CSUSB’s Master of Science in Physician Assistant (MSPA) program will participate in the PA Diversity Recruitment Virtual Fair on July 10 from 6 a.m.-6 p.m. The event, free and open to students and advisors, is an opportunity to build a pipeline of diverse, top-tier talent and create awareness about the MSPA program.
A component of the three-day event was a stop at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus for a special presentation. In addition, on the second day of the summit, Robert Nava, vice president University Advancement, participated in roundtable discussion with Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis on how PDC serves the region’s higher education needs.
The federal funding will help purchase state-of-the-art equipment, lab equipment and support and renovate the CSUSB Yasuda Center, which will house the MSPA program.
