CSUSB is part of a consortium of 16 CSU and nine UC campuses collectively awarded a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to increase diversity in physics and astronomy through the Cal-Bridge program.
“The New Normal” will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, at Cal State San Bernardino’s John M. Pfau Library, room PL-5005.

Thirty-three CSUSB students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) or STEM-related majors have been awarded scholarships from Edison International.
