Eagle Guide Student Handbook - Coppin State University Homepage

August 22, 2011
Dear Coppinite:
Welcome to Coppin State University (CSU). I greet you on behalf of the Board of Regents,
the entire Coppin community, and welcome you to the family. We are so pleased that you
have chosen Coppin to continue your education, and fulfill your dreams and aspirations.
We are located in the heart of Baltimore, which is affectionately known as “Charm City,”
where we offer the warmth of local neighborhoods in an urban setting. Founded in 1900,
and named for famed educator, Dr. Fanny Jackson Coppin, CSU is a comprehensive liberal
arts institution committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship/research and continual
community service.
I encourage you to take full advantage of what we have to offer as a University; reach out to
faculty, staff, and other students and seek guidance and ask questions whenever necessary.
The valuable resources that are available to you as a Coppin student are unmatched. The
“Eagle Guide” is one such resource; take the time to become familiar with this student
handbook, which is a resource guide that will answer many of your questions about
campus life, career opportunities, and academic resources available. The administration,
staff and faculty are here to assist you in having an experience of a lifetime and the
opportunity to turn the dreams of all those who made it possible for you to be here into a
reality.
We look forward to your active participation in student affairs and the many collegiate
activities available.
Finally, we invite your feedback regarding your experiences on campus, and how the
quality of those experiences can be enhanced. There are survey boxes located throughout
the campus, please make full use of them to share with us your ideas and concerns.
Again, welcome the family, and I look forward to interacting with you throughout the
campus.
Sincerely,
Reginald Avery, Ph.D.
President
