Student Services offers Zoom lobby to support student success

This winter YVC’s Student Life office launched a Student Services Virtual Lobby to help students connect and get their questions answered. Breakout rooms are available for students to have private 1:1 conversations related to financial aid, registration, admissions, counseling and advising. Each department has a staff member available to help answer questions.

“The Student Life office was interested in creating a Zoom lobby because we wanted to make sure we were doing everything we could to support students during this difficult time,” stated Student Life Coordinator Laura Yolo. “The students who have participated have been able to connect with student government officers, staff from Registration and Financial Aid and get their questions answered. We hope that more students continue to utilize this resource.”

Lobby hours were available most weekdays. Based on the success of this resource Student Life is hoping to continue their efforts in the spring.
