SAN DIEGO - Kids aren't the only ones heading back to school, plenty of younger and older adults are starting their fall semester as well.
August 22 marks the beginning off the fall semester for some 45,000 students in the San Diego Community College District, where registration is still open and seats are still available for a number of classes. Classes will be held in-person and online, with enrollment fees at $46 per unit. And thanks to a grant from the federal government, the district is developing more courses which utilize free textbooks.
The district continues to be a leader in career training in the region and new this year is the Health and Wellness Coaching certificate program at San Diego Mesa College, which will help students develop motivational skills and better analyze behaviors to better help their clients manage stress and other life challenges.
Ashanti Hands, Ed.D., the new President of San Diego Mesa College, joined us on San Diego's Morning News to talk about the start of the school year for the college district. Listen to the full interview below:
