STEP this week 8/30-9/3

Hello STEP Students,

Welcome back! We have a few announcements for this week:

  • If you did not make it to the Kickoff Lunch last week or you had to leave early, we will be posting the PowerPoint presentations on the STEP Blog stepsmcc.blogspot.com. Also, please be sure you stop by the office to pick up a packet with the schedule of events for the semester and other important information.
  • Grant Aid is available this semester. Grant Aid is available for STEP students who are currently receiving a Pell Grant. It is additional money that you can use for educationally related expenses in the Spring 2011 semester. Applications are available in the STEP Office. If you have never applied for Grant Aid before, you will have to go over the application process with a staff member (Sylvia, Laura, Sianna or Ruben). We strongly encourage all eligible students to apply!
  • This Friday is the first St. Mary’s Food Bank community service opportunity. Students will meet in front of the PAC at 11 am to help with food distribution. Make sure you sign in when you get there to get credit for STEP. This event counts toward the requirements for Grant Aid.
  • Field trip forms are now available. If you are interested in attending any of the campus visits, Broadway shows, or the Hispanic Women’s Conference, please stop by to fill out the paperwork and secure your spot.
  • The STEP Office will be closed Monday, September 6 in observance of Labor Day.

Have a great week!
