LEARN WITH COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE CSU!

Many professional & personal development classes that were formerly in-person are now offered virtually. This gives us a unique opportunity to extend campus classes beyond campus borders and offer a new way to share professional development across the CSU!

Chancellor’s Office, Channel Islands, Chico, East Bay, Fresno, Humboldt, Long Beach, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, and Stanislaus

Please join us Thursday for the first event in the 2022-2023 Matador S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Series: “CSUN’s Social Justice Legacy: EOP, Ethnic Studies, and the Path Forward.” There will be a panel of guest speakers who will discuss the role CSUN’s students and faculty played (formerly San Fernando Valley State College) in the push for the state to make higher education both accessible and relevant to minoritized students and how this fight for social justice informs our current practices.  

Following the panel discussion will be an outdoor reception.  

We hope you can join us for our first in-person event since 2020! This is an open invitation to all staff, faculty, and students, so please invite your colleagues! You can access a printable version of the below flyer here.
