Sisters in Success
Sisters In Success (S.I.S.) is a mentorship and cultural enrichment program designed to support Black/African/African American women students at Delta College. Our goals are to: build and nurture relationships; strengthen mental, emotional, and physical health; provide culturally responsive enrichment; develop student study groups; enhance community involvement; and improve academic success rates for Black/African/African American female students at Delta College. S.I.S. participants attend monthly meetings, form strong sisterhoods with other Black women at Delta, experience special events, attend presentations and speaker workshops, and attend an annual HBCU tour!
SIS Participant
SIS is a truly life-changing program. It is a safe and supportive space where we can be our authentic selves without judgment. We develop meaningful connections and unity, as we learn from each other’s experiences and grow together. We are committed to uplift one another, as a sisterhood rooted in love and encouragement. SIS is an affirming community where every voice matters and every woman is supported on her path to success.
