If you have not had the opportunity to take a professional head shot with our campus photographer Emilio Flores, please contact him at your earliest convenience to schedule an appointment to do so. Revised online and printed photo directories and varied projects in production will access these photos and we don't want to miss anyone.

Faculty advisors remember to encourage Student Advising for Successful Graduation! Review academic progress and identify the resources that may be of the greatest benefit for the students academic career.
