Community Resource Center: The Knight Club
Our Community Resource Center or "CRC” is a comfortable and inviting space for students to receive the help they need on school work and create a community of empowered learners. We will have adult professional tutors available four days a week that will provide strategic academic support for any student. Our students will have a space to receive help on school work, a place to relax, eat, and play games. The Center will be led by two of our group leaders, DeShawn Mitchell and Eli Kertel.
DeShawn Mitchell
Student Success Coordinator
Hello Everyone, My name is DeShawn Mitchell… I’m a Hillsdale Alum. Unfortunately when I was a student here everything good about this school I made a point not to participate in. So eventually my grades suffered, My confidence started to wither then my belief in myself did too! Luckily time has been my greatest teacher.. I’m now back at Hillsdale to be the person I needed when I was a student trying to simply figure it out!

I am a Hillsdale alumni from the graduating class of 2017 and am excited to be back on campus to help students find their place here just as I did! I am here after graduating from San Diego State University in 2020 with a B.A. in Psychology and from the University of San Francisco in 2022 with an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy. Excited to say that I feel honored to be part of the knight community once again.
