Suffolk County Community College (Also referred to as SUNY Suffolk or SCCC) is a public community college located in Suffolk County, on Long Island in New York state. It is one of 64 institutions within the State University of New York.

History
Suffolk was founded in 1959. Albert Ammerman, an administrator at Dearborn Junior College, was recruited to be the college's first president, and went on to serve in the possition until 1983. A former tuberculosis sanitarium in Selden was to become the school's campus, but until construction at that site was was complete, classes were held at Sachem High School. The college initially had 13 faculty and 503 students. The Selden campus, later renamed after Ammerman, opened in 1962 and made use of several former sanitarium buildings, including the morgue. Under Ammerman's direction, Suffolk County Community College opened two new campuses in Riverhead and Brentwood by 1977.
