学生充实中心 Provides Essential Services to SAC Students

圣安东尼奥学院 has a new center to help students with resources needed outside the classroom. The 学生充实中心 has been created to help students with Career Services, 从实践经验中学习, and the 第一年的经验.

“We are focused on providing students with the best experiences to help them reach their personal and professional goals,” said Sabrina Macal-Polasek, team leader for the 学生充实中心. “Our hope is to provide an environment that delivers resources and support that students need.”

The 学生充实中心 is now home to Career Services, previously part of the Transfer and Career Center, 也被称为TRAC. The Enrichment Center offers career appointments, workshops, and career resources. Students can learn job interviewing skills, receive help in writing a resume, or attend career fairs with local companies held in the fall and spring semesters.

The center can also help with experiential learning, giving students a grasp of how skills learned in a classroom can be used in a career field. Experiential learning includes internships, practicums, and job shadowing. It also contains service learning or community service components, such as working at a food pantry or volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. Co-curricular learning and extra-curricular activities can also be part of experiential learning.

And the center helps new students acclimate to college life with the 第一年的经验 (FYE). This includes My SAC Journey, a website that provides new students a series of goals to teach them the skillsets they need to be successful in college. My SAC Journey also provides resources to help new students as they begin their college career. FYE also provides specific events and resources to first-generation in college students. In addition, FYE organizes workshops to help students navigate their way through academic life.

Macal-Polasek wants students to know the 学生充实中心 is there for them.  “If students feel lost or don’t know where to find the resources they need, reach out to us and we can assist,”她说。. “We want to help them navigate campus and thrive here and beyond.”
