Trauma-Informed Training for Higher Education hosted by Transitional Studies

Open to All Faculty, Staff, and Administrators

Transitional Studies invites all faculty, staff, and administrators to join us for a Trauma-Informed Training aimed at fostering supportive and inclusive learning environments for all students, particularly those who have experienced trauma. Understanding trauma and its impact is essential in creating spaces where every student can thrive academically and personally.

With extensive experience in community-based research and public health, Dr. Andrasik is currently the lead Behavioral Scientist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington.

Her work focuses on improving health outcomes and addressing stigma, particularly in the context of HIV prevention and care. Dr. Andrasik holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of Miami and has a strong background in qualitative methods and Community-Based Participatory Research. She has also served as the Director of AIDS services for a community-based organization in New York City before transitioning into academia and research.

Why Attend?

This session will provide valuable insights into the importance of trauma-informed practices and how they can be implemented within higher education settings. Participants will gain tools to better support students from diverse backgrounds, build trust, and create a more empathetic and responsive academic environment.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Events and News 

Hey folks, welcome back!  I don’t have much of an update though I’m glad to share a bit about my time off.  Would you believe my wife and I DROVE down to San Diego over the break?  We stopped along the way to visit family and friends, but it was a long haul.  The weather was atrocious on the way down but super easy coming home. 

This week I have just been working on a few items and looking forward to the Dolphin Days event on Friday!  I can’t wait to see new students this quarter.  Stay warm and dry, and see you soon! 

Cheers, 

Jack

Foundation: 

We are updating the SCCF scholarship application process effective for the 25/26 academic year. For the past several months we have been meeting with groups and individuals across campus to ask questions and learn more about how your department/area interacts with the process. After speaking with several departments that have multiple scholarships in their area, we are talking with donors and asking them to update their gift contracts so we can ensure that as many students as possible will benefit from their generosity. This means that we will be combining some funds, and (hopefully) streamlining/simplifying the criteria of others. We also worked with other community college foundations in our area to learn more about how they serve both donors and students. Many of the changes we are making are in keeping with the best practices for college and university foundations and are meant to improve the application and awarding processes of the SCCF scholarship program. This is a big job with a lot of moving pieces, and we appreciate all the folks who have helped us! 

In order to help as many students as possible, honor donor wishes, and ensure integrity in awarding, the following changes are being incorporated into the 25/26 SCCF scholarship process: 

  • SSCF donor-funded scholarships will be broken into two groups, need-based and merit-based 
  • All SCCF donor-funded scholarships that are need-based will require students to have a “valid” FAFSA or WAFSA on file   
  • There will only be one scholarship period per academic year – no quarterly scholarships will be offered during the 25/26 academic year – this could change for the 26/27 academic year depending on the availability of funds 
  • Scholarship funds can be used for tuition, books, and “educational expenses” (this is a huge change as it will allow students to use scholarship funds for transportation, food, rent, etc.) 
  • The SCC Financial Aid department will take over the distribution of funds to provide better transparency and simplification for students of their entire financial aid package 

The 25/26 application window will open at the end of January. We will have several information sessions and will be updating the website to better help students. We will keep you posted as we move forward.  

Again, thank you to all the folks who have met with us, shared feedback with us, and helped us think through the process! If you would like to discuss these changes or have any questions or comments, please reach out to Wendy.
