Californians are aware of the frequency of seismic activity that the state is prone to. Anyone who has lived in California for an extended period has probably felt the earth rattle and roll beneath them. According to the United States Geological Survey, California is among the top 16 states at high risk for a damaging earthquake in the next half-century and it is the number two state for most frequent and highest magnitude quakes. The experience of an earthquake can be an unsettling one for some, and for others, it can be a favorable event on occasions of low magnitude. The Great California Shakeout 2019 is an event coordinated by the Earthquake Country Alliance, who according to … [Read more...] about Drop, Cover, and Hold On

Experiential reporting on immigrant lives affected by ICE
Troubled by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stories, I set out on a quest to find out more details from the people affected by the immigration policies. Every year, the number of immigrants detained by ICE rises, but as the number of detainees rises so do the allegations made against the agents who take them away. Before I began my search for undocumented immigrants who would be willing to speak with me, I got an interview with SEVIS Coordinator Marco Lagos at CSUSB in hopes of understanding the situation better. He is one of many who works with international and immigrant students at CSUSB. “When I thought about the possibility of working for a university where … [Read more...] about Experiential reporting on immigrant lives affected by ICE

Lowell Bergman’s fight against the distorted truth

Are students ready to Graduate?
Many students feel clueless when given the question, “Are you ready to graduate?”. Countless students respond similarly with “ Finishing school yes, but not the real world.” I asked a few students why they felt that way, when the Career Center is there to help ease that feeling of what comes next. Numerous students have never attended the Career Center workshops. CSUSB student Janneth Milian explains how difficult it is to go during the scheduled times the career center scheduled the workshops. “Always the same time, twelve to one,” Milian said. Like Milian, many students have work or class at the time. They wish they can attend workshops on internships, resume building and … [Read more...] about Are students ready to Graduate?
