Anthropology Graduate Brings Personal Perspective to Research

May 20, 2022

Lukas Daniels

The CSUDH Class of 2022 has had many obstacles to overcome to reach graduation—and graduating senior Lukas Daniels (BA, Anthropology) is no different. He transferred from El Camino College to CSUDH in the spring of 2020, just in time for the campus to “go virtual” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As he and his fellow students were navigating the transition to online learning, Daniels was dealing with his own unique challenges. He lives with Hyper Mobile Joint Disorder, which causes chronic pain in his joints, fingers, and limbs. “My joints kind of move in place when they're not supposed to,” he explains. His hypermobility issues can make typing painful and difficult—an obvious problem ... Read More

Aspiring Prosthetist Grads Specialize in Empathy

May 19, 2022

Kroener and Bretado making Toro hand signal

For Martha Bretado and Rachel Kroener, the field of prosthetics is about much more than creating new artificial limbs for patients. As people who have physical disabilities themselves, the two students understand the importance of fostering community with their patients, building up their confidence, and showing them life’s full range of possibilities. Bretado and Kroener became close friends during their graduate studies in CSUDH’s Orthotics and Prosthetics program, having bonded over their shared experiences and passion for the disability community. This semester, they graduate from CSUDH’s Orthotics and Prosthetics program with their master’s degrees in health sciences with the ... Read More

LAist: CSU Women’s Centers

May 13, 2022

Students on campus

Source: LAist Students and faculty weren’t on campus this past December when Cal State Fullerton quietly closed its WoMen’s and Adult Re-entry Center. Rebecca Dolhinow, a professor in the Women and Gender Studies Department, found out about it through passing comments at a Zoom meeting. When it finished, she emailed her colleagues to learn more. “What do you mean it's closed?” they wrote back. “What do you mean it's gone?” The center provided programming to support women, LGBTQ+, and nontraditional students, like parents and those who transfer to the university past the age of 25. The surprised faculty took these questions to university leadership. In response, Cal State ... Read More

CSUDH Mental Health Resources Expand and Adapt

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic and its ensuing hardships, college students were not immune to the nation’s widespread rise in mental health issues. Studies from the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) found that pre-COVID, one in four young adults between the ages of 18 and 24 had a diagnosable mental illness. Among college students nationally, a recent Mayo Clinic study found that 30 percent reported experiencing depression in the past year, while 50 percent said they had felt “overwhelming anxiety” during the same time frame. Paradoxically, the restrictions placed on in-person meetings and counseling have made receiving mental health services more difficult. Creative ... Read More
