We’re starting off the academic year with a beautiful campus, thousands of eager learners, and high hopes for the future. Students, whatever your goal is please remember that ELAC is your college, and faculty, staff, and administration are here to support and nurture you. Completing your academic goals is top priority for us at ELAC and I know that everyone of you can earn a certificate or transfer to a top university. For those who are first-time college students, there will be a period of adjustment as you learn to approach your education as an adult. That includes assuming responsibility for your time management. Regular class attendance is important, as is keeping up with your academic work. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether academic or personal. Your professor and/or academic counselor is your best source for academic assistance. For emotional or physical challenges, please seek help from the campus health center in F-5. Your health fee covers these services, so take advantage if you need them. There is nothing wrong with needing to talk to someone. Well-qualified tutors stand ready to help you in the Math Tutoring Center and the Learning Assistance Center. I encourage you to establish a pattern of using these centers early and often. Our mission statement says: East Los Angeles College empowers students to achieve their educational goals, to expand their individual potential, and to successfully pursue their aspirations for a better future for themselves, their community and the world. Take pride in being apart of the ELAC community and remember to give back to your communities so others can follow in your footsteps. All of us want nothing but the best for you and remember that you are a part of one of the best community colleges in the nation! Again, welcome and have a wonderful semester.
