FALL 2020
WELCOME BACK, CAMERON AGGIES! Adjusting to the
new normal
Earlier this year, the pandemic forced higher education professionals everywhere to find new, creative ways to continue accomplishing our goals. For Cameron University Admissions, this meant developing and implementing two new ways to reach prospective students - Facebook Live Fridays and Virtual Chats with Admissions Counselors.
To keep students updated over the summer, our staff hosted Facebook Live Fridays with several departments including the Academic Advising Center, Financial Assistance and Student Housing and others like the CU Bookstore and our CU-Duncan

campus. In addition, we used this opportunity to highlight several academic departments such as the Departments of Education, Psychology, Business, Social Sciences, Sports & Exercise Science, Military Science and Communication, English and Foreign Languages.
Our Virtual Chats with Admissions Counselors, which are still ongoing, connect prospective students who have questions about CU to an Admissions Counselor via Zoom for a meeting. Slots are available weekly at 9 and 10 a.m. and 2, 3 and 6 p.m. If you know a prospective student who needs to chat with an Admissions Counselor about becoming a Cameron Aggie, please direct the student to https://www.cameron.edu/visit.
