Savanah's advice for new students: IYour presence matters here at SMC but no one is going to know what you can bring to the table unless you make yourself known. We’re here to mentor you and foster a community for you to feel apart of. If we give you that confidence to voyage into the other communities on campus don’t shy away from showing your authentic self. Being unapologetically yourself will open more doors for you than pretending to be someone you think people want you to be.
