Letter from our Chief of Institutional Advancement and Engagement
Dear SMCC Community, Neighbors, Friends, and Families,
Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) has transformed the lives of our students, faculty and staff for close to eighty years. It has served as the foundation of the ever-changing needs for the State of Maine and continues to do so, time and time again.
During the week of April 13-17, we invite you to join us for SMCC’s Annual Giving Week, as our community comes together around the college’s strategic goals of Propelling SMCC forward, together.
Your gift empowers the next generation of Seawolves to find their way at SMCC, transforming their own futures while fueling the workforce that keeps Maine moving forward. Gifts made during Annual Giving Week strengthen every corner of our college—enhancing academic programs, supporting our world-class faculty and staff, uplifting athletic and campus life, and providing the scholarships that help our Seawolf community thrive.
Together, let’s ensure that SMCC remains the cornerstone of education and workforce development in Maine for generations of Seawolves to come. We welcome you to mail your gift or give online. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest Annual Ask Updates. Thank you for helping our future students propel forward.
Warm Regards,
Matthew Richards
Chief of Institutional Advancement and Engagement, SMCC
