President's Message

President Cook standing with hands in pockets

Allow me to offer a warm and enthusiastic welcome to Springfield Technical Community College.

As STCC begins our 55th year with resolve from all corners of the college, together we live our vital mission of helping students transform their lives. The college remains a special and essential institution in Western Massachusetts, with exceptional programs that matter to families, communities, and employers. We continue to be a leader in many areas that include allied health, manufacturing, engineering, and information technology. With our status as the only technical community college in Massachusetts, we offer a truly unique array of programs including seamless and affordable transfer opportunities. I invite you to learn more about how our dedicated faculty and staff are supporting students who #STCC To Their Plan.  Whether you are a new or returning student, a parent or partner, a proud alum, or an invested community member, you know the importance of “technical” and “community” in our name. As a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution; as a collaborator with area employers; as a partner with our sister institutions; and as the only community college in the Commonwealth co-located with the National Park Service, we are excited for the year ahead, even as we contend with the impact of COVID-19.

Please stay safe, take good care, and reach out to us so we can learn more about your educational goals.

Sincerely,
John B. Cook, Ph.D.
President
