Since the establishment of South Plains College (SPC), the focus of the university has been on the betterment of the student. While many aspects of life have changed since 1957, the college's focus has not. Increasing the capacity of the individual to learn, produce, and be enlightened has always been the focus. To be the first community college in the history to participate in a program such as the University Innovation Fellows Program is something that we take pride in.
South Plains College has continued to grow by adding satellite campuses including; Reese Technology Center, Plainview Center, and Lubbock Center. Innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) are not a new concept to SPC, but we have yet to have a catalyst to grow this culture of I&E. With its roots firmly planted in the sense of community, South Plains College is centered on changing to suit the needs and opportunities of the community. Grants and contracts are available to students and faculty in order to pursue projects and research. in In 2017, the Math and Engineering department secured was able to open a grant and intoduced the MakerSpace to be used maker space for collaboration amoung all studentsto use inside the math building.
