The Citrus College Caring Campus Initiative
In 2023, Citrus College joined the Institute for Evidence-based Change's Caring Campus Initiative. This initiative recognizes the importance and role of classified staff in support of student success. The first contact with the college is often with a classified professional. Classified professionals are in a critical position at the school where they can help to reduce barriers, ensuring the process for applying, enrolling, and persisting, and all students easily understand completion. Additionally, classified professionals help create a sense of connectedness for our students and are often essential in helping remove non-academic obstacles to student success. This session will provide an overview of the initial steps and recommendations for the Caring Campus Initiative, led by 25 Citrus College classified professionals.
Facilitators: Ms. Rita Barber, veterans services technician; Ms. Ida Esquivel, administrative secretary I, EOPS/CARE/Next Up and Cal WORKs; Ms. Christina Garcia, administrative assistant, student services; Ms. Emmy Madrid, DSPS specialist; Dr. Richard Rams, vice president of student services; and Ms. Christine Recendez, administrative assistant, academic affairs.
