Honor the Past. Empower the Present. ✊🏾✨

Juneteenth marks a powerful moment in history- June 19, 1865- when enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free, more than two years after emancipation was declared. It’s a day of reflection, celebration, and continued commitment to equity.

At South Seattle College, we center Juneteenth as a time for awareness and empowerment: honoring resilience, uplifting Black voices, and coming together as a community.

Today, we celebrate through conversation and connection. Let’s learn from the past, reflect on the present, and continue building a more equitable future, together.

🖤💛❤️

Tomorrow's the big day, Otter Graduates!!! Are you ready?!

We're gearing up for the celebration of the year with Commencement 2026 at UW's Alaska Airlines Arena. We can't wait to watch our Otter take the stage and own their hard work in real time as they take steps into their next chapter.

It's going to be a blast!

Yesterday was a special day on campus. We celebrated the service of our colleagues- some of them working at South for 35 years!

All told, the staff and faculty who were celebrated have a combined 650 years of service!

That is something we are otterly proud of!

Special thanks to South's president, Dr. Monica Brown and Seattle Colleges District Chancellor Rosie for bookending a fun event of celebration and acknowledgement of our incredible Otter colleagues!
