Student success is the fundamental goal of SMHEC institutions. We provide programs to support our students and local K-12 districts, and we provide support for effective pedagogy.

SMHEC institutions seek to optimize their effectiveness by collaborating on purchases and sharing resources.

Chicago's Southland is our home. A vast majority of our students come from this region, and they stay in our region. We must contribute to the vibrance and strength of the region to provide for our shared future.
