Alexandra Añez Instructional Advisement International Student Services W-Building-Main Campus 3209 Virginia Avenue Fort Pierce, FL 34981 (772) 462-7784 [email protected] |
Hello, I am Alexandra Anez, International Student Counselor at Indian River State College. I have been working with the College for Fifteen years. My role as a counselor for Instructional Advisement in Educational Services at IRSC includes assisting students in making informed and realistic decisions in the areas of educational and career choices. My main goal is to assist students in achieving their greatest academic potential and achieve student success. My specialty area is working with the International Student Population. This population is unique in that the students with an F-1 Student Visa must undergo a distinct admissions and registration process. The International student represents a unique blend to the IRSC culture.
To be effective in my role as a counselor, I believe that an important characteristic is a strong sense of professional mission. Involved in this sense of mission is my drive to help others and the belief that students can achieve all that they are capable of becoming. Today’s young people are living in an exciting time, with an increasingly diverse and mobile society, new technologies, and expanding opportunities. To help ensure that they are prepared to become the next generation of workers, leaders, and citizens, every student needs support, guidance, and opportunities. My purpose as a counselor is to understand and respond to the challenges presented by today’s diverse student population and to guide students towards making proactive decisions with regards to their education and thereby helping them to achieve optimal personal growth, acquire positive social skills and values, set appropriate career goals and realize their full academic potential !
