We encourage our graduates to enter their careers with enthusiasm, and always seek new education and training opportunities."

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Gavin Moore | Southern State Graduate

Gavin decided to attend Southern State Community College because the campus was close to his home. According to Gavin, the professors were really great. Gavin says, "They were a big reason I actually continued on with the program and finished my degree."

"I decided to pursue a career in Law Enforcement because I love the idea of helping people and making the community a better place for others. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in this career field. I never had a professor that I did not like, and the police academy instructors were some of the coolest people I have ever met.

"Southern State is a great place for people to start the path of their future careers!"

Gavin Moore | 2022 Southern State Graduate
