#100DaysSLCC Kick Off: Who the Bleep is that Sheep?

SLCC’s Academic and Career Advising office is “coming of age” with a brand new career exploration social media campaign!  #100DaysSLCC will kick off the “100 Days of Career Exploration” where students can explore major options in a fun and interactive way.  The yearly mascot, following the Chinese Zodiac, begins with Peep the Sheep. Follow along on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Blogspot to see what Peep is up to and learn about the various programs and resources that are offered at the college.  Peep and the campaign will debut during Welcome Week for Fall 2015 and continue through the Fall and Spring semesters. Even though it’s the year of the sheep, don’t be afraid to break away from the flock. Join our 100 Days of Career Exploration and choose a major and career path!  http://www.slcc.edu/academicadvising/index.aspx

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs.

To be eligible for CPL, students must be working towards a degree, certificate, or apprenticeship. Director of Credit for Prior Learning at SLCC, Andrea Tipton, mentioned fee...
