“We have to be careful not to take a broad brush on age-gap relationships (AGR) because, if we do that, we are ignoring the decisions of individual couples, which are based on a huge variety of factors. AGRs can work if the attraction is more than just passionate love or social exchange, and if there are other things that hold them together and not just initial passion or wanting to be young again.” – Beverly Palmer, former CSUDH psychology professor, was interviewed for the Good Housekeeping article “May-December Romances Are Uncommon, But Couples Can Make Them Work.”
Prakash L Dheeriya, professor of finance, was featured in the “Ask the Experts” section of the Wallethub article “Credit Cards for Bad Credit.” Dheeriya addressed the question “How can people improve their credit scores using a credit card for bad credit?”
