Thinking of starting to save for college this holiday season?
ScholarShare 529 is offering a special incentive this December - a $50 Target gift card - when you open a new ScholarShare 529 account between December 9-13, 2020 with $50 and set up an Automatic Contribution Plan of $25 or more for six months.
Even in times like these parents are still concerned with the cost of college. It's important that families take that initial step of opening an account and begin the process of saving as much and as early as possible, this special incentive offer will help California families do that.
ScholarShare 529 is administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board, which is chaired by California State Treasurer Fiona Ma. For the last 20 years, ScholarShare 529 has grown to more than 325,000 accounts with more than $9 billion in total plan assets as of October 2020. ScholarShare 529 offers families a diverse set of investment options, tax-deferred growth and withdrawals free from slate and federal taxes when funds are used for qualified higher education expenses, such as tuition and fees, computer equipment, books or certain room and board costs.

President Dianne F. Harrison and the Cabinet
cordially invite you
to a Virtual 2020 CSUN Winter Celebration
to recognize the commitment and many contributions
of our faculty and staff.
View the invitation and RSVP here.
As we continue to manage through the COVID-19 pandemic, those who are returning to campus, and those who are already on site, will notice a number of measures that have been put in place to minimize the spread of infection and keep our workplaces safer for you and your colleagues.
You should have received an email notice that prior to returning to campus to work, CSUN faculty, staff, and student employees are required to complete an online course called “Returning to Campus Guide for Employees.” The notice contained a link to CSU Learn, the Campus Learning Management System.
The 23-minute online course provides information on CSUN’s COVID-19 guidelines and shared responsibilities, as well as strategies for limiting the spread of the disease. Human Resources will assist department heads who are responsible for tracking the training completion for their workgroups.
Please note:
A safe work environment is only possible when everyone participates; therefore, some of these actions will require your active engagement. Because of the “connectedness” nature of our work and the volatility of the pandemic, we must share the responsibility of protecting ourselves and each other.
For questions or issues with accessing the training, email CSU-Learn @csun.edu.

The December issue of INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine is now available online and for download at insightintodiversity.com. This issue celebrates the fifth annual INSIGHT Into Diversity Health Professions Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Awards.
The December issue explores what a Biden-Harris administration means for the future of diversity and inclusion in higher education, how colleges and universities can support faculty mental health during times of stress, and why women are more likely to be silenced in online work and education environments. It also investigates the disturbing trend of White faculty impersonating marginalized scholars, takes a look at recent research on Muslim inclusivity on campus, and more.
