Cal State San Bernardino’s annual teacher-recruitment event, the Celebration of Teaching, is set for Thursday, March 20, at the university’s Obershaw Dining Room in the Alumni Center.
Presented by the university’s James R. Watson and Judy Rodriguez Watson College of Education and the College of Natural Sciences, the free event will begin at 4 p.m. and run through 6 p.m.
Juan Carlos Luna, a CSUSB alumnus who is a teacher in the Rialto Unified School District, will present the keynote address. Luna – BA, liberal studies, ’02, MA, bilingual education,’04, MA, educational administration, ’06 – was one of the recipients of the CSUSB Alumni Association’s Paw Prints Award in 2024. He is currently an Ed.D. candidate in the university’s Educational Leadership program.
The Celebration of Teaching is specifically geared for students pursuing a CSUSB degree who may be interested in exploring a career in teaching and wish to learn more about the array of resources, training and support that is available to them.
Welcome remarks will be shared by Chinaka DomNwachukwu, dean of the Watson College of Education, and Sastry G. Pantula, dean of the College of Natural Sciences.
Most important, the event will feature educators from local school districts who will share job prospects and packages they offer to newly hired teachers. Additionally, campus representatives will provide information on financial aid options available to credential students.
The Celebration of Teaching will also be a great opportunity to network with other students, faculty and staff, as well as current teachers, counselors and administrators from local school districts.
Multiple breakout sessions will be held to give participants the opportunity to meet and network with K-12 teachers, faculty and current, credentialed students.

In addition to the Watson College of Education and the College of Natural Sciences, the Celebration of Teaching is supported in part by a Department of Education Advising 4 Undergraduate Success (A4US) grant.
