New policies have been adopted by University Housing for the fall semester to reduce students’ exposure to COVID-19.
Wildcats applying for University Housing must be fully vaccinated by July 30 in order to move-in on their assigned date. Two doses of either Pfizer of Moderna, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is required. The university has some isolation and quarantine rooms to accommodate individuals who are half vaccinated.
“Residents are required to have a COVID test within 72 hours of arrival in University Housing at the beginning of each semester and provide verification of test and test results,” said Fall 2021 and 2022 Policy Guide. “Residents are required to complete regularly scheduled COVID testing. Residents are required to notify the Chico COVID Hotline 530-898-2222 immediately of a positive test.”
Chico State’s University Farm Greenhouses pruned past obstacles and had record sales at their annual spring sale this year.
The sale was four weekends long. It made $8000 the first week and about $13,000 in total. The proceeds from the annual plant sale helps fund the College of Agriculture’s hands-on opportunities for students. It’s allocated toward student research projects, student employees’ pay and educational programs.
A majority of the plants sold were grown at the University Farm Greenhouse in collaboration with the Chico State Organic Vegetable Project, the Crop Science and Horticulture Club and a few agriculture classes from the College of Agriculture.
All 10 children from one Oroville family will soon share the same achievement: Chico State graduate
Xue and Ong Moua Yang brought 10 children into this world: seven sons and three daughters. On May 20, 2021, all 10 children will have graduated from Chico State. The family’s incredible story is a testament to hard work, family resilience and kept promises.
In 1984, the Yangs immigrated from Laos to the U.S. in search of a better life. The family touched down in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 and lived there until a paternal uncle, who attended Chico State, recommended the family move to Butte County.
The Yang family has lived in Oroville since 1989. Papa Yang learned some basic English, but Mama Yang only spoke Hmong, the language of their ancestors.

Chico State’s custodial service is confidently looking forward to a safe return to campus. They have been steadily cleaning an empty campus throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and are excited for the warm laughter and smiles students bring.
Mike Guzzi, associate vice president of facilities and capital projects is confident about the return to full capacity.
“From a facilities and support perspective, absolutely yes,” said Guzzi when asked if it was safe to return to campus. “The majority of our team members, in general, seem very excited about the return of students and employees to campus.”
Working on an empty campus was harrowing for custodian Dale Vang, a 2009 international relations graduate since he would usually interact with students and faculty members.
