YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS.

Dear Alumni and Friends,

 

This fall has brought us so much to celebrate; our SMC Corsairs had a big victory at Homecoming! The Corsair newspaper had a big win at the Southern California Convention of the Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC), and SMC's first student film, Solidarity, won best dramatic short at the San Diego film festival.

 

Scroll down to meet one of our Future Alums. Read about White House honoree, Andrew Hem, in the Alumni Spotlight and his contributions to the art world, and don't miss Balenchine's Nutcracker Ballet in a first ever appearance on the Broad Stage at Santa Monica College's Performing Arts Center.

 

Thanksgiving is around the corner which gives rise to reflect upon the many things for which we are grateful. I am grateful to have had the opportunity over this year to meet so many SMC Alumni from New York to Hong Kong and back here at home in Santa Monica. I am inspired by the stories, the connections, and the generosity of spirit to give back. Please join me and share your reflections.

Andrew Hem
