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?

Students raise sexual assault awareness at Teal Color Fest
Puffs of teal powder filled the air on April 19, as CSUSB students gathered to recognize sexual assault awareness month.

The Bracero: A Forgotten History
The Bracero Program was a government operated agriculture program that ran from 1942 through 1964. During those 22 years, approximately 4.6 million contracts were issued to Mexican migrant workers who helped secure an allied victory in both Europe and the Pacific during World War 2. Still, few American’s acknowledge or are aware of their service to the war effort and to America as a whole. The Bracero Program was born because of the necessity for men to work the fields during the war. With many American men away fighting, Mexicans found a different way to contribute to an allied victory: by producing their food. Today, surviving Braceros can be up to one hundred years old, and these … [Read more...] about The Bracero: A Forgotten History

Snow players harming local vacation spots
WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. - Locals worry and take measure to prevent harmful effects of increased activity from visitors spending time in the snow. Because there is so much condensed activity in Southern California mountain communities during the snow season, there is an increase of waste buildup. Families that go to mountain regions to play in the snow can forget about cleaning up their trash, bringing their snow gear home with them or being cautious with the nature around them Due to increased environmental stress, local mountain communities have the possibility to begin to disappear. "I think that erosion of mountain communities] is a micro cause to the macro cause," Chad Keel, a … [Read more...] about Snow players harming local vacation spots
CSUSB Faculty Senate Meeting Discusses Transition Plans of Quarter to Semester
The faculty senate meeting on Jan. 15 decided the quarter to semester change will take place effectively during summer session of the CSUSB 2020 catalog year. Students cannot mix and match quarter and semester catalogs; the system will not allow it. Transfer students coming from a CSU will still be on quarter catalog. Freshman and high school graduates, as well as community college students, will not be affected by this change since they are required to be on semester catalog. This might be great news for some students, however, it does not come without its negatives. Quarter students will be on the quarter catalog but will be on a semester schedule. Catalog year means … [Read more...] about CSUSB Faculty Senate Meeting Discusses Transition Plans of Quarter to Semester
