Project Purpose

Briefly describe your project, event, or activity.

The Multicultural Center (MC) needs money for gear to incentivize students to complete their credit milestones and for Phins up. Production of these items below are cheaper when bought in bulk so it makes more sense to order them together rather than two different grants.
The phins up program will be a new program to help provide support for students who are high risk to not complete their degrees. These students will be identified by the large amount students who go through the MC center for short-term loans who are either 1st quarter students and/or students who have a 2.0 or below, and all of the work study students in the MC center will be participants. We will also monitor and target the students who are in the RSO groups that are relevant to the MC mission. There will be ceremonies held twice a quarter to honor the students from the previous quarter since grades are not out until after ceremony. We do not want to make students wait an entire quarter to be recognized for their success. This program will provide students with the skillsets to navigate and get support (academic, civically, or career wise) at SCC.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Describe how your proposed expenditure reflects the purpose of your club/organization, how it will directly benefit students, and what advantages there are for the college as a whole. Please choose from one of theCAS domains and dimensions.

The Multicultural Center (MC) serves underrepresented student populations. The MC is ordering incentives to build the retention of students for our SOCC and Phins up program. Phins up students will be identified as students who have a GPA under 2.0 or first quarter students. We will award students when they reached mile markers in their programs. These markers will be quantitative symbolic reasoning, english proficiency, first 15 credits completed, and first 30 credits completed. This gear will be a great way to market to the students about the MC and make them feel a part of our college campus and culture.The gear will be used as an incentive for promotion of constructing knowledge. People will be able to visibly identify SCC students and promote identity development and meaningful relationships while at the students of color conference. The MC will have quarterly ceremonies to recognize success within the population that the MC serves. Students will develop intrapersonal development by building self-esteem and confidence as a student when their success is recognized by SCC .Without the incentives the MC has brought in about 30-35 people in the past and with the incentives we provide we are expecting to surpass this number.
