Ten years ago, Pooris Baine was running a small video game retail store he founded with friends in his home country of Iran. At the time, he was taking civil engineering courses at a local university but it was the games in his store he really loved.

The pandemic had a negative impact on college enrollments both nationally and in our state. As a college and district, we have been focused on rebuilding our enrollments and re-engaging students, particularly students who may have stopped out. I am very proud of our collective strategies to rebuild our enrollments which are gradually reaching our pre-pandemic enrollment numbers. Two examples of enrollment metrics are headcount and Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES).
