EOPS Newsletter

Fall semester 2014 is winding down and the EOPS staff would like to remind all of our students to schedule a third contact with an EOPS Counselor if you have not already done so. Book vouchers for next spring semester will only be issued to those students that have made at least three EOPS contacts this semester! Our staff is here to help you succeed and meet your educational goals. Please contact us with any questions or issues that you may have. You may contact Amanda Frost at (707) 256-7310 to inquire about how many contacts you have made and/or to schedule an appointment.

We hope you have had a very successful and enjoyable semester!!
