Club/Org Name Event/Project Proposal

Club Rebound

Elevate to Empower: Education Without Limits will be a powerful fundraising gala aimed at celebrating the resilience and achievements of justice-impacted scholars pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In partnership with Project Rebound at Cal State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), this event will honor the transformative journeys of these students as they break barriers and stereotypes in higher education. The mission of Project Rebound and its associated club, Club Rebound, is to provide critical support to justice-impacted individuals as they transition from incarceration to academic success. Through mentorship, academic resources, and financial assistance, we empower these scholars to overcome obstacles and pursue a brighter future. This event will feature a surprise guest author, who will speak on the power of embracing positive change and breaking free from societal expectations, inspiring attendees to support and champion the cause of justice-impacted students. Funds raised from this event will directly support the club and is aimed at helping students/members navigate higher education, mentorship, and additional resources to reduce recidivism and promote academic success.

Coyote Karate Academy

Coyote Karate Club at CSUSB seeks funding to purchase additional martial arts gear, including sparring gloves, shin guards, focus mitts; and paddles. We are also interested in acquiring a target-light punching machine, a BOB human-like punching bag, jump ropes, and breaking boards to further support the safe and effective training of our members. This equipment will help maintain up-to-date practice conditions and ensure the continued safety and development of our growing community of martial arts participants.

Coyote Student Nurses

The Nursing Banquet is an event dedicated to honoring nursing students for their commitment and hard work, while raising essential funds for the Street Medicine Nursing Clinic at Mary’s Mercy Center. The center provides vital services to unhoused individuals and families, including food, clothing, hygiene products, and access to showers. The funds raised will help sustain the clinic’s efforts, which include taking vital signs, offering wound care, providing referrals to primary care, and distributing non-perishable food and other essential items. We kindly invite your support for this event, enabling us to continue delivering vital services and giving back to the community.

Coyotes on Rotation

COR Market is an event that would include vendors and live performances from both CSUSB and the community. This event would possibly as well be having some collaborations with different clubs in CSUSB if interested. This event would be open to the public and happening sometime in September/October 2025.

Hospitality Financial & Technology Professionals

The Hospitality Finance & Technology Professionals (HFTP) Club is requesting funding through the Howl Grant to attend the HFTP Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, from October 22-24, 2025. This event brings together hospitality finance and technology professionals for three days of education, networking, and industry insights. We plan to send six students to gain exposure to emerging trends, connect with industry leaders, and develop key skills for careers in hospitality finance and technology. Attending will also enhance our professional network, opening doors for internships and job opportunities. Representing CSUSB on a national stage, we will showcase our university's commitment to developing future leaders in the field. This opportunity will enrich our knowledge, strengthen our club's presence, and provide valuable connections, helping us achieve future success in the industry. We believe this grant will support a unique learning experience for our members.

Math Club

This would be the 2nd annual regional math conference hosted by the math club at CSUSB. Our conference’s purpose is to connect math students in the Inland Empire together to share and explore undergraduate and graduate research and topics in mathematics.

Student Veteran Organization

The requested $1,000 Howl Grant will support student veterans’ attendance at the 2025-26 Student Veterans of America (SVA) National Conference (NatCon), the largest annual gathering of student veterans in the country. NatCon provides a unique, veteran-exclusive space where students can engage in career development, secure internships or job offers on-site with federal and national agencies and compete for exclusive scholarships. Through networking with industry leaders, attending professional development workshops, and participating in sessions led by military-connected professionals, student veterans gain access to career pathways and leadership tools that directly support their academic and professional goals.

The Child Development Club

We plan to host a Professional Development Panel that includes guest speakers currently working in child development-related fields. This event supports our club’s goals by providing opportunities for both our members and the community to grow professionally. It will allow students to explore various career paths, ask questions, gain insight into different areas within the field, and begin building valuable connections.
