STEP this week 8/31-9/4

Hello STEP Students!

We hope you are enjoying the beginning of the semester. We have a few announcements this week:

1. If you didn’t make it to the Fall Kickoff, please stop by the office to pick up a goodie bag with valuable information about the fall semester, a calendar of events, a tutoring schedule, and other surprises.
2. Please make sure you fill out a STEP Program Evaluation ASAP if you haven’t already done so. We utilize student feedback to improve the program and we value your input. Stop by the STEP office to fill one out or let me know if you would like me to send you the evaluation via email.
3. Don’t forget to sign up for Maricopa Gmail. Remember, SMCC and Maricopa Community College will start to utilize the “official” Maricopa Gmail as the primary means of communication. If you don’t have Maricopa Gmail, you could be missing important information about financial aid, registration, etc. For more information about Maricopa Gmail, see the STEP blog, www.stepsmcc.blogspot.com
4. Mark your calendar! The Calculator Workshop will be on Wednesday, September 9 at 1 p.m., location to be announced. This is one of the most popular workshops we hold every semester and this is the only time we will offer it. This workshop is not listed on the Fall Events Calendar we handed out at the Kickoff. Please make sure you save the date.
5. We are now taking sign-ups for our cultural events this semester: Legally Blonde 9/24, The Latina Women’s Conference 10/1-10/2, Phantom of the Opera 11/19, and The Nutcracker 12/17. We are also accepting reservations for the Campus Tours. See the STEP Fall Events Calendar for dates. Please stop by the office to complete field trip paperwork to secure your spot! Remember, all trips are first-come, first-served.

Have a great week!
