With smaller class sizes and a myriad of resources for students, Shoen believes that the opportunities at Sac City set the foundation for her success. When Shoen discusses college options for her student athletes, she always highly recommends Los Rios colleges. The conference was a chance for Shoen to spread her wings, and learn to promote herself as a businesswoman as well as refine her academic skills.Īll throughout college Shoen worked while taking classes, and she found that classes at Sac City were designed for working adults.įor example, the classes are affordable, parking passes for students are valid at all four colleges in the district, tons of scholarships are available, and classes are taught by a professor rather than a teaching assistant. One of the experiences she particularly values was the Hispanic Association of College Universities (HACU) conference in Washington, DC, which she attended under Professor Sandra Camarena. Although she attended 7 different colleges, Sac City was the one where she found she had the best experience. Shoen's own experience with the schools was primarily with Sacramento City College, earning an Associate Degree in Economics. I think academically it's very structured, very clear what you'll need to transfer."

"And I always recommend the Los Rios district for the student athletes I work with, just because I think it's a very streamlined process. "I've been a soccer coach for 12 years," Shoen says.

Rose Shoen cannot stop encouraging those around her to consider going to community college, specifically any of the colleges within the Los Rios Community College District.
