South Campus Premiere Day 2014
The South Campus FYE and student life departments recently hosted Premiere Day 2014. Faculty, staff, and FYE orientation leaders met with the group of new students talking about their own first experiences at the College, what to expect, study tips, and more. FYE orientation leaders also lead teams of students around campus for the Premiere Day Scavenger Hunt. Students were given clues to find objects around campus, giving them a more fun way to explore the campus prior to the semester start. Thanks to FYE and student life for another great Premiere Day event!

I have a group of about 12 who I think might be interested in attending. Is there a limit on the number of students that can participate? The students will be from Channelview and Galena Park High School.

The U.S. Secretary of Labor visits San Jacinto College
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez recently visited San Jacinto College where students and graduates showcased their skills in the areas of process technology, nursing, instrumentation, and cybersecurity. The Secretary’s visit was part of a nationwide tour to see workforce training in various regions and to discuss issues regarding the economy and moving more workers into high-demand fields. Part of the San Jacinto College visit included tours and discussions of the training students have received, thanks to assistance from the Healthcare Pathways grant and the Technology Training for Tomorrow (IT3) grant, which were both awarded from the Department of Labor.
