UChat Feature Connects Students to Campus During the Pandemic

One of the busiest services on a college campus takes place late summer into early fall when the Outreach Team needs to make certain students are enrolled and ready to begin their college careers. Eleven strong, the Miramar College Outreach Team is the gatekeeper for most new students who arrive on an unfamiliar campus. Navigating ones first year of college can be tough especially during a worldwide pandemic. However, a new feature at Miramar College is helping students connect to the campus even while most Miramar College classes and services remain remote.

Help is Just a Zoom Away

The adjustment of moving from the comfort of in-person instruction to remote learning has had its effects on everyone. But mostly students. Many of whom now find themselves feeling a little lost or overwhelmed at times, especially at the start of a new semester. Just five short months ago, a student in need of a specific service could merely pop onto the Miramar College campus and find what they needed. Fast forward to present day and students now must seek those services online.
