ENROLL FALL 2024

AVANZANDO: A STEM LEARNING COMMUNITY

Hello,   SRJC is proud to announce an opportunity for students interested in pursuing a STEM major in college. This year, SRJC has created a learning community where we link transfer level English and Math courses for one academic year with additional support. For students to excel, we understand they need a strong foundation; therefore, by participating in the Avanzando STEM learning community, students will have an academic counselor who will help participants from enrollment to program completion. This means students will receive help selecting classes, finding money for college, and exploring transfer options. In addition, this program will provide academic support by having a Peer Assisted Learner (PALS) in the classroom, and students will have the opportunity to receive stipends for meeting program requirements.   Fall 2014 Avanzando STEM Learning Community Schedule:  Math 25  section 2008 M W 1:30pm-3:30pm English 1A section 0110, T Th 11:00am-1:00pm  Counseling 60-section 2013, W 9:00-11:00am     If you are a student interested in STEM, this program would be the first stepping stone to a rewarding career in the sciences. We are looking for first-generation college students who are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences.     Attached is a program flyer with a QR code the student can scan. After scanning the QR code, the student will complete a brief interest form that I will use to follow up with students. Space is limited to ensure we dedicate the time to each student.

COMM 2:PERFORMANCE AS COMMUNICATION

COMM 2: PERFORMANCE AS COMMUNICATION Sec. 1990 I Starts: September 10 |  TTH 12-1:30PM | Dr. Joshua Hamzehee I Garcia Hall 100. PROSE. DRAMA. POETRY. How are acting and living both performances? How can the stage inform everyday life, and vice-versa? What makes "bad" performance? Who says what is "good?" How we answer these questions tells us about societal accessibility, human empathy, and the communicative power of embodying texts. This class explores storytelling, poetic rhythm and slam, drama and character, unconventional texts (like found stuff, six word stories, comics, noises), and what happens when we break the rules and play.
