Dear Cal State Fullerton Community,
I hope this message finds you safe and well. As we continue to witness the devastating impact of the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles County, my thoughts are with all those affected. Please keep in mind that there are members of our immediate Titan community — students, faculty, staff, and alumni — who are facing challenging times due to the devastation we have witnessed this week. Please continue to extend them grace and support in ways that you are able.
The strength, resilience, and kindness of our community have always been and will continue to be our guiding light, and now more than ever, it is crucial that we come together to support one another. Whether you are directly impacted or know someone who is, please remember that you are not alone. We stand together in solidarity and affirm the statement by CSU Chancellor Mildred García that we are committed to providing the necessary support and resources to assist you in navigating through this difficult circumstance.
I encourage everyone to reach out to our campus support services including Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for help.
