Meet Our Advisors
Dena Lemus | Sr. Graduation & Retention Coordinator - SAGE Coordinator
As a first-generation college student, I learned that meeting with an Academic Advisor is an essential step in student success. During my college career, my advisors ensured that I knew the shortest and most efficient path to earning my degree. I do the same for my advisees. Students do not have to navigate their educational journey alone, we are here to help provide support and connect you to campus resources.
Kya Webb | Graduation & Retention Coordinator - SAGE Advisor
I am a proud twice-made Sac State alum with a B.S. in Health Science and an M.S. in Counseling! Not only is helping students and emphasizing the importance of wellness/stress management my passion, but my goal is to help you achieve academic success by seeing you through to a timely graduation and getting connected to various resources to aid you holistically through your college journey. May you always remember that “Mindset, habits and routines are the building blocks for success towards your educational and wellness goals.”
