Qualifying high school seniors from six school districts in San Bernardino County will receive guaranteed admission to CSUSB, removing the initial application process for them, and increasing the college-going rate in the region.

University President Tomás D. Morales was awarded the 29th California State Senate District Man of the Year award from state Sen. Eloise Gómez-Reyes.

Acclaimed soprano and CSUSB Opera Theatre director Stacey Fraser is celebrating a standout year, earning Favorite Opera Singer in the San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards and releasing two critically praised albums, “My Dancing Sweetheart” and “A Chaos of Light and Motion,” among other achievements.

CSUSB will host the inaugural Native Community Welcome Dinner on Sept. 18 to celebrate and support new and returning Native students. The invitation-only event will bring together the campus community, educators, Native organizations and Tribal partners for an evening of connection and cultural recognition.

As part of Den2Den, SBVC students will enjoy the same services as CSUSB residential students, including the on-campus meal plan, access to campus amenities such as the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, the John M. Pfau Library, and support services to assist in a student’s success in reaching their academic goals.

Morales began his role as CSUSB’s fourth president in August 2012. His commitment to student success has led to various innovative summer bridge and other student and academic support services, including strengthening relationships with public K-12 school districts and community colleges in the Inland Empire.

“We are all together here in a very, very special place. We have a vital mission. And we punch well above our weight,” university President Tomás D. Morales said. “Each of you is making a real difference.”

CSUSB joined fellow CSU and UC campuses at the University of California San Diego’s Institute of the Americas Forum on Aug. 11 to sign a letter of intent strengthening educational partnerships with Mexico. The agreement outlines plans to expand academic exchanges, develop dual degree programs, and foster technical cooperation in strategic sectors.

The honor was bestowed on President Tomás D. Morales for his “exceptional achievements” and his “significant contribution to the development of Caucasus University’s international standing and your distinguished service to Georgia,” Kakha Shengelia, president of Caucasus University, said.
