Action Group 1, “Outreach to community college and CSU students,” has two strands. One strand was conceived and is led by three alumni from CSU Northridge: Diana Blanco Hernandez (now a PhD student at UC Santa Cruz), Mary Usufzy (a master’s student at CSU Fullerton), and Vidya Venkatesan (a PhD student at UC Irvine). As undergraduates they ran workshops for lower-division CSU Northridge students about the Cal-Bridge program and its summer research program. Although we cannot know if the workshops were the cause, applications from CSU Northridge have increased in the time since those workshops were implemented.
