This fall brings a new initiative to CSUSB’s Affordable Learning Solutions, an initiative which supports student success through participation in cost-saving programs for textbooks and course materials.
Montgomery Van Wart (public administration), Cary Barber (history) and Miranda McIntyre (psychology) collaborated on a study that examined the likelihood of another U.S. civil war; Jim Estes (finance) offered tips on how to select the least expensive auto liability insurance; Brian Levin (criminal justice, emeritus) was interviewed by news media about incidents of antisemitism, racism and bias against the LGBTQ community; and Barbara Flores (education, emeritus) commented on a state Assembly bill that would mandate that reading instruction be aligned with the “science of reading.”
CSUSB supports student success through participation in a cost-saving program for textbooks and course materials through Affordable Learning Solutions.
The Faculty Center for Excellence also begins the new academic year with an expanded new structure that unifies faculty support and professional development in one center.
Brian Levin (criminal justice) discussed the increase in reported hate crimes in San Antonio, Texas, and Cary Barber (history) published a paper, “Politics in the Roman Republic: Perspectives from Niebuhr to Gelzer.”
In this academic year alone, more than 10,000 students have saved nearly $2 million on textbook costs thanks to the Affordable Learning Solutions program at CSUSB.
