Student Resource Guide (click here) This brochure guide was developed to help serve new students who were onboarding during the Fall 2020 semester and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The brochure was mailed in a welcome package to 3,000 new students. The brochure features a welcome from the president, a variety of online support services offered during the campus closure, and a directory of departments. It also features graphic design and original student photos submitted to us during COVID.
