CSUDH Alumna Kristin McGuire Honored as Guardian of Democracy

April 20, 2023

Alumna Kristin McGuire

For CSUDH alumna Kristin McGuire, executive director/CEO of political advocacy group Young Invincibles, the desire to help change society for the better is more than a passing fancy. “It’s in my family’s DNA,” she says. McGuire’s great-grandfather attempted to build the first Black-owned store in his Southern community—until the Ku Klux Klan burned it down. Her grandmother was the first Black radio DJ in their area, and her mother was one of the first Black students to integrate her Alabama school system, at the age of seven years old. “You hear the story of Ruby Bridges, but there were a lot of Ruby Bridges out there, and my mom was one of those,” says McGuire. “To this day in her ...

Education is the Key for Black Resource Center Interim Director

March 22, 2023

Trimaine Davis

For Trimaine Davis, the new interim director of the CSUDH Black Resource Center (BRC), education was his way out of a generational cycle of addiction and depression. Now, he dedicates himself to helping others find the same opportunities. “I really take this seriously and do what I can to make sure that the doors that were opened for me remain open for those who are falling behind,” he says. Davis has traveled a long, hard road to get to his current position at CSUDH. Born to a drug-addicted mother and absentee father, he was placed into foster care at birth. When he was five years old, Davis’ paternal grandmother became his legal guardian, and he grew up with her in the hardscrabble East ... Read More

Asian & Pacific Cultural Center Opens Its Doors

After over a year of struggles and delays, the CSUDH Asian & Pacific Cultural Center (APCC) finally has a space to call its own. Located on the second floor of Welch Hall, in the offices formerly occupied by Financial Aid, the center is open to all Toro students, although its primary focus is on supporting the success of Asian and Pacific Islander students at the university. The APCC was established in Fall 2021, in response to student requests for an API-focused resource center. Inaugural program director Nathan Nguyen was hired in October 2021, and spent over a year working with administrators to secure a home for the center. “When I came on board, I assumed it would maybe take a ...

Toro Women’s Basketball Squad Earns Top Seed, Will Host NCAA Regionals

Toro Women’s Basketball Squad Earns Top Seed, Will Host NCAA Regionals

After a record-setting season that found the team rolling to a 28-2 record, the CSUDH women’s basketball team has earned a number one seed in the NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball Championship for the first time in the program’s history. As the top seed, the Toros will host the eight-team West Regional tournament on campus at the Torodome on March 10-13. The Toros' strong regular season was enough to convince the selection committee to give them a number one seed, despite a tough loss in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Tournament final. CSUDH’s loss to second seeded Cal State San Marcos wasn’t enough to bump them from the top spot. The Toros will kick off their ... Read More
