ACTION ITEMS
Recent studies have demonstrated that the California is facing a large gap in college educated workers.
If this trend continues the state will fall short of economic demand by about 1.1 million college
graduates. As the nation’s largest and most affordable public four-year university system, CSU is
uniquely positioned to meet this vital need.
As you explore the CSU enrollment trends of students from the high schools near your institution, we
recommend that you think about the following:
- Invite someone from the outreach and recruitment office of the CSU campus nearest to you to come and
speak with a group of middle and high school students about the CSU application process and admissions
criteria.
- Work with the CSU campus nearest to you to host a workshop at your institution on the financial aid
process.
- Work with the CSU campus nearest to you to set up a peer mentoring program.
- Work with the outreach and recruitment office of the CSU campus nearest to you to set up field trips
to the campus for middle and high school students.
- Consider developing a partnership with the nearest CSU campus to provide tutoring, study skill and
homework workshops to the middle and high school students in your congregation or organization.
- Consider developing a partnership with the nearest CSU campus to provide visual and performing arts
education to the middle and high school students in your congregation or organization.

ACTION ITEMS
As you explore the CSU major selection trends of your students, we recommend that you take the
following actions:
- Look at the data and reflect on the following questions:
- Do the choices reflect the needs of your community?
- Is there a healthy balance of students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM)?
- Partner with your local CSU campus to have faculty and students come and speak with the middle and
high school students in your congregation or organization about the various majors that are available. These speakers
can:
- Encourage students to think about college majors and preparation as early as possible, and
ensure that they are clear on differences between STEM/pre-med/nursing majors that require heavy
science and math prerequisites, and those that are more exploratory, like liberal studies.
- Help your students to see the realities of their major choices early. If they are interested in
a STEM or pre-med track, encourage them to take prerequisites early to find out ASAP whether this
is the path they want to follow.

ACTION ITEMS
As you explore the course-taking patterns of your students once they arrive at the CSU, consider taking
the following actions:
- Partner with your local CSU campus to have advisors meet with your middle and high school students
to inform them about the importance of getting off to a fast start.
- Students that complete 30+ units their first year of college are much more likely to graduate
than those that do not.
- When students do not take full unit loads it will take them longer to earn a degree and cost
them more.
- Help students to understand that if possible, their goal should be to graduate in four years.
- Partner with your local CSU campus to have advisors meet with your middle and high school students
to help them understand the opportunity costs associated with not taking at least 15 units each term.
- Loss in financial aid eligibility over time.
- Loss in wages by delaying entry into the full-time workforce.
- Increase costs in tuition, books and fees over time.
- Real costs associated when balancing a part time job not directly tied to career interests, and
a full academic unit load.

- Partner with your local CSU campus to have advisors meet with your middle and high school students

- Encourage students to seek on-campus rather than off-campus employment to help finance their
education.
- Encourage students to pursue internships relevant to their major and career interests to help
keep them engaged in their studies and progressing toward their degree.
- Encourage proven success strategies that keep students connected in college such as getting
involved in campus activities and groups, getting to know professors, and staying focused on
academics.
