10-8 Vandalism vending machine is glad to see more tutors available for students who need extra assistance.

“I feel like students need those opportunities that they’re not able to get in class,” Valencia said. “Sometimes it’s hard getting specific questions answered or it can be intimidating, so having someone available one-on-one is a plus.” allopez.roundupnews@gmail.com

According to Kiekel, the tutoring sessions are being funded through the Student Equity Plan. Through this, they are able to identify the classes that need the most support and add additional tutors for those specific subjects in need.

“The district has responded to the labor group and has said that they’re interested in looking at the HRA,” Roman said. “But we want to make sure we look at the other elements of the benefits package and their compensation together.” jmanes.roundupnews@gmail.com

Benne said that the Health Center is short handed. She hopes the school will soon hire a full-time psychologist for Pierce to become an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited internship site. This would give Pierce access to a much larger pool of mental health interns.

Pierce College participated in the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment last spring. In the executive summary, students identified their top 20 impediments to academic success. Of the top 20, the highest ranked responses were, stress, anxiety, and depression.

According to the 2016 results, many emotional and social issues such as depression, sleep deprivation, and stress had increased considerably since the 2010 survey was taken. Some results, such as those for anxiety, even doubled, rising from 10.4 percent in 2010 to 22.4 percent in 2016.
