As we will learn in this class, humans are social creatures who only succeed with the support of others for many things throughout life. Every one of us needs help at some point. I may not have all the answers or be able to provide the exact help you need at times myself, but I will always assist you in accessing the appropriate support and resources you need. Please message me any time you are feeling anxious, nervous, unsure, lost, or frustrated about this class, or college/life in general. Make sure to check out the Campus Life Services for some awesome FREE resources that have been proven to increase success for students at Sacramento City College.

Sacramento City College is committed to providing a safe learning environment, free of harassment and discrimination as described in District policies found on our website. It is my goal that you feel you can share information related to your life experiences in classroom discussions, in your written work, and in our one-on-one meetings, and I will seek to keep information you share private to the greatest extent possible. However, I am required to share information about incidents of gender based discrimination, violence and harassment with the College’s Title IX Coordinator so that students receive the best information possible regarding appropriate services and resources. If you would rather share information about sexual harassment, sexual violence or discrimination to a confidential employee, who does not have this required responsibility, call a WEAVE campus advocate at (916) 568-3011.
WEAVE (Sacramento County) is wonderful resource.
Did you know that the law prohibits schools that receive federal funds from discriminating against students because of pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, or recovery from these? Schools, like Sacramento City College, must ensure equal treatment. As a pregnant or parenting student, you have the right to an equal education. You have the right to participate and to have your pregnancy-related absences excused. Sacramento City College is committed to the success of our pregnant and parenting students. Please communicate with me if I can support you in any way.
