Aspire

Aspire is a dynamic program designed to provide essential educational support and services to increase the academic success, retention, degree completion, and transfer rates of African-American and other students enrolled at Mt. San Antonio College. We accomplish this through monthly workshops, academic counseling, and learning communities. Our aim is to develop a sense of “community” among African-American students, other students, faculty, staff and administrators.

Aspire provides:

• MOTIVATION by offering inspirational workshops and events throughout the semester
• CONNECTION to campus resources including Counseling, Career and Transfer services, Financial Aid, and other support services
• ACADEMIC HELP through study groups, tutoring, and learning communities
• CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING by providing educational forums and events that reflect and discuss African-American culture and history

Students in the Aspire program are required to:

• Be currently enrolled at MT. SAC
• Meet with the Aspire Coordinator for an Aspire Orientation
• Meet with an Aspire Counselor once per semester
• Attend at least one Aspire Event per semester
