Since its inception, the Mary Stuart Rogers Scholarship Fund has distributed more than $2 million in scholarships to Palm Desert Campus students.
The event welcomed new and returning students while underscoring the university’s commitment to supporting Native student success.
Students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to participate in events throughout October.
The grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research will help test and validate a new tool called the Electronic Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Satisfaction Assessment (EISA). This innovative tool is the first of its kind and will make it easier for people with disabilities to use the latest internet-connected assistive devices.
“This grant will give our students meaningful opportunities to engage with the community and help raise awareness about domestic violence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October,” said Camelia Fowler, community partnerships analyst in CSUSB’s Office of Community Engaged Learning, who will oversee the grant.
The donation by Anne and George Stoll, along with a $10,000 gift to the library’s Special Collections & University Archives — the largest monetary contribution in the department’s history — promises to enrich teaching and research at CSUSB well into the future.
