Grossmont College's Adult Reentry Center offers free workshops every semester to welcome adult students, who for a variety of reasons, may have put off their dreams and goals of an education. Workshop attendees will find information and speakers to provide a support network designed to make the transition into college easier. Participants who apply for admission during the workshop will receive priority registration and have an earlier choice of classes. Fall semester classes begin August 21, 2000. Our adult reentry student is usually very successful,'' said Maxwynne Colley, coordinator of the Adult Reentry Center.
Students make a fresh start when they choose to attend college.
Reentry students come from different backgrounds including high school dropouts, displaced homemakers and veterans. Others return to retrain for a new career or to resume their college education after raising a family. A panel of students and graduates will share their triumphant stories and discuss how they realized their own potential through education. Workshop participants are sure to identify with at least one of the speakers whose life experiences are as varied as the individuals. For more information, or to sign up for the workshop, please call the Adult Reentry Center at 644-7697.
