SMCC invites students, faculty and staff, as well as our South Portland neighbors, to an inaugural event on Dec. 4 that we hope will be the first of many.
We will host an outdoor get-together to mark the first-ever lighting of SMCC’s “Tree of Light.” To celebrate the season and provide a symbol of peace through the cold winter months, we are hanging white lights on the tower that stands between the Captain’s House and Harborview, on Fort Road.
We’ll share some hot chocolate and treats, roast a few marshmallows over a fire, hear a few thoughts about peace, and pause to enjoy the warmth of community. Please feel free to bring family and friends – the more, the merrier!
Date: Tuesday, Dec. 4
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Where: Lawn area by Construction Technology – 65 Fort Road
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Where: Lawn area by Construction Technology – 65 Fort Road
Dress warmly!
P.S. – In true SMCC style, our “tree” will be sustainable thanks to design and construction done by our college’s experts: energy-efficient LED lights will be connected to batteries charged by a solar array.

Student Leader Profile
Each edition of the CeSIL Report will feature a profile of one of SMCC's amazing student leaders. Recently we caught up with Andrew Ballantyne to ask him our student leader spotlight questions.
What are you involved in on campus? Engineering Design Club, Math League and VP of Administration of Phi Theta Kappa.
Why did you get involved?
I had the idea that the more involved I was on campus the more driven I would be to stay in school, be more organized and be a more productive person.
What are your long-term goals and how do you think your involvement helps this? My long term goals are to trans to a 4 year college and receive a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering. My involvement has helped me be more organized and focused on my goals.
Who is the person that inspires you and why?
Dr. Seuss, Theodore Geisel because when I was a kid my mother signed me up for a program where I got a Dr. Suess book every month. This helped me become more interested in reading and sparked my creativity and love of learning.
