By approval of SCO’s Board of Trustees and faculty, retired SCO Professor Dr. Glen Steele was named Professor Emeritus in recognition of his record 53 years of service on SCO’s faculty.
Delivering the commencement address and receiving the honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree was Marty Regan, SCO’s longtime legal counsel who has advised the college since 1985.
