Pfau Library extends its online services

October 27, 2020 by Dymphna Rocha 132 Comments

With distant learning continuing in the Spring semester, Pfau Library finds ways to further meet the campus community's needs for resources in the virtual space. Cesar Caballero, Dean of Pfau Library, said, “As soon as the pandemic hit and the campus had to pivot to an online mode, the library acquired as much digitized library content (e-books, e-textbooks, etc.) as we could afford since print copies of books were not initially available. That’s the reason we started planning on the retrieval service, which was implemented this semester." Among several resources, Dean Caballero thought the most essential needs to students would be equipment rentals and research assistance. Dean … [Read more...] about Pfau Library extends its online services

ASI election results raise questions of representation

October 16, 2019 by Avery Robinson 135 Comments

Racial representation issues lace the discussions of the spring Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) elections which resulted in Adonis Galarza's election for Presidency. Many of the concerns primarily come from an issue of underrepresentation of the Black students. Although CSUSB is a diverse campus, the majority, 63% of the student population, is Hispanic which designates it as a Hispanic-serving institution. Princess Jackson, the President of the Black Student Union (BSU), feels that, even with Adonis Galarza as ASI's President, some of the needs of the black community may still be neglected. “I felt like the ASI elections were not pleasing, and don’t get me wrong, our new … [Read more...] about ASI election results raise questions of representation

How to get from here to a career

May 22, 2019 by Danaya Thomas 105 Comments

A solid educational background is helpful, and while some students pursue a degree for personal satisfaction, it’s more likely than not, that there is hope for better employment opportunities. In today’s competitive job market, it would be much simpler if applicants understood what should be on a resume, why it should be there and what skills employers are really looking for when scanning through applications and resumes. One very important concept learned in college, is that research matters. Without research, many issues would go unidentified, there would be a lack of understanding and success as well would be hard to notice. In June 2018, the Career Center initiated that First … [Read more...] about How to get from here to a career

Why Do Students Take Adderall?

March 4, 2019 by Ashley Balmaceda 3 Comments

College students are known for pulling all-nighters, cramming for tests, and working on multiple assignments at once. Coffee and energy drinks are what people assume most students are using. Now, students are learning how to complete their work with the help of a different substance - Adderall. According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, Adderall is the second most common drug abused on college campuses. Oscar Hernandez has always had issues procrastinating and had trouble focusing on his school work. In the efforts to get things done, he decided to try Adderall. “I had a big paper due and it’s really easy for me to get distracted,” Hernandez said. “My … [Read more...] about Why Do Students Take Adderall?

Students taking leave of absence for financial reasons

April 24, 2017 by Jordan Ortega 45 Comments

By Jordan Ortega |Staff Writer| CSUSB students have a critical decision to make if they decide to drop out or take a gap year. If taking a gap year many students do so to get some real world experience. “The latest so far is 85 percent of students are continuing their studies,” said Muriel Lopez, Director of Institutional Research. Only 15 percent of CSUSB students actually drop out or take a “leave of absence" at CSUSB. Now students have the option of delaying their education to live their lives. "I took this last year off [to work on helping survivors of domestic violence]," said student Asia. Taking a “leave of absence” is not considered dropping out for CSUSB … [Read more...] about Students taking leave of absence for financial reasons

CSUSB 50th year milestone celebration needs more oomph

October 9, 2015 by Archived posts 3 Comments

By Erendy Torres |Staff Writer| CSUSB celebrates its 50 year anniversary and what people, including myself, really want to know is: what are we doing in celebration of this milestone? As I walk around campus, I notice that our anniversary isn’t really being talked about.  There aren’t any major events that capture students’ attention. Placing congratulatory paw decals on pavement is not enough. Sure, it’s nice to see renovations and banners of achievement everywhere, but social events are what motivates students to get involved. Students walk past these posters, banners, and decals everyday, but they are still ignorant to the fact that we have accomplished an important … [Read more...] about CSUSB 50th year milestone celebration needs more oomph
