Office of Student Assistance and Relief chief announces retirement; OSR reports outreach after closed school Federico College
Summary
OSR Chief Scott Palverde announced he will retire May 2, 2025; staff described closed‑school outreach to Federico College students and increased in‑person and virtual assistance.
Scott Palverde, chief of the Office of Student Assistance and Relief (OSR), told the advisory committee he will retire effective May 2, 2025, and reflected on OSR’s work since its launch July 1, 2017. He noted OSR’s role in responding to large campus closures and said staff provided in‑person and virtual workshops and one‑on‑one assistance to students affected by the Federico College (cosmetology) closure in Fresno, including help accessing records, ledgers and STRF guidance.
Palverde described an instance where a student completed and submitted a STRF application online during a workshop and emphasized that OSR staff provided significant one‑on‑one help after the closure. Committee members and bureau leadership publicly thanked Palverde for his service and noted plans to recruit a successor with an overlap period if possible.
Why it matters: OSR provides direct assistance to students affected by closed institutions and coordinates STRF and records access outreach; a leadership change may affect continuity and future OSR initiatives.
