Susan Culbertson, an adjunct faculty member in the Cal State San Bernardino School of Social Work and the Title IV-E project coordinator, was honored in the education category during the Shine a Light on Child Abuse Awards Breakfast on April 6, The Sun reported. The Valencia Room at the National Orange Show Events Center was filled to capacity as 16 award recipients were called to the stage — stepping in to that spotlight.

Shine a Light honors heroes for making a commitment to the safety and well-being of at-risk children and youth — the judges, attorneys, social workers, case workers, law enforcement, foster parents, businesses and community partners — who give kids a voice. Also honored were 15 youth scholarship recipients — young people who had been in the county’s foster care system, but were now given a chance at a college education and a new life.

Stuart Sumida, a paleontologist, professor of biology at Cal State San Bernardino and animal anatomy specialist who advised the “Kong: Skull Island” filmmakers on how the prehistoric lizards should move, is interviewed on the topic of “What would Godzilla and other movie monsters really sound like?”
