VIP Welcome happens through a series of events and activities (both online and on-ground) which are aimed at connecting students to resources and supports that will help them get connected and develop a sense of belonging at SMC. Faculty, staff, and administrators all play an important role in helping engage with students and their families during these events which happen prior to the start of the fall semester (VIP Welcome Days) as well as during the third week of the semester (SMC Start-Up). Highlights of the events include student success workshops, department and student services resource fairs, and Area of Interest workshops designed especially for new students.
