Brown College of Business and Public Administration had the unique opportunity on Tuesday, April 16, to delve into the inner workings of Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in Highland, gaining insights into the hospitality and entertainment industry firsthand.

Guests at the university’s “Spirit of Polynesia” gala felt transported to Polynesia, a region known for its rich and diverse culinary traditions, warm hospitality and natural beauty.

Among Caitlin Kim’s learning experiences at CSUSB was the Nursing Street Medicine program. “It taught me a lot of things about life,” she said.

Students had opportunities to interact with business owners and operators in the manufacturing and services sectors of wine, food products, retail, hospitality and tourism.

She's in the Top 3! On the May 12 show, Abi Carter was voted one of the Top 3 contestants on "American Idol." Carter will next appear on the "American Idol" finale on Sunday, May 19, on the ABC network.
