Academic dishonesty on campus
The topic of academic dishonesty among students was brought to the university's attention at the faculty senate meeting earlier this quarter. A professor at CSUSB found that when she gave an online quiz of ten items, the students were instructed not to open their notes, keep their books closed, and not to talk to anyone.

VoxPop: Remembering Kobe
"Growing up he was almost like a father figure to me. I really modeled my mentality around Kobe. He was my inspiration. In a way, he's the closest person that's passed away from me. Kobe was our childhood. Because of him, I've had a lot of opportunities and met many new people. Sometimes his passing doesn't feel real." "I've cried more in the past three days than I have in the past five years. I got the news when I was driving back from Vegas, and I was a mess the whole seven hours of driving. It doesn't feel like it's gotten better, but it's brought a lot of people together. The outreach of love is probably the biggest part that I've seen from this, and it's allowed me to feel better … [Read more...] about VoxPop: Remembering Kobe

Tropicalia music festival moves to Pomona
Originally from Long Beach, and later moved to Pico Rivera, the third annual Tropicalia Music Festival was in high enough demand that it was moved to the Pomona Fairplex. The Lantinx-focused festival, which took place on November 9 and 10, had Day 1 headliners such as Los Tigres Del Notre and Caifanes.

"I saw the line-up to this year's Tropicalia fest for Day 2 and immediately sold my Camp Flog Gnaw weekend … [Read more...] about Tropicalia music festival moves to Pomona
