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

Should universities participate in school rankings reports?
Nicholas Manaquil
Fourth-year business administration major at California State University, Northridge
“I think it’s a good idea for some schools [to withdraw] because obviously not everyone can be the best,” Manaquil said. He believes that while many campuses benefit from rankings systems, students would not want to be associated with campuses with low evaluations.
Thus, he asked, “why would a school opt in [if they] have that ranking?” -- Lake County Record-Bee
