Our mission is to provide students FAMILIA – Family, Acceptance, Mentoring, Inspiration, Learning, Inclusion, and Advancement. We reach out to our students before their first day of class and provide an award winning website that includes a resource video library that is continuously improving and expanding. Our Peer Mentors call first time in college students to welcome them and answer any questions they may have from a fellow student’s perspective. The Peer Mentors continue their outreach throughout the students’ first year. The official induction into the SPC family is Tiger Nation Family Day (TNFD), which happens on the Friday before classes begin. TNFD is designed to introduce students to college leadership, highlight college programs, and services, and motivate students to BELIEVE * COMMIT* COMPLETE. During the first week of classes, students are welcomed with an assortment of campus activities, such as scavenger hunts and mixers, that allow them to build a social network and get connected with the campus community. The year-long programming includes workshops and activities facilitated by different departments such as Financial Literacy, The Tutoring and Technology Center, the Career Experience Team, and Advocacy Services. The year concludes with an End of the First Year Banquet, a time for students to celebrate the completion of their first year in college, their resilience, and all of their accomplishments. The First Year Experience program aims to launch students into their careers and/or second year of studies feeling resilient, confident, and like they belong.

The Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) Career Talk Series initiative features events with guest speakers representing multiple fields of study within the Social and Behavioral Sciences department umbrella. The talks are not limited to students who take classes within the SBS Department, but rather are open to students throughout the college.
In this initiative, guest speakers share their past experiences as college students and discuss their journeys toward their current careers. During the presentations, students have the opportunity to engage with the guest speakers to ask questions and gain more insight into careers that may have previously been unknown to them.
The SBS Career Talk events have been implemented and supported by the entire SBS department, with each discipline providing guest speakers and instructors to help facilitate the events. The events are promoted by each discipline of the SBS Department as well as the college so that students taking classes outside of the SBS department are encouraged to attend the Career Talk events. Attending these events allows the students to earn participation credit they can use on their Alamo Experience transcripts.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format.
PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)
