Parent Leadership Academy Fosters Support for First-Gen Families

March 2, 2022

Jen Stacy and Yesenia Fernandez

For the families of first-generation college students, universities can seem unfamiliar and inaccessible. New terminologies and processes can alienate students and their parents, who want to be able to provide support and guidance to their children. Two faculty members at CSUDH are trying to change that dynamic through the Parent Leadership Academy—a forum through which parents can connect, share knowledge, and navigate CSUDH together. Assistant Professor Yesenia Fernández and Associate Professor Jen Stacy, both in the College of Education, pitched the idea of a parent academy for President Thomas Parham’s President’s Challenge competition in 2020. After their idea received funding, they ... Read More

Homecoming 2022 Brings Toro Alums Back to Campus

CSUDH celebrated Homecoming 2022 on Saturday, Feb. 19, welcoming hundreds of Toro alumni and their families back to campus for a day of fun activities, reunions, and discovery.

Parham, who spoke at the event. “I’m thrilled to showcase not just the infrastructure changes, but to highlight the curriculum changes ... Read More

Fab Lab Teams with Toyota to Bring Dream Cars to Life

January 6, 2022

Bring Dream Cars to Life

Students working in the fabrication labs in CSUDH’s Center for Innovation in STEM Education (CISE) got an accelerated course in hands-on project management and design in 2021, when they partnered with Toyota USA for the company’s annual Toyota Dream Car USA Art Contest. Each year, children between the ages of 4 and 15 enter the contest, drawing fantastical images that illustrate the car of their dreams. In early 2021, Toyota’s Social Innovation Division approached CISE Director Kamal Hamdan with the idea of using the Science and Innovation Building’s fabrication labs to create 3D replicas of the winning entries. “The Dream Car Art Contest encourages youth to dream of the future of ...

We’ve partnered with a lot of departments over the years, including the Office of External ... Read More
