California State University Channel Islands • Schedule of Classes • Fall 2004 1 Welcome from The President Dear Students: It is my pleasure to welcome you to campus for the fall 2004 semester. Whether you have recently graduated from high school, are transferring from another institution, or are continuing your studies from your last semester here on campus, I congratulate you for making the decision to pursue your dreams through higher education. In the months ahead, you will be challenged to think in new ways about the world, society, and yourself. Some of the questions you may ask will have no answers, and some will have many more answers than there will be students in the room. This is the dynamic nature of education, and we hope you enjoy the journey. Our mission places students at the center of an educational experience committed to providing you with multicultural and international perspectives that will help you grow both intellectually and creatively. This collaborative effort begins with you but we, the faculty and staff of Cal State Channel Islands, consider ourselves your partners. Don’t hesitate to call on any of us for assistance as you explore your opportunities. Sincerely, Richard R.
