Audrie Bennett was a

mother and housewife and

didn’t start at SJC until her

youngest child was in first

grade. “It was great,” she

says. “I was 20 years older

than the other kids, so I re-

ally had to work, but the

teachers were so encourag-

ing and helpful. That made it

easier for me.”

San Juan College is proud of its role in the success of its alumni, wherever

they are. The Associate Degree which SJC offers is gaining inpopuylarity

both as an end in itself and as a practical transition to larger institutions. In

fact, the rate at which the Associate Degree has been growing is 20%
