St. Cloud Bids Farewell to SCTCC President Joyce Helens, CentraCare Donates $500K to College

ST. CLOUD -- Students, staff and the St. Cloud community came together Tuesday evening to say goodbye to St. Cloud Technical and Community College President Joyce Helens.

Helens has been the SCTCC President since 2006. She announced in April she'd be resigning from her position to take over as President at Great Basin College in Nevada. Helens says serving as president has been an honor and the best part about her job was listening to students who were willing to share their story.

"I've always stayed in touch with students, no matter where we are or what we are doing, to able to say how are you doing, what's happening, and hear those stories, I repeat those stories all the time. Because they are heartfelt, they are students who maybe thought they weren't college material and they are brilliant."

Helens says the students have made everything possible at SCTCC. She says without their dedication the campus would not continue to grow.
