could benefit from additional support. I am not an expert regarding___________, but I know of
someone who does know about that here at SJCC who works with students just like
yourself. Here is her contact information elisse.reyna@sjcc.edu. I am going to follow-up with you next week to see how you are doing, and if you had a chance to contact her. I am also
going to submit an electronic referral
to her so she can contact you as well. ”
