“This is a proud and exciting moment for our university. Today we welcome a tremendous new addition to CSUSB, a significant expansion to the resources available to our students, our campus and the entire community,” said university President Tomás D. Morales during its ribbon-cutting ceremony in late September.
The First People’s Center is the second such center among the colleges and universities in the Inland Empire. It encompasses various programs from sister CSU campuses to cater to the needs and serve as an additional resource to the First People students as well as the CSUSB campus community.
“Our goal is to enhance the CSUSB faculty experience by fostering creativity, learning, inquiry and exploration through community, collaboration and collegiality in a diverse, equitable and inclusive atmosphere,” said Cherstin Lyon, a CSUSB history professor and co-director of the center.
The opening of the Faculty Center for Excellence supports Goal 2 of CSUSB’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan by fostering faculty innovation, scholarship and discovery.
The center, which fulfills Goal 2 of the university’s 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, provides services that include training and development workshops, career track series, resume reviews and mock interviews.
“I am thrilled to see how much progress we’ve made in a short amount of time,” said Rowena Woidyla, director of the center. “We are one of the few CSU campuses to have our own center dedicated to staff development, and this could not happen without support from our leadership and campus community.”
