CSUDH Invites Non-Degreed Students to Return with New Campaign
CSUDH has launched a new program designed to help students who left the university before completing their degree. Once a Toro, Always a Toro is a degree completion pathway that removes many of the barriers that often dissuade former students from re-enrolling, giving them the confidence to re-launch their career goals, improving their earning potential, and exemplifying college completion for themselves, their family, and their community. “CSUDH students who have paused their education often cite the challenges of balancing work, school, family obligations, financial hardships, and personal challenges,” said Sabrina Sanders, who oversees the program.
