The Blue Heart Foundation and CSU San Marcos have agreed that a supportive partnership and a guaranteed admission would provide a valuable pathway for students from an outstanding program with a proven track record to join our campus community. With this MOU agreement we will demonstrate our commitment to academic excellence and student success, while creating a diverse educational community and learning environment. CSUSM will provide an open and welcoming culture which will enhance and support the successful completion of an academic degree.
We were treated to a campus tour with our new partner CSU San Marcos. We also officially signing our Memorandum of Understanding agreement that will allow us to begin generating a pipeline of our students to attend this forward thinking institute of higher learning. As we toured the campus many parents were in awe that we were chosen as a preferred partner… One Blue Heart Parent – Tammy Blevins stated this is such a wonderful opportunity for our young men.”
Our day included a Meet, Greet and Celebration of our Partnership with Carol McAllister, Karen Francisco-Butler and Rosa Barr-Hailstork. Followed by an Admissions Information Presentation – Rivian Anderson/Araceli Bazan and Financial Aid Presentation – Sergio Solis. ” It’s one thing to meet and talk about all of the programming, mentoring and services the foundation provides, but it’s another to see how utterly prepared, smart and tenacious they are in person.” Director of Admissions Carol McAllister would say and later continued ” I hope they enjoyed the day and know that we are here for them. We look forward to a long wonderful relationship.
We then had a Campus Tour led by PRIDE Ambassadors Araceli Bazan & Rivian Anderson followed by a visit to SBSB Computer Labs where our seniors officially applied to CSU San Marcos with the assistance of Dr. Geoffrey Gilmore. Each senior was fully prepared, completing their application on the spot, which thoroughly impressed the entire admissions staff.
The tour closed with a visit to the Campus Dorms and lunch in the Commons, I must say this was one of the most amazing campus tours yet and we are excited for what the future holds.
