CYPRESS, Texas (March 23, 2020) During these stressful times, Lone Star College-CyFair remains focused on students and while all are required to keep distance from one another, college employees are making virtual contact.
The LSC-CyFair College Relations team reached out via social media to employees to ask them to offer words of encouragement to students and let them know they are not alone. Showing employees care deeply about their students’ well-being, videos immediately started pouring into the College Relations Director’s email inbox.
"Our faculty and staff answered the call beyond anything I anticipated, but after being in this system for 15 years I am not surprised. I've never worked with a more compassionate, dedicated group of people," said Michelle Tran, Director of College Relations.
"When I received the message, I knew I had to do my part to help put our students at ease. This is an incredibly stressful and confusing time for our students, but we are dedicated to making this as smooth as possible for them,” said Ashlie Resendez, Dean of Student Services.
“COVID-19 has challenged us to adapt in unprecedented ways. We are laser-focused on ensuring this goes as smoothly as possible on our campus,” said LSC-CyFair President Dr. Seelpa Keshvala. “Technology is allowing us to be responsive, reach out to our students and provide them with comfort in any way we can. These video contributions from our employees are a great way for us to stay connected with our students.”
