A premier event during Cal State San Bernardino’s Black History Month celebration, the 13th annual Pioneer Breakfast brought together 400 attendees on Feb. 27 to honor campus and community leaders while awarding 11 scholarships to 15 CSUSB students.
The Adina Lei Savin and W. Benson Harer Visiting Scholar in Egyptology is made possible through the generous funding of Savin and Harer. The gift to the endowed visiting professorship supports the position for two years and ensures that CSUSB continues to serve as a vibrant center for the study of Ancient Egypt in the Inland Empire.
Combined with the mentorship he received, Sedrick Spencer said earning his degrees from CSUSB prepared him to navigate high-stakes professional environments. “It has allowed me to have a voice in the room,” he said.
“This will strengthen AI technology in our workforce and provide all of you students with opportunities for retraining and training and growth in the VR and AI technology space,” said U.S. Rep. Pete Aguilar, as he formally announced the grant award at CSUSB’s Center for Cyber and AI.
Three university-wide awards will be presented to Diana Z. Rodriguez (Distinguished Alumni Award), Miranda Lee (Emerging Leader Award) and Natalia Hale (Coyote Spirit Award) at the annual Alumni Hall of Fame Awards ceremony on April 10.
The Paw Print Award honorees – Sapira Cheuk, Michael Bracken, Miki R. Inbody, Adam Huttenlocker and Laurena Bolden – will be honored by the university at the annual Alumni Hall of Fame Awards on April 10 at the Alumni Center.
CSUSB celebrated the achievements of 1,570 graduates during the fall commencement ceremonies on Dec. 12-13, filling the Coussoulis Arena with cheers and Coyote pride.
Three university-wide awards — Distinguished Alumnus, Emerging Leader and Coyote Spirit — will be presented, as well as the Paw Print Awards, which honor esteemed alumni from each of the university’s five colleges.
Families, friends, former coworkers and members of the campus community gathered for the university's annual Day of Remembrance, hosted by CSUSB’s College of Natural Sciences, honoring the 14 victims of the 2015 mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino — five of whom were CSUSB alumni.
The ceremony marked the completion of the building’s structural frame and brought the campus one step closer to opening its first state-funded building and first new facility in 16 years.
CSUSB generates nearly $1 billion in economic activity throughout the Inland Empire each year, according to the report. Statewide, the 22 California State University campuses together remain one of the state’s strongest catalysts of economic mobility and innovation.
The second Tamal Award and Scholarship Recognition is set for 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at the Santos Manuel Student Union South Event Center. Tickets are $30 per person, with proceeds going towards scholarships.
