with 14 alumni engaging with the students in the past year. The Alumni Association also hosts “Take A Break” events around finals where association members come to campus to encourage students during this stressful time, providing coffee, snacks, and support.

COVID ‐ 19 Impact  Modification to support services . Throughout the pandemic, the goal of the office of student affairs has been to ensure the same level of services and opportunities available to students compared to pre ‐ pandemic levels. To name a few, o mental health services were moved to a virtual format and a mental health crisis text line was made available to students o the office of career services had to cancel the in person annual career symposium but offered students three virtual career development sessions o CSTEP converted two of its experiential summer programs into virtual programs gaining much praise from participants as most summer programs that students had applied to were cancelled o the CStep program was asked in December of 2020 to assume a grant cut of 40% for the current year o admissions also converted its Open House, Admissions Camp, and New Student Orientation to a virtual format  Modifications to recruitment and enrollment strategies . Recruitment for the fall of 2020 will be done fully online through the delivery of webinars to o specific schools (typically high yield schools or schools that request an individualized webinar) o clusters of schools based on geographical areas (e.g., cluster of schools in Southern California) o the public at large Although Interview Day will be fully online until further notice, the College created a structure that will allow for applicants to interact with current students, staff and faculty.
