entrepreneurial education and training program that provides veterans, service members, and their spouses with the basics of business ownership, evaluating business concepts, and legal and financial practices.
The Mill also increased enrollment in the women-only STRIVE (Startup Training Resources to Inspire Veteran Entrepreneurship), a rigorous six-week entrepreneurship training program offered through Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veteran and Military Families (IVMF) and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), in partnership with the Utah Veteran Business Resource Center (VBRC) at Salt Lake Community College and part of the Mill Entrepreneurship Center. In 2023-24, this program graduated 96 veterans and military-connected entrepreneurs.
Reflecting on Your Life Timeline: A Journey of Self-Expression, Connection, and Growth K-12 PROGRAMS
The PACE Scholarship Program, developed by Salt Lake Community College in collaboration with local banking and business leaders, serves as a pioneering scholarship and mentorship initiative. Its purpose is to boost high school graduation and college enrollment and achievement among first-generation and economically disadvantaged high school students. Beginning in 2011, we’ve established relationships with six local high schools, including Cottonwood, East, Granger, Highland, Kearns, and West. Participants who successfully finish our program in high school are awarded a scholarship for up to six semesters at SLCC.
In the spring of 2024, the PACE Program at East High School launched a transformative initiative called “Reflecting on Your Life Timeline.” This unique activity involved 23 sophomore students embarking on an introspective journey under the guidance of Sarah (she/ella) and Kyra (they/them), who served as the acting PACE high school advisor and lead PACE peer mentor, respectively.
Kyra, a PACE Scholarship Program alum from Highland High School and a current student at SLCC, played a pivotal role in creating a supportive environment that encouraged students to explore beyond their comfort zones. They were particularly moved by the students’ ingenuity, noting, “It was truly memorable to witness their creativity flourish as they assembled vision boards that served both as artistic endeavors and reflective tools.” The diversity of expression, highlighted by one student’s detailed drawings, showcased the wide range of talents present within the group.
Sarah, also a PACE program graduate, shared similar insights. Having journeyed through East High School and higher education herself, she appreciated the critical role of formative experiences in guiding one’s academic and professional trajectory. The activity was carefully designed to foster a sense of belonging and a growth mindset, which are core components of the PACE curriculum. “Students were able to visualize the knowledge acquired through their experiences while acknowledging their adaptability,” she remarked.
A memorable interaction for Sarah involved a student who had recently moved from abroad and struggled to express his thoughts. This provided Sarah a valuable opportunity to connect on a personal level, allowing her to learn about the diverse backgrounds and challenges students face before joining the program.
The session had a significant impact, prompting students to engage in self-exploration and foster connections with peers and mentors alike. This aligns with PACE’s overarching goal of transforming lives by nurturing a sense of belonging, promoting a growth mindset, and enhancing self-efficacy.
Reflections from Sarah and Kyra highlight the importance of such activities. They emphasize that these experiences are not merely about producing art or sharing narratives but about creating a rich mosaic of experiences that propel students toward academic success and instill a sense of community where they feel acknowledged, listened to, and valued.
-Alonso Reyna Rivarola, Director PACE Programs
Middle School Engagement
SLCC’s Middle School Engagement team worked closely with Glendale Middle School and Thomas Jefferson Junior High School to strengthen students’ college-going mindset.
Jefferson students participated in programs that built an understanding of the college experience, both academically and socially, and the importance of establishing a strong foundation rooted in education. SLCC staff hosted College Corners, a program with activities and visits from SLCC faculty and staff introducing different courses and sharing resources to prepare for college financially and academically. Throughout the year, SLCC staff gave presentations about College & Career Awareness and shared SLCC information and resources with Jefferson’s students and their families.
Students learned that postsecondary education is not all about growing academic and technical skills but meeting new people and engaging in civic activities as well. Representatives from SLCC’s LUChA Club spoke with the Latinos In Action class and worked with them on a service project.
Glendale Middle School students worked with SLCC staff and 104 Youth, an afterschool partnership program. SLCC piloted a program focused on educational pathways that centered around hands-on learning and leadership. The program works with students and their families and workshops are planned based on their interests and their lived experiences. In addition, this program connects students to SLCC and community resources.
Students Building Futures at Verizon Innovative Learning Program
Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers Camp at various SLCC campuses engaged middle school students in an in-depth exploration of STEM programming, skills, and opportunities, ranging from learning state-of-the-art technology to problem solving skills, to exposure to career opportunities in technology fields. Students received mentorship, access to next-gen technology, and hands-on training connected to real-world challenges. Students learned design thinking, 3D printing, augmented reality, and social entrepreneurship. They also made new connections to other students and had a blast exploring campus!
One SLCC camper, Clark, had a full, transformational camp experience. He initially struggled with his design thinking challenge. After working with his counselors, he rethought his approach. Cheered on by his counselors and fellow campers, Clark made a comeback and won the prize for best design. The experience helped him with his troubleshooting process and realize that collaboration and community are an important part of success.
Salt Lake Technical College Apprenticeships Strengthen Our Workforce and Communities
In the past year, Salt Lake Technical College’s (part of Salt Lake Community College) Building Automation Systems (BAS) program continued to play a vital role in preparing skilled technicians to meet the growing demands of the industry. BAS control technicians utilize automation and control systems to effectively monitor and manage building-wide systems, including HVAC, lighting, alarms, and security access and cameras.
SLCC’s BAS program offers both Level 1 and Level 2 certificates, providing students with essential training and expertise to excel in their roles. Thanks to the generous support and a grant from Johnson Controls, 100% tuition assistance is available for students new to the field. Every student who received funding from this grant was assigned a mentor from Johnson Controls to help smooth their transition from the classroom to a career. Students that received Johnson Controls funding were connected to either an internship at the company, or with another prominent local employers in the same industry.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
The Grand Theatre Program is impressive on any stage. This year they performed four live musicals employing local actors, designers, and crew members. “The result is that less experienced individuals work side-by-side with seasoned professionals to hone their skills and advance in their profession,” said Director Seth Miller. Approximately 32,000 patrons attended the productions this year.
In addition to the theatrical season, we also partnered with several community organizations, such as, Art with Heart, Excellence in the Community, Odyssey Dance Company, and Salt Lake County to offer free films, lectures, workshops, dance concerts, and music concerts. The Grand is committed to ensuring that all these programs are accessible and affordable to everyone in our community.
An important part of the Grand Theatre’s mission is to foster a meaningful relationship with theater for K-12 students through access to student matinees, theater tours, post-performance, and in-class discussions with actors and theater and technical educators. In 2023-24, middle and high school students from across Salt Lake County took part in a two-week intensive summer camp, which included classes in acting, musical theatre, or technical theatre. In addition, during the school year instructors and theatre students from SLCC and the University of Utah worked with middle and high school students in a free afterschool program focused on honing student’s screenwriting skills. Finally, 390 students and 71 teachers took advantage of the Grand Youth’s free admission program, which provides junior high school and high school students and teachers with tickets to see Grand Theatre productions.
