Krisstina: Ambassador Lead
What’s up everyone?
My name is Krisstina, and I’m a first-generation student majoring in Human Development with a concentration in adolescent development! I hope to go into academic advising after receiving my degree. I chose Cal State East Bay because it was close to home and we have a beautiful campus. I was born and raised in Hayward, CA. I made my way to the Welcome Center because I was having trouble connecting to campus since the majority of my first year was virtual. However, I’ve learned so much about East Bay and I’m excited to continue my journey here!

My name is Sarah and I am currently a fourth-year majoring in Sociology and History. I am from Rohnert Park, CA, and decided to come to Cal State East Bay for its diversity and its close proximity to my hometown. I enjoy going out and meeting new people. My college experience was a little hesitant to start due to the pandemic, but I have found a sense of friendship and family here on campus. East Bay offers so much for its students to feel supported and safe on campus. I feel so blessed to be at the Welcome Center offering support to anyone that wishes to visit East Bay. #livelife
