SC4 welcomes NJCAA athletes, NCAA coaches to campus for recruitment event
St. Clair County Community College (SC4) welcomed 15 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) men’s and women’s basketball teams from across Michigan, Ohio and Illinois to the SC4 Fieldhouse this month to play in front of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) coaches. The event is one of just five similar events taking place across the country aimed at recruiting NJCAA players to four-year college and university teams.
“Many talented NJCAA players—Skippers included—continue on, excelling on and off the court at four-year institutions and professionally,” said SC4 Athletic Director Dale Vos. “This event provides a great opportunity for both athletes and coaches to discover matches and paths they may not have known to pursue previously.”
Participating teams represented NJCAA Region 4, 12 and 24.

Nurse – Lake Huron Medical Center
How did SC4 help prepare you?
I received a wealth of knowledge from some amazing professors/teachers to attain my nursing degree. We are blessed to have a fine institution like SC4 right here in Port Huron.
What do you like most about what you do professionally?
I enjoy helping others. Nursing is a very personal profession. You have to gain someone’s trust quickly so they can receive the proper care. Listening is a huge part of what I do. I am not the expert, the patient is. They know how their body works and I must listen when they speak. Then I can offer and recommend solutions. It is definitely a partnership.
