¡Raíces: First Year and Beyond!
First-year experience and student empowerment program at SBCC that centers Latiné students by celebrating Cultura, Conocimiento y Comunidad.
Our Origin/Nuestro Origen
¡Raíces: First Year and Beyond! was developed by a $3 million Title V HSI Grant awarded to SBCC in October 2021 by the U.S. Department of Education. SBCC was first recognized as an Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in March 2011. HSIs are degree-granting colleges or universities whose student population is 25% or more Hispanic.
As of Fall 2023, SBCC serves 41.6% students who identify as Hispanic. These funds are meant to support the development of specific projects to increase degree or certificate completion for Latine and/or low-income student populations.

Through developing curriculum and a pedagogy that affirms student voice, lived experiences and cultural histories, this program strives to co-create a space with students to become thriving scholars and advocates for themselves and their communities.
Our Vision/Nuestra Visión
