Support for you
Student Hours
I am here to help you! I strongly encourage you to come to Student Hours at least once this semester. Student hours are for you to talk about the class, get help with assignments, ask questions, or otherwise get one-on-one help. You can also just stop by to tell me what's going well for you with the class and what you don't understand or are having any problems with.
Student Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:45pm - 4:45pm, LRC Room 340
I'm happy to arrange another time to meet individually before or after class or on Zoom. Just let me know a few days and times that work for you!
You can reach me by messaging me through the Canvas app or at jkagawa@vcccd.edu, or you can leave a voicemail or text message at 805-626-0168. If you contact me Monday-Friday, I will get back to you within 24 hours (usually much sooner).
Check out all the wonderful resources below to help you learn, get food, take care of your mental health, and more. Please let me know if you're having any trouble getting in touch with any of the below resources and I will help as much as I can!
