CCLASS's 6th Year Anniversary Celebration and Open House

is an opportunity for new and returning students to familiarize themselves with our services, resources and opportunities we offer throughout the school year. This is also an opportunity for our campus partners, staff, and administrators to network and connect with our students. Our goal is to build and further strengthen our community to support our retention efforts for the 2023-2024 school year.

Dear Aggies,

Congratulations! You are invited to join students from all over California at the 2023 California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education, which will be held in-person on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at the University of San Francisco. This conference will provide expert sessions about selecting the right graduate program; the graduate application process; financial aid opportunities; preparing for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and employment prospects. Check out https://www.caldiversityforum.org/ for the schedule and more information.

REGISTRATION

Registration is now open!

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
