The SLA is a program open to all TSC students that are currently enrolled. Once a student enters the SLA, they participate in a 10-week program that includes workshops and community service.<\/p>\n

The workshops are designed to help SLA students develop and enhance interpersonal communication skills in the workplace and everyday life. In addition, participants undergo 20 hours of community service to reinforce ties within the community.<\/p>\n

“A lot of students come in and have no work experience,” said TSC Student Development Specialist Virginia Sandoval. “Through SLA, they get the chance to network with other students that have similar interests. They also learn about leadership opportunities and how to be a leader on-and-off campus.”<\/p>\n

Fourteen students graduated SLA with a new set of skills and received certificates of completion.<\/p>\n

“We learned about diversity, how to treat others, communicating with a team, and how to be an effective leader,” said SLA graduate T.J. Gutierrez. “What I learned in SLA will be of great help in the future.”<\/p>\n
