Every year during Black History Month, California State University, Northridge hosts a wide array of events to honor the legacy and future of the black community. February’s events will be hosted by several departments and campus bodies. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Voices & Visions: Black Future 2020,” and include the following events:
The first meeting of the Trustees' Committee for the Selection of the President will be held in an open forum from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3, in the CSUN University Student Union Northridge Center. The open meeting will be followed by a closed meeting.
The open forum will be web-streamed live (and web-archived) on the President Search webpage, where individuals may also provide their input.
CSU Trustee Debra Farar will chair the committee. The other trustee members include: Larry Adamson, Maryana Khames and Lillian Kimbell, as well as Trustee Chair Adam Day and CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White.
Board policy requires the chair of the CSU trustees to appoint an Advisory Committee to the Trustees' Committee. The Advisory Committee is composed of representatives from the faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as a member of a campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by the campus's constituency groups. Also on the Advisory Committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus, and a president of another CSU campus—both selected by the chancellor. Both committees function as one unified group.
Members of the Advisory Committee for the Selection of the President include:
The purpose of the meeting in an open forum is to: review the role of the committee, receive comments and input from the public and campus community, explain the search process and confidentiality, confirm the schedule of meetings, discuss preferred attributes of the next president, review the descriptions and needs of the campus and presidential position, and discuss any other business related to the search process.
Over the next several months, the committee will review candidates and conduct interviews.

As part of the Spring 2020 Provost’s Student Success Series, the planning committee invites faculty and staff to submit proposals for presentations from across the university that examine ways to bolster student success in the classroom and beyond, using actionable, equitable, and inclusive practices with a special focus on closing equity gaps and reducing DFUs.
This event is part of the Provost’s ongoing Student Success lecture and workshop series that was launched in Fall 2019. Events in the series encourage campus-wide conversation on current and emerging student success efforts and highlight best practices across divisions while providing a collaborative framework for adding value to the many efforts underway. Presentations will be 20 minutes with an additional 10 minutes for Q&A for an allotted total of 30 minutes. To maximize your time, please focus on one or two specific strategies that you use in your work that have demonstrated success in improving DFU rates and/or closing equity gaps.
Presentations will take place between 2:00 p.m and 4:00 p.m. on March 10, 2020. A reception will follow the event.
To ensure full consideration, proposals should be submitted by 4:00 p.m. on February 7.
