The Welcome Center project at Santa Fe Community College is a one-stop service center
where a student can fill out an application, receive advisement regarding the required
courses, complete financial aid forms, register and make payment arrangements with a
single SFCC staff member. The college’s new Welcome Center eliminates the
unnecessary waiting time at different offices to accomplish these tasks. SFCC will be
among a handful community colleges in the United States that provide this type of
convenient service to their students.
At SFCC, Javaheripour will be responsible for the administrative services staff, including
admissions, student financial aid, student employment, cashiering, registrations, student
records, business operations, office of information technology, general services, auxiliary
services, human resources, payroll, employee benefits, fixed assets, purchasing, plant
operations and maintenance, safety and security services, new construction, and renewal
and replacement of campus facilities and grounds.
