The primary goal of HPPP is to encourage and support disadvantaged and underrepresented individuals who plan to pursue health careers, which will also lead to a more culturally competent workforce.

Toros Attend FBI Diversity Recruitment Event

October 5, 2022

Emanuel Prince stood behind a throng of other college students and watched intently as two FBI agents behind a booth marked “Evidence Response Team” demonstrated how to test fabric for traces of blood. Prince, a senior sociology major and Presidential Scholar at CSUDH, was one of a couple hundred students from 11 CSU and UC campuses across Southern California who were invited to learn about potential career paths at the FBI.

Bobbie Porter: Fighter for Equity and Diversity

August 18, 2022

Bobbie Porter's reflection in a window.

Bobbie Porter’s passion and enthusiasm for her work are evident the moment she starts speaking—and she’s ready to put that energy to work as CSUDH’s first vice president and chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer. “Education changed my life,” she says. “If you look at the statistics, there's no way I should be where I am today. But I'm here. My mission is to help anyone that’s choosing education as that bridge, as that gateway to a better life. I want to help create the conditions so students can do that—so they don't just survive college, but they thrive in it. And then they go out and change the world!” Porter grew up in a military family—her father was in the Navy, so she ... Read More

Source: Symmetry Magazine It took Ximena Cid three tries to pass her introductory physics class as an undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. Most people would have given up after the first attempt, and certainly after the second. But “I’m really stubborn,” Cid says.  She was especially stubborn about passing a class in which she was both the only woman and, as an Indigenous Chicana, the only person of color. “When people tell me I don't belong in places, or I'm not good enough, it really gets me fired up and motivated just to prove them wrong,” Cid says.  Now, as an associate professor and chair of the physics department at California State ...

Faculty often face a steep learning curve when they begin their careers. In addition to juggling courses and research, they must navigate the complex maze of academia, its power structures, and its demands. For faculty from underrepresented populations, the experience can be especially isolating and discouraging. To address this, a collaborative CSU research project aims to improve retention and tenure for early-career, underrepresented, faculty in STEM by providing strengths-based training and personalized support.  “CSU AGEP Alliance for Diversity and Strengths of STEM Faculty” implements, evaluates, and scales the Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) ...
