Part time EOPS Counselor	EOPS program participation numbers are holding steady in spite of the overall student decline the college is experiencing. Effective 2016-17, one of our full-time EOPS Counselors took on the role of program coordinator to meet state mandates. While this position has added great value to the program, it has reduced the number of counseling hours we have available for students. Having a part-time counselor to fill the hours lost and to provide a little extra coverage would allow us to keep our student count up with the assurance that students will continue to be served at the level they have become accustomed to.
