Equity and Equal Opportunity


We are fortunate to live in a country that was shaped and continues to be seasoned by many different cultures in a time when understanding other world views broadens personal development and is essential to professional success.

This rich diversity is seen throughout the SCF family. Our students and employees come from some 50 countries, and as you roam our campuses you will hear wonderfully distinctive accents in classrooms, on athletic fields, and in faculty and staff offices.

Thank you for your dedication to making SCF an exceptional place of learning and for joining in this commitment to diversity.
