CSUSB will now offer a second stem cell-focused student training program thanks to $2.9 million in grant funding from the CIRM Creating Opportunities through Mentorship and Partnership Across Stem Cell Science (COMPASS) program.
Brian Heisterkamp (communication studies), Tony Coulson (information and decision sciences) and Brian Levin (criminal justice) were mentioned in recent news coverage.
Lúa López (biology) discussed her DNA research, Rigaud Joseph (social work) shared advice on considering online Master of Social Work programs, and Brian Levin (criminal justice) was interviewed for an article on anti-Semitic comments by Kanye West.
The NSF grant will help López move forward with research in the field of ancient genomics, the study of the genetics of historical or extinct species such as the thale cress.
The grant will help develop a studio incubator, where students from various disciplines and departments will work together on different projects.
Michael Chao (biology) talked about a National Science Foundation grant awarded to CSUSB, Brian Levin (criminal justice) was interviewed about extremist activity as the Nov. 8 election approaches, and Barbara Sirotnik (information and decision sciences) discussed the latest news on the region’s economy.
The goal is to support student success and retention by developing institutional culture and infrastructure at CSUSB to support language-based challenges to STEM students including multilingual English learner students.
Kate Liszka (history), Yunfei Hou (computer science and engineering) and Brian Levin (criminal justice) were mentioned in recent news coverage.
The grant from the Stupski Foundation is in association with the National Academic Advising Association, which, in its awarding of the grant to CSUSB, said, “after reviewing dozens of submissions, your application rose to the top,” in part because of its ability to outline the issues facing the campus and its intentions to address them.
