Empowerment Center

The Empowerment Center will be closed for SAC Scores Day on Friday, February 23, 2024. SAC Scores Day is a time for the college to undertake a comprehensive review and evaluate our goals and strategic planning.  

College offices will be closed to allow faculty and staff to collaborate during this day. However, there will be limited services available for advising (MLC) , enrollment (FAB) and at the Student Advocacy Center.
