SFCC Announces Treaka Young as Jefferson City Campus Director

State Fair Community College is pleased to announce Treaka Young as the SFCC-Jefferson City campus director.

SFCC and Lincoln University formed a partnership in April 2023 that created the SFCC-LU Connect Blue concurrent enrollment program on LU’s campus.

SFCC and LU’s Connect Blue program allows students to be admitted to both SFCC and LU simultaneously, giving them the opportunity to experience both two-year and four-year college life. SFCC students can take courses at LU for a reduced rate while fully immersing themselves in the university campus life, including living on campus and joining campus organizations. Students can work toward an SFCC associate’s degree and an LU bachelor degree at the same time.
