It honors their elders, past and present, and the Sesevitam descendants, who are citizens of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians.

Parkinson Voice Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has named California State University, Northridge, Language Speech and Hearing Center as a recipient of its 2021 SPEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd Grant Program.
CSUN's Language Speech and Hearing Center is committed to offering Parkinson Voice Project’s effective speech therapy program in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley areas.
Up to 90% of people with Parkinson’s are at high risk of losing their ability to speak, and swallowing complications account for 70% of the mortality rate in this patient population. Our vision at Parkinson Voice Project is to make our highly effective speech therapy program accessible to people with Parkinson’s worldwide,” said Parkinson Voice Project’s Founder and CEO Samantha Elandary.
If you or someone you know is living with Parkinson's and can benefit from this program, please contact the Language, Speech & Hearing Center at lshc@csun .edu or (818) 677-2856. You can find out more about the center and its services here.
The Parkinson Voice Clinic currently operates Tuesdays and Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Oral histories are intentionally-created sources that document personal experiences of the past. For several decades CSUN students, faculty, and others have conducted oral history interviews with individuals who lived through significant historical events, participated in social movements, or experienced cultural trends that have shaped modern sociocultural perspectives. Some were completed as stand-alone interviews, while others were part of broader projects that focus on a particular theme, subject, event, or community.
Oral histories are tools for understanding the ways in which individuals make sense of their own pasts, and use memory to interpret their lives and the world around them. Perhaps most importantly, they can document communities previously ignored or concealed in the historical record by contributing perspectives that challenge and enhance dominant cultural narratives. Further, they invite listeners to investigate silences and discrepancies between different peoples' memories.
Memory can be distorted by age, biases in interviewers and interviewees, and the primacy of well-established narratives, but this inherent unreliability can also be a strength. An oral history's exclusive focus on a single individual can amplify under-documented perspectives. While the insertion of un-checked bias into the record is a danger, individual subjectivity can provide listeners clues about what historical experiences meant to real people, the interplay between memory and personal identity, the challenges of interpreting memories within broader cultural contexts, and even the conflict between personal and historical truth.
The CSUN Homegrown Group aims to link fellow CSUN alumni who currently serve as faculty or staff within the Matador community. In keeping with the diversity and inclusion the campus fosters we will utilize our strengths rooted throughout the campus to support and build resources within the group.
The Homegrown committee has put together a fall calendar with a mixture of in-person and virtual activities that will allow members to see the dates, times, and events in advance to plan accordingly. We hope you can join!
