Marking the Biden-Harris administration’s first visit to California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), U.S. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal came to campus on April 7 to engage with students, learn how the university supports historically underserved and underrepresented college students, and discuss how the government can enact similar best practices on a national level.

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
