More than 600 newly admitted students and their families visited Cal State San Bernardino on March 17 for the Coyotes Connect event, giving the future Coyotes a taste of life at the university.

The CSUSB Office of Admissions and Student Recruitment put on the event that gives the students and their families the opportunity to meet with current CSUSB students, faculty and staff.

The students participated in workshops about orientation, housing, financial aid, student life, how to graduate in four years, and how to join the university honors program.

In addition, they were able to meet with faculty — including deans, department chairs and academic advisers — from the university’s academic colleges to learn about opportunities as well as what to expect when they begin classes in the fall.

And to get a leg up in the process, they were given the opportunity to pay their confirmation deposit.
