Community Outreach

Overview

At the core of CSM’s community outreach efforts are the program services coordinator and student ambassadors. Together, the group is responsible for outreach and retention programs such as Campus Tours, Operation Welcome Mat and Connect to College.

The team also works closely with the college’s faculty, staff and the external Advisory Council. The mission of CSM community outreach is to meet the diverse needs of the community while helping current and future students reach their educational goals.

Operation Welcome Mat (OWM) is an effort to help students navigate the campus during the first week of classes. Each semester, over 4000 student questions are answered at the information booths. Volunteers are needed to help with Operation Welcome Mat each semester. Contact Alex Guiriba at guiribaj@smccd.edu for more information.
