Welcome to the fall semester! Whether you are returning after a restful break, continuing your momentum from summer session or attending classes with us for the first time, I am thrilled you are joining us. This is a great time to be a Citrus College Owl!
Citrus College is committed to providing a healthy and safe learning environment. While indoor masking is strongly recommended due to COVID-19, it is no longer required on campus. Likewise, weekly testing is no longer mandatory but free testing is available to all students in our Student Health Center. Our daily self-screening assessments and QR code location check-ins via the Citrus Mobile app will remain in place until further notice. A recent email communication was sent to all students, so please check your email or the Citrus College website to review our current safety protocols and recommendations, which are based on the latest guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
All of us at Citrus College want your experience to be enjoyable and fulfilling – whether you are taking classes on campus or learning remotely. Citrus College is committed to academic excellence and providing a student-centered environment. Our faculty and staff will challenge and encourage you to create, innovate, excel and grow. At the same time, our outstanding academic programs and comprehensive support services are specifically designed to help you achieve your goals.
In the weeks ahead, I encourage you to take advantage of the many resources Citrus College offers. This includes the Student Health Center, which is now offering short-term personal counseling with our new mental health supervisor. From our Black Scholars program and Dream Resource Center to our
Disabled Student Programs and Services department, Veterans Success Center and much more, Citrus College strives to celebrate and meet the needs of students of all backgrounds, talents and interests.
As a Citrus College student, you have access to tools and support that can make all the difference as you pursue your goals. I encourage you to meet new people, make connections on campus and enjoy your academic journey. In fact, I would love to personally connect with you during one of my regularly scheduled open office hour sessions. Or perhaps, I will see you on campus. Don’t forget to check your student e-mail and our Citrus College social media channels throughout the semester for details regarding these and other college activities.
Have a terrific fall. Go Owls!
Sincerely,
Greg Schulz, Ed.D.
Superintendent/President
