CSUSB will celebrate its Class of 2021 with four virtual commencement ceremonies for students from its San Bernardino and Palm Desert campuses.
These three new scholarship recipients – Oscar Diaz Soto, Madison Eves and Jason Davalos – join 15 other University Legacy Scholars from the previous three years.
CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus has named Sofia Torres-Crespo, who is graduating with two bachelor’s degrees, as its Outstanding Undergraduate Student for 2020-21.
In 2018, Diane Vines, a nursing instructor at CSUSB and its Palm Desert Campus, created the Street Medicine program to provide much-needed healthcare services to people in the Coachella Valley.
Brandun Lee’s family promoted going to college while he trained to be a professional boxer. So while he still fights in the ring, he’s also majoring in criminal justice at CSUSB.
Avi Rodriguez, Oscar Fonseca and Jazmin Vera created the University Alumni of the Coachella Valley to connect Palm Desert Campus students with those who have graduated from both a high school in the Coachella Valley and an accredited university.
Besides teaching multiple nursing courses at CSUSB, Diane Vines also runs the university’s Street Medicine Program, which she helped create in 2018.
Brian Levin (criminal justice) was part of a panel of experts interviewed about the increase in hate incidents targeting Asian Americans, and Michael Karp (history) coordinated and hosted the 16th annual Academic WorldQuest competition held virtually on March 4.
The competition is usually hosted by Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus in the Indian Wells Theater, but arrangements were made to hold WorldQuest virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
