[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CCO could benefit from a change (but SFS not big on change and this isn't meant to be specific about this person's job change)

But an influx of top-down energy that brings creativity, warmth, and more outreach to/relationships with students would be welcome.

We all know it has been a tough year and another in the constantly changing climate, but the current process lacks any feeling of CCO working as a team with the students.  It has never felt like the students have someone at CCO who is in the trenches with them, in their corner helping out and/or cheering them on. They are perfectly nice, but it's almost as if the primary expectations were only to make sure list has a safety and turn in documents. There has been no CCO-initiated one-on-one communications with students as decisions have come out and no outreach to have meetings to give next-steps advice on strategy based on those decisions (or even a congratulations on your acceptance!). It's a "call us because we won't call you" (but "we're here for you! yay!") relationship with students.

You can't fault them if none of this was expected....but it's a shame that it isn't. These kids work hard and wouldn't it be nice for them to have someone who actually knew them and actively let them know they have their back in this process.
