Virtual Opportunities

Each spring, we host virtual Q&A sessions with staff from a variety of offices around campus. These virtual sessions are open to admitted students and their families. Below you'll find links to the 2024 webinar recordings. Once the 2025 schedule is available we'll post it here!

It also highlighted ways in which CC, as an institution, helps students thrive.

2024 Recording: Academic Advising and Support

Hosted by Student Success Specialist and Pre-Law Advisor, Gretchen Wardell, and the director of CC's Writing Center, Chris Schact.

Chris gave an overview of the academic supports available at CC and how students can get the most out of the robust support we offer.

2024 Recording: Gap Opportunities

Hosted by CC's director of admission, Matt Bonser. Matt discussed why so many CC students choose to take a gap year or gap semester, what makes for a great gap experience, why we encourage students to consider a deferred start, and how to request a deferred start at CC.

2024 Recording: Athletics at CC

Hosted by CC's senior assistant director of admission, Dylan Sanchez, senior assistant director of athletics, Greg Capell, and assistant director of the fitness center, Andy Obringer, panelists discussed engaging with CC's athletics programs (varsity, club, and intramural) as well as opportunities available at CC's fitness center.

Small Group Chats are virtual conversations led by current CC student ambassadors. These sessions are a valuable way to learn more about CC and student life in a relaxed, casual setting.
