D.S.A The Current Student Edition Division of Student Affairs California State University Long Beach
Topic Ribbon
To our new students, welcome to the Beach! And to our returning students, welcome back! I am very proud to be your new Vice President of Student Affairs, and I’m excited to join this community, even if we aren’t physically together. I know this is not the way any of us wanted to start this year, and I know we are living through extraordinarily difficult times right now. Please know that we are here for you. Truly. We’ve spent the summer shifting our programs, services, and resources to be available virtually. I invite you to spend some time exploring online what we have to offer. But more importantly, we’re here to answer your questions, help solve problems, and support your success in any way possible. Just connect with anyone in the Division of Student Affairs, and we will figure out how to help. Please reach out to any of our Student Affairs departments or our Division Office so we can get an idea of what your experience looks like, and we will help make that experience better. I look forward to the day when I can see you all walking around campus, but until then, know that your success remains our highest priority, and we’re committed to doing everything we can to help you achieve your dreams. Go Beach!

Beth Lesen, Ph.D. 
Vice President, Student Affairs

COVID-19 Student Accommodations
Students who are considered to be in an at-risk category based on current CDC COVID-19 guidelines may request reasonable accommodations through submission of the COVID-19 Accommodation Request Form. This form is applicable to students who are unable to wear face coverings while on campus or who are experiencing COVID-related impacts.

CSULB Technology Loans
We know that with the current pandemic and attending classes virtually, you may have some challenges about accessing your courses and may need technology support. We have partnered with Information Technology Services to develop a technology loan program to provide laptops and hotspots for students in need. You may request a laptop, hotspot, or both at the following link: https://bit.ly/CSULB_LHL. 
Over the past few months, we have created a number of resource guides in response to current events to provide you with assistance and information about services available on and off-campus. Please click the images above for our list of Student Affairs Departments and Programs, COVID-19 Student Resource Guide, Equity and Inclusion Resource Guide, and Undocumented Student Resource Guide.
