To all incoming Oscar Winners,

To all of those in attendance,

Welcome to the STLCC- Meramec! If you are new to STLCC, please know that you have joined our campus in the midst of a time full of change. The landscape of the campus is undergoing many changes that you will continue to see in the coming years, and by the time they’re complete, Meramec will look much, much different. But nonetheless, over the past six decades, many people who have gone on to do great things have passed through this institution, and even this specific campus. Meramec has hosted many stars and even athletes. Remember David Freese?

In Section 1, “Pre-Production” you will find information on the supplies that are needed to get the job done, including the bare physical essentials as well as the vital outlets of technology that are necessary to master. You’ll also find a map of the campus to help you navigate your journey, and information on the new way to get your textbooks through the college. In addition, you’ll also find information regarding a brand new program joining Meramec’s prolific Horticulture offerings.

In Section 2, “Production” some of the courses to take and clubs to join are highlighted, and you’ll find a detailed guide to building a cast of characters in the friends you’ll make during your time here. In addition to a school year calendar, You’ll also find vital information about Meramec’s counseling department, as well as other resources that you can and may very well come across your time here.

In Section 3, “Post-Production and Release” we’ll help prepare you for the end of your Meramec career. Hopefully, it’s been prolific and full of highlights to add to your personal portfolio. In this section, you’ll find a transfer guide, tips on how to curate the best resume and information on how to ace your dream job interview. In addition, we’ll check in with a former Meramec alumnus doing important work in the journalism field.

Section 4, “The Reviews Are In” revisits some of the biggest news stories of the 2022-2023 school year, including a look back at a year of faculty unrest with tension that can rarely be found on the silver screen, and for the very first time, a pathway to view a bombshell survey report. In addition, we remember the late, great Kathleen Swyers, take a photographic look back at STLCC sports and activities and also highlight STLCC’s newest Board of Trustees member.

And don’t forget to explore what the campus has to offer. There’s a little something for everyone, whether it be sports, clubs or organizations, or even just new friends, if you know where to look.

The Montage hopes this guide assists you greatly in your journey.
