CSUSB honored a group of students who are the inaugural recipients of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF), a two-year program that provides financial support, research mentorship and assistance with graduate school applications to underrepresented students who intend to pursue a doctorate in the humanities.
The chosen MMUF students and their faculty mentors are:
Jasmine Colorado, history/literature

Faculty mentor: Ryan Keating, associate professor of history
Scott Romo, communications – media studies
Faculty mentor: Thomas Corrigan, associate professor of communication studies

The main objective of the MMUF grant is to address, over time, the problem of underrepresentation in college and university faculties.
