Attention LACC, LATTC and LACC Students: SCholars Program Campus Visits

Dear LACC, LATTC and ELAC Students:

I am pleased to announce our Fall Workshop and Peer Advisor (Office Hour) schedule. Please find a brief description of each event below:

Workshop #1: Introduction to Transfer

This is an opportunity to get a quick overview of the transfer process. This not only pertains to USC, but gives a general overview of the transfer process for public, private, and out-of-state colleges/universities. This workshop is best suited for students who want to understand the concept of transferring, differences between certain colleges/universities, requirements, benefits, choosing a university, and the process of applying.

Workshop #2: Personal Statement Writing

This workshop is designed for students who need assistance in writing their personal statement. It is designed for students who are starting from scratch in their personal statement quest. We will cover brainstorming, outlining, drafting and peer review. Most importantly, we will cover the importance of the theme in asserting the overall purpose of the essay and make sure you present your best self! Students applying to any UC, Private or out-of-state colleges are welcome.

Peer Advisor (Office Hour) Appointments- *appointments needed*

These are 20 minute appointments to go over any questions you may have about the transfer process. These sessions can be used to go over your personal statement or application. Participants are asked to come to the appointment as prepared as possible to maximize the appointment time. APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE BY CALLING THE RESPECTIVE TRANSFER CENTER WHERE THEY ARE BEING HELD.
