Learning Resource Center Unveiled in Brentwood<\/span>
\nThis past fall, Suffolk County Community College opened its new $30 million, nearly 75,000-square-foot Learning Resource Center (LRC) on the Michael J. Grant Campus in Brentwood. It includes a lecture hall, computer classrooms, writing and reading centers, tutoring rooms, glass-enclosed group study rooms, an outdoor roof garden and a green roof with vegetation. \u201cThe new Learning Resource Center will serve as a powerful symbol of the value that the College and its students bring to the vitality of our shared community,\u201d says Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Success Doesn\u2019t Stop for Summer<\/span>
\n Summer Sessions at Suffolk allow college students to build on what they\u2019ve been learning while moving towards the fast-track to graduation. Studies even show that students who take classes year-round are three times more likely to graduate. High school students can also get a jump start by taking summer classes at Suffolk before starting college. Suffolk\u2019s credits transfer to SUNY schools, as well as many private four-year colleges and universities. For more about earning college credits during Suffolk\u2019s Summer Sessions, please call 631-451-4111 or visit sunysuffolk.edu\/summersessions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
