SANKOFA: Academic and Student Support Services
for all Merritt College Students
See article and photos HERE from SANKOFA’s first annual Thanksgiving appreciation lunch!
SANKOFA is an exciting initiative at Merritt College. Although the primary focus of the program is on the achievement of African-American students, Sankofa’s services are open to all students who desire the nurturing services offered by the program. The emphasis of the program is successful completion of English, mathematics, science, and information technology courses, while at the same time assisting students in exploring STEM disciplines and other subject areas as they prepare for their careers.
Sankofa will assist students in the development of Student Educational Plans (SEPs), selection of courses, addressing personal concerns, and connecting students to support services across the Merritt campus.
