Cal State San Bernardino has received a $3.3 million federal grant that it will use to increase teacher diversity in the Inland Empire. The five-year grant from the Department of Education will pay for ExMILE – Excellence as Multilingual Innovators and Leaders in Education – a program meant to increase the number of credentialed Spanish bilingual teachers in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
“This grant allows us to make an impact by increasing and diversifying the number of bilingual educators in the region, a very much needed profile due to teacher shortages,” said Jordi Solsona-Puig, assistant professor of education and the grant’s principal investigator.

Yolonda Youngs, CSUSB associate professor of geography and environmental studies, was a guest on the podcast “Nature Revisited.” In the episode, Youngs traces the idea of the Grand Canyon as an icon and the ways people came to know it through popular imagery and visual media. She reminds us of the shifting interplay between humans and their environments and how visual representations shape popular ideas and meanings about national parks and the American West.
