Labor Day is more than a long weekend, it's an opportunity to recognize the people whose perseverance helped shape the workplace we know today.

The history of Labor Day is rooted in the collective efforts of those who advocated for fair treatment, safer workplaces, and better working conditions. Many of the standards we now consider commonplace grew from those efforts, leaving a legacy that continues to influence how we work today.

Faculty-led sessions, collaborative discussions and course introductions helped prepare students for the semester ahead.

We’re excited to see how the conversations and experiences from this past week continue to shape your work throughout the semester.

As this term’s Residential Learning Experience (RLE) and Virtual Learning Experience (VLE) come to a close, we’re reflecting on the connections, and shared experiences that helped set the tone for the semester.

At RLE, students came together in person while completing their required residential hours. Mental health professionals also had the opportunity to participate in continuing education workshops, including sessions that meet California prelicensing requirements for psychologists.

Thank you to the students, faculty, staff, and professionals who helped make this experience a meaningful start to the term.
