TAYLORSVILLE — Seventy-five years ago, Salt Lake Community College opened its doors to 246 students to help them open their own doors to bright futures.
"While the first year was, by all accounts, a resounding success with the student body growing to nearly 1,400 students in that year, school almost did not make it through the second and third years," said Deneece Huftalin, Salt Lake Community College president. "Eventually, those who controlled the funding recognized the value this institution brought to the community," Huftalin said.
"Salt Lake Community College and its forerunners have always been a reflection of the evolving community that we serve. An example of this is SLCC's interesting role in reconciling Salt Lake County's historic east-west divide," Huftalin said. "SLCC opens doors to all students so that they can ultimately find success and create a more prosperous future for themselves and an equal society from which everyone benefits.
