President's Messages

Dear Beach Community: As we continue navigating through the semester, I want to share important information that I hope will answer certain questions and provide reassurance that our campus is following public health protocols.

The current pandemic seems to offer little in the way of silver linings.  It’s been a health, economic, and social disaster for hundreds of thousands of people, and it’s been made even more unbearable by the simultaneous reckoning around racial injustice.  What it has allowed for, however, is a chance to learn new skills and, perhaps, new things about ourselves.

As we approach the fall semester, I write to offer you a few updates. New policy adopted by the California State University requires that you attest to having been immunized against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, if you plan to access campus facilities this fall.

We are currently working with the Chancellor's Office about how we and other campuses may implement revised safety policies. We will communicate applicable changes for the Beach community as soon as this process concludes, which includes conferring with our labor unions.
