The passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 ended a nearly century-long battle for the right for women to vote. In recognition of those early activists and reformers, and those carrying the torch today, CSUDH students have honored their lives and legacy with the online exhibition “100 Years of the Women’s Vote.” Presented by the Donald R. & Beverly J. Gerth Archives and Special Collections and the Women's Studies Program at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) - with funding from a $5,000 California Humanities grant - the exhibit has been physically on display since early spring 2020, but has been unavailable for public viewing due to the COVID-19 ...

I found some nice wildlife shots for you. And yes, there is yet more UFO news. Before we move on, this is a gentle reminder that you'll find our weekly Q&A if you scroll down. Last week, I talked with a university psychologist about what ... Read More

Sociology Professor Katy Pinto Featured in CSU Article ‘Minding the Gap’
Faculty and staff across the California State University are working together to narrow the academic equity gap with help from an innovative professional development program. By: Hazel Kelly It's the little things that count. As simple as it sounds, sometimes just connecting with a student or showing concern can have an impact on their performance in class. For historically underserved and first-generation college students, these connections really count. That's what CSU Dominguez Hills sociology professor Katy Pinto, Ph.D., along with a team from her campus, discovered when they analyzed data for courses in which underrepresented students were performing better than their peers to ...
