Welcome to the Spring 2025 Semester!
Hello, Chargers!
I’m Scott Thayer, the president of Cypress College. It is my honor to welcome you to the spring 2025 semester.
By now, I’m sure you’ve noticed how vibrant and full of activity our campus is. As the semester begins, you are part of the largest group of enrolled students in close to a decade. Thank you for helping us build this incredible community.
During my first year as president, I heard over and over that Cypress College cares about our students and about your success. And, indeed we do.
Last week, I shared with our employees the phrase #OneCypress. #OneCypress is the “we” in “We Journey Together.” It is a reminder to all of us that we come here in service of you, our students.
This is our purpose. Our mission. Our privilege.
One of the ways I know that we are bringing this promise to life is that the U.S. Department of Education recently named Cypress College one of the top 100 community colleges in the nation. Cypress College was recognized based on the success of students.
So, when we say “We Take This Journey Together” we mean it and we also know it is meaningful.
This year we are focused on three goals:
- Your success through enrollment and engagement;
- Ensuring that everyone feels they belong here at Cypress College; and
- Personal wellness in mind, body, and soul.
I wish you a successful semester, and I ask you to please reach out to any of us when you have questions or need some help. That is why we are here.
We are #OneCypress! Have a great semester!
