SLCC Alumnus Keith Bryce Wins Week 5 Project Runway Challenge

Keith Bryce, former SLCC business student and owner of a high-end boutique Filthy Gorgeous, won the "Lipstick Jungle" challenge of Project Runway. Brook Shields will wear his design on an episode of NBC's "Lipstick Jungle" next season as a reward.

The SLCC Alumni Association is so excited for Keith! We wish him the best of luck in the upcoming episodes. Whatever happens, Keith will definitely be our favorite designer.

Distinguished Alumni Named for 2007-2008 School Year

The SLCC Alumni Association named Neal Grover and Teresa Ibarra-Ramirez as 2007-2008 Distinguished Alumni.

Mr. Grover has been with SLCC for 50 years. He began at the Salt Lake Area Vocational School in 1958 as a student and is now one of SLCC's most respected professors.

Ms. Ibarra-Ramirez's faith in education qualified her for this award. Her compelling story represents a large population of current SLCC students. As a single parent, she saw how education would enable her to provide a better life for her family.

To nominate an SLCC Alum to be a distinguished alum, please email the Alumni Association or call (801) 957-4838.

Get Your SLCC License Plate

Commuters can now replace their generic license plates for a plate emblazoned with the vintage SLCC logo. The SLCC plates identify the driver as someone who supports the only comprehensive community college in the Intermountain West. Moreover, the license plates represent a quality education, lifelong memories, and connections with classmates and teachers. In addition, the $25 annual donation does more than connect the driver to the school. It goes the Alumni Association Scholarship fund to assist current and future students to get the start they need and deserve.

To find out more about how to get an SLCC license plate, visit http://dmv.utah.gov/license.html
