Seminole State College’s Boren Library has launched a new laptop loan program to assist students with their technology needs. With a growing number of students enrolling in online or hybrid courses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the College wanted to offer the program to remove a financial barrier that students may face. The devices were purchased with funds SSC received from the federal CARES Act.

Seminole State College held an N95 mask fitting for employees Thursday afternoon and will hold a second session on Jan. 13 in the Enoch Kelly Haney Center’s Utterback Ballroom. The masks were made available to all employees through a second round of COVID-19 federal funds dispersed to the College in late 2020.
