"Southern State is close to home and I always felt very welcomed by the friendly staff. The Human and Social Services instructors were also very helpful and patient. I chose this field because it is something that will always be needed and I enjoy working with people. It is important to be empathetic, understanding, and an effective listener in this field of work."

Alysha Puckett | Southern State Graduate
"I always wanted to attend college, but life seemed to be in the way. Once my children were raised, I decided to do something for myself and enroll in Southern State's Human and Social Services: Chemical Dependency Program. This was the best choice for me because it was affordable and close to home. The friendly staff and qualified professors have guided me through my college experience, and I have been able to acquire a full-time position before graduating! SSCC helped me achieve my dreams."
