Happy College Awareness Day!!!
The last day of every month is college awareness day and this month our theme was "Getting Involved at SuHi: the importance of extracurricular activities and community service."
During lunch, the counseling center hosted a mini community service fair where students had the opportunity to pick up community service forms and information about upcoming community service opportunities. The Red Cross, the Arc of San Diego, and Key club were also present providing students with information on ways to get involved. 
Pictures from our mini community service fair.
In case you missed it here is some of the information that was passed out or come by the counseling center to pick up a flyer.
