Thank you so much for your guidance since day one Mr. Omar. You have always been there for all the students and helped us in so many ways to reach our goals. We are so lucky to have you as our advisor. I'll obtain my AS degree after this semester, and It wouldn't be this easy without all of your helps along the way. Happy National Advising Day Mr. Omar. You are the best advisor ever!!

Mr. Mason's energy every time we see him is unmatched. His smile shines through the mask and it's always great whenever he gets a chance with his busy schedule to stop by the automotive program.

Miss Katie is my academic advisor at the Santa Fe College and has a phenomenal resource to my coming all the way from Ghana,West Africa to successfully enrol as a Paramedic student in the College.
Right from the start of the application process in April,2021 she followed my application with keen interest even till the admission was granted me and l thought it will end there.
No it didn't! She still follows up on my progress in the program with passion .
I am very fortunate and blessed to have her as my academic advisor.
God bless you with more wisdom in your work.
Thank you for being there and always ready to assist.

I don't even know where to begin about Sari. She has been one of the most amazing advisors, and just people in general, that I have had the fortune of meeting in my life. I started school about 6 years after finishing high school, and was very intimidated by the idea of starting again. She made everything really easy for me to understand and helped me find my way in college. She has provided amazing guidance with picking courses since 2019, even when I switched programs and she was not technically my advisor. Extremely helpful, and genuinely loves to help people as much as she can. There aren't many awesome human beings out there, but she is definitely one of them, and deserves the highest praise.

Omar has guided and empowered me since the first time we met. He continues to "fuel my fire" by encouraging me to reach beyond what I see as limitations. Without Omar, I probably wouldn't have been engaged on campus. His belief in me gave me the push to just go for it. Thank You Omar.

Dr. Sengupta has always been so supportive. I took her for A&P years ago and I still try to find her when on campus. She helped me figure out how I learn instead of trying to fit into the cookie cutter student learning. She has written letters of recommendation, always responds to messages and has truly been a factor of how I’ve gotten where I am today. From the countless office hours, the thousands of questions and all of the dedication and commitment she gives to her students. She is by far one of my favorite Professors I’ve had the pleasure of having in my life. Santa Fe has been my home for quite a while and I’m thankful for the countless professors that have made an impact in my life. But Dr. Sengupta, you deserve so much more than a kudos in writing. Thank you for choosing this career, thank you for your patience and thank you for being invested in what I’m sure is countless students.

Karen Lake is the best!
She has been my go-to since day 1 at Santa Fe. A friend recommended I see Karen when I was looking into taking classes at Santa Fe, and I'm so glad she did. Karen is knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and always patient to answer all of my questions (which is usually a lot)! She is a wonderful advisor, and I'm thankful to have had her guidance thus far, and for my remaining time at Santa Fe!

Returning to college after over 10 years, a special thank you to Douglas Robertson for guiding me through the re-enrollment process and for guiding me through the confusing yet well needed process of registering and taking courses online. He is truly a "Saint" at Santa Fe College. Kindly submitted for a well deserving advisor.

She was so patient. I called, and I was overwhelmed and I had so many questions and she just listened, heard me out, and gave such excellent advice. I was just getting back into the swing of being a student again (I'm a non-traditional student and coming back to school after a while out of it) and she made such a big difference in the sometimes fraught experience of figuring out all the details of class schedule and gave such valuable advice for my planning. I would be so glad for her to be recognized, even if it can't be in this instance, just in some way. Thank you for giving this opportunity to recognize the student advisors; they make such a difference.

I have had my struggles throughout college and typically I would not interact with my advisors due to anxiety and other stubborn reasons.  I had to meet with Catherine Lawton to get accepted into the business program, and since day 1 she has been such a blessing and beyond helpful.  I would not be one semester away from having my Bachelor's degree if it wasn't for her positive influence.

Mrs. Catherine Lawton is a hands-on advisor. Her knowledge of all business programs shows when her students got to her with their questions.

Thomas Maple taught me public speaking and communications, and ever since we have become friends on so many levels. He is currently the advisor of Justice Club, of which I am the president.

Professor Maple goes the extra mile to see that students achieve their every goal. He gets involved in the project in contrast to point to the project. He makes you feel good about what you are doing thereby spurring one's self confidence. He is very open to other's opinion and finds ways to create a working system to any project.

Professor Maple is one of a kind. He is hero without a cape.

Tom Robertson greatly impacted my academic success as a Santa Fe student. When I was applying to the health sciences programs, I was so worried and unsure about my academic career. Tom encouraged me to pursue my dreams of applying to the nuclear medicine technology program. At the time, I was upset because I did not think I could apply. Because of medical issues, I had to withdraw from chemistry in the semester. I was so discouraged thinking I would never be able to have the opportunity to be selected for the program. When I talked with Mr.Robertson, he answered all my questions and he is the reason I went ahead and got encouraged to take chemistry again in the summer to apply. I was selected for the program, and I could not be happier. If it were not for Mr.Robertson, I would have never knew there was hope for me. He has always been so professional, kind, and gifted at what he does. He is a fantastic advisor, and he always makes time for students and answers all questions, along with helpful advice. He’s not only someone who advises students on what to do in their path with health sciences, he really does care about his students. I was so lucky to have been able to talk to Mr.Robertson about the health sciences programs, because without him, I would have never even tried in the first place. He has made a positive impact on my time being a Santa Fe student. I have loved the nuc med program, and feel it is the right path for me. Without his input, I would not be where I am today. He encouraged me to pursue my dreams, and for that Mr.Roberson, I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for all you do! Go Saints!

Mr. Mason is a champion for his students he does not see us as just Student ID Numbers he truly wants the best for us. Not just academically, but as future professionals in society. As a black minority student often people look at the my physical appearance and judge me as a thug by the color of my skin. Mr. Mason saw past my physical appearance and looked at me for my potential I can add to society and Santa Fe. He is a champion for many of us whom are left behind in this world he fights the real fight. He creates students who are not just academically successful, but are able to use skills to ensure their future is certain in a world full of so much uncertainty. He is shouldering the future leaders ushering them into professional fields which will make our economy grow.

Thank you Mr. Mason keep fighting!

Asley Pollas made me feel welcome the first day I came to his office to find out about how to enroll at Santa Fe. He always has an encouraging word, and an upbeat, positive, inclusive energy that makes me feel comfortable to go to him anytime I have a question or need help. It's obvious he cares about what he does and he will go the extra mile to help and see students succeed. He helped me to understand and clear the obstacles that were in my way to enrollment and helped me believe in myself when I was really insecure and nervous about going to college. He always says hi and remembers my name if he sees me on campus, and asks how everything's going. It makes it feel like I am in the right place and I belong here to have someone like Asley as my advisor. A few times when i have felt like quitting because there were so many things happening when campus closed in 2020, Asley was there setting up Zoom meetings and responding to emails and talking to me about what I needed to do to keep going. His help was the main reason I stayed in school and will be graduating next semester. He has been that important  anchor for me when I was navigating the sometimes stormy seas of college and I will always be grateful that he was there when I need help. He has been a real blessing in my life.
