As part of our celebration of Black History Month, take a look back when CSUSB hosted nearly 400 college and high school students and administrators for the Student African American Brotherhood (SAAB) Western Regional Conference.

Vanessa Ovalle Perez (English), John Winslade (education, emeritus) and James Mulvihill (geography and environmental studies, emeritus) were included in recent news coverage on various topics.

The grant from the James Irvine Foundation supports the GIA’s organizational capacity, building and sustainability. The GIA’s mission is to improve the long-term economic outlook of the region through improving educational attainment rates.

The hiring of Pablo Gomez (psychology) as the first fulltime CSUSB Palm Desert Campus faculty member is included in recent news coverage. Sam Crowell (education, emeritus) Stuart Sumida (biology) and Brian Levin (criminal justice) also are included.

The theme for the 11th annual summit is “Movimiento y Compromiso: 50 Years of Challenges, Possibilities, and the Quest for Educational Equity.” The summit is set for March 26, and online registration is now open.

The grant was presented to the Palm Desert Campus to create a needs-based, financial support system for current students enrolled at the university.

Susan Sutton, who is also a Fellow at the Institute of International Education (IIE) Center on International Partnerships, will meet with the university’s Internationalization Lab committee and others during her visit on Thursday, Dec. 5.

On Nov. 21, CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales invited numerous key donors to the Redlands Country Club to celebrate this achievement and highlight the positive impact they have had on students, faculty and the overall campus community.

About 100-150 Latino and African-American high school seniors will visit CSUSB for the fifth annual Black & Brown Young Men’s Conference on Nov. 22.
