SSC Employees Recognized at Statewide Conferences

Three Seminole State College employees were honored last week at conferences hosted by the Oklahoma Association of Community Colleges. Each year, OACC’s member institutions select three employees to honor – a professional staff member, a faculty member and a support staff member. Talent Search Advisor Angela Harjo was named the Outstanding Professional Staff Member of the Year, Political Science Professor Jeffrey Christiansen was named the Faculty Member of the Year and Social Sciences and Language Arts Office Manager Tina Morris was named the Support Staff Member of the Year for SSC.

Harjo and Christiansen were honored Oct. 28 at the 54th Annual OACC Conference held at the Rose State College Student Union. The event featured dozens of breakout sessions both in-person and available via live stream. Lansing Community College President Steve Robinson gave the keynote address.
