Institutions will last long if they can find ways to adapt to students' needs, not the other way around. On both local and state levels educators can transform their services to align with student's goals and new ideas of success. Today, our host Salvatrice Cummo, will help us learn more about the Pasadena City College campus by focusing on the different student services available at The Student Services Division. She's joined by Dr. Brenda Ivelisse, the VP of Student Services at PCC, who as a transformative educational leader has made it her priority to provide resources to students so they can reach their goals. Dr. Ivelisse will cover the power of community and which programs have really made a change in her student's lives. Discover how to continue closing the equity gap and begin empowering students to tap into their voices and express their true needs.
