The College of Health and Human Services Advising Center at Cal State Long Beach has moved to the Health Science Department, a spacious location, which they hope will offer a more welcoming environment for their students and staff.
The CHHS Advising Center was previously located in the Engineering Technology building, room 237.
CHHS first opened its doors in September 2007, serving all currently matriculated College of Health and Human Services major, minor and certificate students by providing services such as individual appointments, drop-in advising, workshops, social media and quick question assist.
“In the future, we hope to be able to provide events to further connect and support students throughout their CSULB journey,” said Kristin Taylor, office coordinator at the CHHS Advising Center.
According to center officials, the biggest deciding factor for the move was a larger space with the potential to accommodate more staff and assist their large student population.
As one of the largest CSU’s, CSULB student population stands at about 37,500 students, of which the CHHS Advising Center attends to 17 percent, providing services to approximately 7,099 students.
“Our new space consists of 11 staff offices, a conference room and a large student waiting area, which will allow students to work on homework while they wait for their advisor or connect with other students who are also waiting,” said Katherine Martinez, Assistant Director of the CHHS Advising Center.
Center officials said they appreciate all of the students’ continued patience throughout their move and look forward to seeing them in the new office.
“We just finished up with the ‘busy season’ of registration, so now is the perfect time for students to come in and meet with their advisor and check out our new office space,” said Rachel Weidemann, Director at the CHHS Advising Center.
