CSUSB administrator earns First Star Brilliance Award at 25th anniversary celebration
Kurt Manio, director of CSUSB’s First Star Academy and associate director of Cal-SOAP, was recognized with the First Star Brilliance Award for his exceptional leadership, commitment and impact at the First Star 25th Anniversary Celebration — an inspiring evening of storytelling, recognition and reflection on a legacy of service to youth in foster care.
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.
Cal State San Bernardino hosted law enforcement leader and changemaker Ryan Tillman for an inspiring keynote on his “Happy Eyes” philosophy, where he encouraged students, faculty and staff to lead with love, empathy and respect through stories drawn from his personal and professional life.
