Text Box: Are you ready for next semester? Text Box: Hello Everyone, We are looking forward to seeing you next semester. For those of you new to our SSS & EOPS programs, WELCOME!!! This last semester SSS attended a few Preview Days at different universities—CSU Chico, UC Davis, and SOU. During spring 2009 we are planning on visiting CSU Sacramento, SOU, and CSU Humboldt. If we get enough interest, we may visit OIT, Simpson and National Universities. This last summer and fall semester SSS was able to have dinner and then go to the Shakespeare Festival to see Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Comedy of Errors. It was lots of fun and very entertaining. We look forward to spending time with you, whether it is on our trips or when you visit us in our office. Have fun during the Holiday break and we hope to see all of you next semester. Pat Kushwara, SSS Coordinator & Stacey Westrum, EOPS/CARE Coordinator
