The project is intended to produce university collaboration and, in particular, create a research network of HSIs interested in tackling the challenges that face their students in online settings in STEM.
Kelly Campbell (psychology) was interviewed for an article about dealing with stress related to personal finances, Kate Liszka and Kasia Szpakowska (history) are featured in a new mini-series on ancient Egypt, Yunfei Hou (computer science and engineering) is helping to organize a data science summer fellowship, and Leslie R. Amodeo and Dionisio A. Amodeo (psychology) led a team of researchers that published a study on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), medications that are commonly used by pregnant women.
The Data Science Summer Fellowship Camp for undergraduates and graduate students will provide data science training and team-based projects based on real-world data sets under the supervision of faculty and industry advisors. The application deadline is March 31.
Stacy Morris (child development), José A. Muñoz and Ethel Mickey (sociology) each published papers on their areas of research.
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.
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.
