Matador Moments Challenge 2021-2022

“Matador Moments: Welcome First-Year Students and Returning Matadors."

Matador Moments is an online challenge that reflects on first-year student experiences for Freshmen and Transfer students. This year CSUN Portfolium teamed up with the Office of Student Success to invite all CSUN students to participate in our annual Matador Moments Challenge. We invite all CSUN students to share their reflections on Portfolium about their experience attending virtual classes and in-person classes for the hybrid academic year. We ask the participating students to reflect on the following questions; What have you learned from being a student during a pandemic? What have you learned about yourself? How were you able to overcome challenges? and how can we support and motivate other Matadors as we transition back to campus?
