Dear Alumni and Friends,
The fall semester has begun, and already this academic year brings exciting news for our students. During the first week of classes, I announced the formation of the Division of Student Belonging and Success to align existing programs and services under one structure in a manner that will best support our students in building connections and a sense of community on campus.
We know that students who engage in campus organizations and build strong relationships with their peers achieve higher rates of academic success and gain the interpersonal skills they will need in the workplace. By bringing these services and departments together, we establish belonging as a core part of the student experience.
Dr. Tachelle Banks, who most recently served as Presidential Faculty Fellow, is leading this division as the inaugural Vice President of Student Belonging and Success. I am thankful for her vision and passion as we develop this new division for our students.
Regards,
|
Laura Bloomberg
President

More Than Recreation Services
|
In addition to focusing on physical fitness and exercise, University Recreation and Wellbeing provides services and programming to address all aspects of wellness. Students, faculty, staff and members of the community visit our on-campus Rec Center to build healthy habits and take time to relax and re-focus.

No-Cost Test Prep for Students and Alumni
|
Since our Office of Career Development and Exploration rolled out the Kaplan All Access program last year, CSU students have saved more than $400,000 in prep materials for graduate exams and professional certifications. Now, the program is also open to CSU alumni who are planning to take these important assessments.

Celebrated author Maya Angelou had one child, a son, yet she had plenty of stories to share with a daughter, which is why she wrote her collection of essays Letter to My Daughter. Throughout the book, she speaks to the reader as their mother and shares her valuable wisdom for living an exceptional and full life.
