CSMAdvantage Posts Record Enrollment

Before the fall 2014 semester began, a record number of new, first-time students participated in a five-day kick-off designed to ensure a smooth transition to college life. Participants met other new students, faculty and staff and brushed-up on necessary study and test-taking skills.

CSMAdvantage also focuses on the development of mind, body and spirit. Students participated in a weekend retreat where they learned important health and wellness tips and were introduced to the importance of goal-setting and networking. The program continues throughout the year with luncheons and one-to-one meetings with staff members in the Achievement Center.

“The 26 students in this year’s class earned a combined grade point average of 3.41 for fall semester, said Angela Fernandez, assistant dean for retention programs. “We help new students get off to a great start and then support them throughout this exciting journey.”
