CSUSB empowers next generation of innovators with youth cyber summer camps
High school students from across the Inland Empire participated in two immersive, residential programs at Cal State San Bernardino focused on innovation, leadership and technology. The UpStarters Discovery Camp and WITH (Workforce Innovation Technology Hubs) Cyber Camp brought learning to life through hands-on workshops, dynamic evening events and a deep dive into college life.

CSUSB professor Oraib Mango partnered with Manuel A. Salinas Creative Arts Elementary School to present the fourth annual smARTshow — an exhibition of conceptual artwork by fourth and fifth graders.

The College Futures Foundation’s Four-Year California Mobility Index, along with national recognition by The Wall Street Journal and U.S. News & World Report, point to Cal State San Bernardino’s effort to help its students forge a pathway to a better life, preparing them for careers that will move them up the social and economic ladder.

Developed by Brianna Deadman and Juan Silva, the College-to-Community Mentorship Program will connect CSUSB students with underserved middle and high school students in the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley, aiming to increase college access through peer mentorship. It will be piloted by the CSUSB Honors College.
