Case Study: HACC Resources

Juan is in his second semester at HACC. He has been doing well academically and currently has a 3.0 GPA. This semester has been extremely challenging financially for Juan. He lost his job, and he just received notice that his electricity may be shut off for lack of payment. His computer also died, and he does not have the funds for replacement. He is contemplating quitting school at this point.

Jennifer is in her first year at HACC. She originally thought she wanted to be an elementary school teacher. After getting a job at a local daycare, she has realized that working with younger children is not the best fit for her. Now she feels stressed and confused because she doesn't know what major she should choose.

Maria is taking English this semester. She was assigned a research project and must find articles in the HACC library database for her project. She has no idea how to find articles because she never had to find research in the library before. In addition, she's been struggling with her writing skills. Maria is feeling very overwhelmed and is considering withdrawing from the class.

Reflections Questions:

Instead of quitting school, what are some resources available at HACC that Juan might be able to access?
Since Jennifer is feeling undecided about her major, what might be some actions she could take to figure out what is right for her?
What are some resources at HACC that may assist Maria with her research project and her writing skills?
