CFCC English Department to host Alumna and Author S.C. Porter for reading and discussion

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) – Cape Fear Community College will welcome CFCC alumnus S.C. Porter, author, poet, and small-business owner, for An Evening with  S.C. Porter on Wednesday, February 25th. The event will go from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Union Station Auditorium on the Downtown Campus. The event is free, and open to students, faculty, staff and community members.

Porter first attended CFCC before transferring to UNCW, and has built a remarkable creative career  rooted in the local community. After years working in mental health and raising her family, she began selling books from her one-bedroom apartment, which eventually grew into Porter. Co. Book Shoppe in Topsail Beach.

She has published five books in the poetry and fiction genres, and will release her sixth book this month.

The event will be hosted by CFCC’s English Department, will feature a reading from Porter’s work followed by a discussion and an audience Q&A.

“Bringing S.C. back to campus gives our students a chance to see what’s possible when creative passion meets determination,” said Cheryl Saba, CFCC English Instructor. “Her story, from CFCC student to successful author and small business owner, will inspire our campus community.”
