The California drought is over, but the water crisis isn’t. Despite record rainfall, Southern California still has to tackle ongoing challenges of waste water and storm water, watershed storage and conservation. CSUN will help tackle these community issues through the City of Los Angeles One Water LA initiative.

Faculty and staff from around campus recently met with city representatives to get the conversation started on dealing with water demands and solutions. University reps and city officials will work together on addressing the city’s water needs, resources and facilities. “We have faculty interested in long-term studies,” said Sherry Sidick, associate director of external relations for the Tseng College. “There are opportunities we can offer for the One Water Plan. Faculty and staff asked excellent questions at the meeting to start the ball rolling with possible proposals and/or relationships. The One Water plan will help the region with sustainability.”

Join us for a spirited talk about Presidential powers to celebrate Constitution Day! History professor James Sefton and political science faculty John Evans of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire lead the lively presentation.

(July 14, 2017) - It’s the middle of Summer, but graduation time continues! Students in the Master of Science Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program wrapped up their last class this week. They celebrated with a hooding ceremony at the University Student Union, in a room packed with family and friends. Students moved through the ABA program as a unit and graduated together. “You started as a group and will work in a field with unique links between science and behavior,” said Gary Katz, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology and chair of clinical psychology graduate program. “You have power in your smaller class size. Each of you has taken on larger shares of class activities and projects. The spotlight shone more brightly on you.”

(July 10, 2017) - CSUN welcome international students and visitors taking short-term programs this Summer! For most students, Summer means relaxing at the beach or getting away from school books. But visiting groups arriving this week will use the Summer to explore CSUN academics. The English Language and Cultural Experience Program gives international university students a chance to learn and practice English. “This is a three-week program, and they get to take field trips,” said Yukiko Bryant, manager of student life for International Programs and Partnerships. That means fun excursions around Southern California, in addition to classroom study. “They will learn about American, California and Los Angeles culture, and will get to use real-life English.”
