Mission Statement
To serve SJCC students through a Black and Brown Latinx-centered holistic approach in a welcoming, humanizing, and validating environment.
Vision Statement
At the METAS Center, we envision a dynamic space where Latinx-affirming events, student support programs, Summer Bridge, converge to co-create knowledge with SJCC students, guide them through college, and open doors to limitless possibilities.
Campus Scenes
We encourage you to visit the METAS Center in the Multi-Disciplinary Building (Room M-104). Here, students have a welcoming and friendly learning environment. Our services include:
- PEER LED TEAM LEARNING (Spring 2024 Schedule)
- SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION (Spring 2024 Schedule)
- ACADEMIC COUNSELING
- SUMMER BRIDGE 2023 Recap
The SJCC METAS Center was established through a U.S. Department of Education Title V grant and is open to all San José City College students.
The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program (referred to as Title V: HSI) assists eligible Hispanic-Serving Institutions to expand their capacity to serve Latinx and low-income students.
