Center for Student Involvement

This program was a four-part series that works to prepare students for post-graduate experiences. It is designed to provide advanced leaders with opportunities to refine and enhance their leadership skills and assist in their transition as they matriculate through and graduate from Cal State LA. This series took place in collaboration with the Career Center during the spring 2022 semester.

Twenty-five students participated in the virtual program. Through the findings, it is clear that the students who participated learned a great deal of information that will prepare them for life after Cal State LA. It is also clear that the résumé-building workshop was the one that was most favorable among the others.

CSI is looking to make the program hybrid to grow CSI's reach and strengthen community building. The material within the series has proven to be vital for our community and we will continue to create spaces to spread the knowledge.

The event was hosted in the Cross Cultural Centers, an area that the Center for Student Involvement does not normally program in. We used the space to expose students to and exhibit the resources at the different identity-based centers. We hope that students would be able to continue to utilize the resource centers to grow their personal connections and explore their social identities after the event.

Students will be able to locate the Cross Cultural Centers and use the spaces and resources as it relates their own social identities.

Based on our assessment and the student demographics, we were able to evaluate our Spring Spa event both quantifiably and qualitatively.

• We had a turnout of 104 students throughout the event. This was our largest turnout for a non-collaborative event at the time as most of our other events typically garnered from 15 to 50 students.
• Every single student who attended the event shared that they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with all of the services provided.
• A majority of students who attended the event have never been to the Cross Cultural Centers prior to this event. A majority of students were freshmen which possibly means that they might have never heard of this resource much less utilize it.

This event was created in response to student needs and feedback. The event was very successful given the turnout and the feedback we received. We will continue to plan events in the future utilizing student feedback. We will also continue to explore different venues on campus to expose students to new resource and spaces on campus.
