The Power Of Innovation At Hispanic Serving Institutions

There are 571 Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) in the United States, educating 62% of Latinx students across the nation. Moreover, according to Excelencia in Education, over 400 colleges and universities are on their way to becoming HSIs due to a rapidly growing Latinx population. California State University, Northridge (CSUN) is one of the nation’s largest HSIs and is committed to building on its HSI designation to foster equity in innovation. With the support of Autodesk, a software company, CSUN recently broke ground on the new Autodesk Technology Engagement Center. The Engagement Center will accommodate design, research, fabrication, and mentorship. It will also house the academic programs of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and a Global HSI Equity Innovation Hub. -- Forbes Magazine

​BEING 80: TOO OLD TO CHANGE? to Play Hollywood Fringe Festival in June

Art Shulman (Writer, actor): Art thinks he's written more original full-length plays produced in LA in the past few decades than any other playwright -- close to twenty-five original full-length plays, and a lot more one-acts. He also sometimes directs and acts in them. At 80 years of age, he's in good physical (and, hopefully, mental) shape. He still plays full-court basketball, takes daily walks, lifts weights, and gardens. Until retiring in 2019 he was a professor at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). -- Broadway World Los Angeles
