Please leave the main campus in Wadley. Being in a bigger city isn't always better.

As a resident of Randolph County, former student of both the Opelika and Wadley campuses, former ambassador for Southern Union State Community College, and an alumni of SUSCC, I do not think that SUSCC’s main campus title, funds, and programs should be changed. This shift would be detrimental to not only revenue in Randolph County but also a large loss in jobs of those affected by the revenue and transportation changes. Changing the main campus to Opelika would also lose many students on scholarships from North East Alabama which would cause a loss to the college as well. Although, the biggest loss by changing the main campus to Opelika would be the hidden gem of Wadley, Alabama’s SUSCC campus. This is a beautiful campus that I would hate to see lost in time to most Alabamians because of a change such as this.

The history of this college is immersed in Wadley. There is no good reason to change!

Southern Union desperately needs a visionary president to lead, unify and bring academic and economic success to all communities served.

I served as an Interim President at SUSCC for almost 6 years. There is a president's office in Wadley and Opelika. I had no problem splitting my time between campuses. There are full-time administrators on each campus and the College has run this way effectively for several decades. The System Office mail goes to Wadley as it is considered the main campus, but other than a change in where mail would be delivered, I see little change in how the College would run if the main campus designation was changed. Opelika is a wonderful city and SUSCC is of vital importance for economic growth. It has been and always will be that to Lee County. Wadley has been the main campus for some 95 years and there is much to be said for tradition, the support, and the people of Randolph County have given to their beloved Southern Union. I see little to be gained in changing the main campus designation.

Wadley is my home, as it is for so many others. Please don’t take that away from us.

Leave the main campus where it has always been. Leave it for tradition. Leave it for its proven track record. Leave it for the continued accessible higher education for the rural communities surrounding it. Leave it for Wadley, and the plethora of negative impacts that moving it will have on our community. Leave it in Wadley because it's the right thing to do.
