The\u00a0Online B.A. in Business Administration<\/a> degree-completion program in Cal State Fullerton\u2019s\u00a0College of Business and Economics<\/a> offers a world-class affordable and accessible education for those in need of a flexible study option to finish their bachelor\u2019s degree in business. For Heather Chakiris, assistant director of the program, the format provides the opportunity to build meaningful connections with students.<\/p>\n

A Lifelong Commitment to Supporting the Online Student Experience<\/p>\n

For Chakiris, supporting online student success has been a lifelong commitment that began 30 years ago. In her experience, the most consistent relationship an online student has with their university is their academic adviser. Faculty members will change each semester, but the academic adviser remains a consistent point of connection between the student and the university from admission through graduation.<\/p>\n

Chakiris emphasizes the importance of proactive outreach and ongoing support for students balancing multiple responsibilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little empathy can go a long way,\u201d explained Chakiris. \u201cOur advising team is here to be a coach, a cheerleader, a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen \u2014 whatever our students need in the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
