Behind the scenes of Netflix's comedy, "Space Force"

Netflix's satirical comedy “Space Force” has been one of the streaming service's most popular shows since its May 29 debut – and millions of viewers are getting a great look at the CSUDH campus every time they tune in.

Take a look at some of these snapshots in CSUDH's history. FUN FACTS: The Palos Verdes Peninsula was the proposed location of the campus. As planning continued, alternative sites were considered in Torrance, Culver City, and the Rancho San Pedro land known as Dominguez Hills. CSUDH held its ... Read More
