Students guided on the trek to receive scholarships
Financial Aid Advisor, Andrea Cowser, of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships presented the online process for scholarship applications at CSUSB on January 16, 2020. Before applying for the scholarships, Cowser noted that in order to be considered for CSUSB scholarships, a completion of the FAFSA for the academic year of 2020-2021 will need to be filled out already. “We highly recommend that you actually file the 2020-2021 FAFSA application. So many of our CSUSB scholarships are need-based, so we do require student applicants to complete a FAFSA application,” she clarified. She also reminded attendees that "for incoming freshmen or transfer students, they will also need … [Read more...] about Students guided on the trek to receive scholarships
Reflecting upon Taal Volcano’s eruption
At around 8 p.m. of January 11, 2020, here in California, which was about 12 noon of January 12 in the Philippines, my father and I were having a lively conversation over Skype – telling him how my day went at school, while he updated me about his heart-related health condition. We talked for a little over an hour before my dad left for his doctor’s appointment. Little did we know that in the following hours, something catastrophic would happen. On the morning of January 12 (California-time), I was scrolling through Facebook’s news feed when I read about Taal Volcano’s eruption in the Philippines. The little island volcano in the middle of a lake erupted, sending the people of Tagaytay City, … [Read more...] about Reflecting upon Taal Volcano’s eruption
Hype night featured Filipino dances for Friendsgiving
The Lubos Pilipino American Student Organization (PASO) performed Filipino cultural dances, such as Tinikling and Ragragsakan (ragrag), on Friendsgiving night, November 26, as a preview to their larger cultural night, CPC (Celebrating Pinoy Culture), which takes place annually in the month of May. Rowena Casis-Woidyla, Lubos PASO’s advisor, recalled the manner of potpourri when she shared how Lubos financially prepares for their cultural performances. “It’s kind of like a potpourri – the gathering of dried flowers, all sorts of different flowers which come in cute little sachet bags that people store in drawers so they smell nice. When I say potpourri, I think Lubos PASO does an … [Read more...] about Hype night featured Filipino dances for Friendsgiving
Letter to the Editor: Senate Bill 24
By Hector Pimienta On October 11, 2019, Governor Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 24. Under this bill, all 34 universities within the University of California and California State University systems will be required to supply the abortion pill RU-486 on campus for students. Universities will have until January 2023 to comply or face legal action. At first glance, it seems like it would be a great idea because the availability of this medication would be beneficial for students who have no health insurance outside of the university. According to Governor Newsom in an October 2019 Yahoo article: “We’re removing barriers to reproductive health, increasing access on college campuses and … [Read more...] about Letter to the Editor: Senate Bill 24

Food affordability and accessibility on campus
Whether it be about fast food chains or buffets, meal plans and dining halls available on campus, affordability is the main concern students have when it comes to thinking about what they want and need to eat during their times spent on campus. Coyote Dining’s General Manager, Dave Janosky, claimed, “I wouldn’t know who can or can’t afford food. But, we try to make a tier where we have value options that are available for students that are low cost.” They compare and contrast street prices and try to match them. “So, if you have a sandwich that’s sold out at street for $4.50, we always try to come in under what the local market is for the same item, so we’re always trying to … [Read more...] about Food affordability and accessibility on campus
Vox Pop: “What are your thoughts on the quarter to semester conversion?”
Recently, CSUSB has announced that, in Fall 2020, the campus will be converting from a quarter system to a semester system, and some of the students who will be affected by the conversion gave us their thoughts. “I think it’ll mess up people who are going to be in the middle of the conversion. I’m from a semester system in community college, and now I’m getting used to the quarter, but then I’ll have to go back to semester. I think it’ll definitely get confusing. I’ll most likely have to stay a little longer, but I’m fine with that, as long as the job gets done.” “I have mixed feelings about the conversion. In a quarter system, you can take 5 classes each quarter. … [Read more...] about Vox Pop: “What are your thoughts on the quarter to semester conversion?”
