Vice President for Student Affairs

• Enrollment is 27,784, which is an increase of 3.7 percent. First-time-in-college (FTIC) is approximately 3,193, which is a decrease of about 1.1 percent.
• Recently a judge concluded the FLSA overtime rule to be invalid. What does this mean for employees? Nothing. This latest development doesn't change the current course of action employers have already taken in response to last year's injunction. The job reviews conducted by HR made us compliant with the current law. Contact Liz Ramirez with questions.
