Student Success Act Implementation
Kuni Hay, Stephanie Kashima, and Victoria Hindes
With the passage of the Student Success Act (SB1456), the college developed an integrated framework among three core committees who identified common threads in their work that ensured student success.

Assisting the Distressed Student
George Mageles
The probability of your engagement with a distressed student on campus increases each semester. The growing demands and obstacles of obtaining a college education often combine with the day-to-day challenges of life in the Bay Area to create highly stressful situations for our students. In this session, we will explore some of these challenges and how they combined to cause student distress. We will discuss how the student presents in distress, how to assess for safety, and how to assist and/or find assistance for the student. This session will be appropriate and beneficial for anyone who comes in contact with students in any campus environment - from the classroom to the office to the pathways and open gathering areas of our campus.
