Recruitment

The CSSC collaborates with education partners through the “Reach for Chico” recruitment program. The “Reach for Chico” mission is to recruit 1st generation college students along with serving these students and their families as they participate in the college admission process.

The partnerships are vibrant relationships that include motivational talks, college preparation workshops, extended campus visits, parent workshops, and community building activities. These partnerships have constantly delivered a diverse applicant pool for CSU, Chico.

An important characteristic of an education partner is the evidence that their students have received a clear and constant message about individual responsibility. Partners such as the Advancement Via Independent Determination (AVID) program in the Inland Empire area, the Catch the Dream program in the Coachella Valley, and the Bay Area Leadership Foundation are examples of excellent “Reach for Chico” partnerships. In return, the CSSC carefully monitors our partners’ students as they transition to CSU, Chico and begin the transformative journey of higher education.
