CSUSB to continue in-person campus operations with some modifications for outdoor activities.

Dear Campus Community:

Our thoughts are with the families and community members impacted by the recent fires in our area. We recognize how difficult this time is for everyone at CSUSB and want you to know that your safety is our highest priority. We are working closely with local emergency services to stay informed and ensure the well-being of our entire community.

At this time, the CSUSB San Bernardino campus is not currently included in evacuation orders or warnings issued by CALFIRE for the Line Fire that started in Highland on Thursday. However, due to the ongoing fire situation in Highland and the Mountain Communities, the following modifications will be made to campus operations for Monday, September 9th:

  • In-person instruction and business operations will continue as normal
  • Building air handling systems will be modified to limit outdoor air to reduce the circulation of smoke and ash inside of campus buildings.
  • Outdoor activity classes, athletic practices, and other planned outdoor activities will be moved indoors or rescheduled. Students should check with faculty or event organizers for additional information.

Campus leadership will continue to monitor the situation and make operational adjustments as required to ensure the safety of our campus community.  Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know needs support during this challenging time.

Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

The new Phase of LSAMP starts September 1, 2024.

Please wait until then to complete a new Application to LSAMP.

About

The California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) program is a joint project of the National Science Foundation, and the California State University. From the CSUS LSAMP website: CSU-LSAMP’s overall goal for the project is to contribute to the development of a STEM workforce, which is broadly inclusive, globally competitive, and prepared to participate at the frontiers of science. Specifically, CSU-LSAMP aims to:

  1. enhance the academic and professional preparation of CSU-LSAMP participants, most of whom are students from underrepresented minorities (URM), for careers in STEM;
  2. further improve persistence and graduation rates for CSU-LSAMP participants;
  3. increase aggregate production of STEM degrees awarded by the CSU to URM students;
  4. increase the number of CSU-LSAMP students who advance to STEM graduate study; and
  5. document, disseminate, and replicate undergraduate intervention models that increase access to, and success in STEM baccalaureate degree programs and facilitate admissions to STEM graduate programs.

In order to achieve these objectives, the CSU-LSAMP program at CSUSB facilitates:

  • The LSAMP Summer Problem-Solving Workshop, designed to improve student problem-solving abilities in order to support success in STEM courses. This is a multi-week program that runs mostly in June. Students participating in the LSAMP Summer Workshop receive a stipend, and valuable support in their major.
  • Support for Student Research in STEM.
  • Information and support to obtain research opportunities for Juniors and Seniors, support for applying to graduate school, as well as support to attend conferences to present research or obtain information about graduate school.

See the Program Description tab for more information.

The 2024-2029 CSU-LSAMP program is funded by NSF grant EES-#2308501.

Eligibility

To be eligible to participate in CSU-LSAMP, a student must:

  1. Be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  2. Be enrolled at a participating CSU campus in an undergraduate major in a STEM discipline or have expressed an interest in pursuing a STEM baccalaureate degree
  3. Be an individual interested in pursuing graduate studies or join the workforce in a STEM field outside the health profession degrees or careers.
  4. Be an individual who has faced or faces social, educational, or economic barriers to STEM careers.
