“Education plays a vital role in helping form and shape the future of a country.”

When
Climathon, a 24-hour global climate change challenge, came to Long
Beach in October 2017, CSULB grad Anshu Pallav was more than ready to contribute.
The annual event invites innovators in major cities worldwide to help
humanity achieve zero fossil fuel emissions in the next 30 years. Having
just earned his Master of Science in Geographic Information Science
(MSGISci) degree, Pallav presented his idea for a local solution that
stemmed directly from his experience in the program.

Everyone knows that a bad day can
quickly improve with the appearance of a furry friend. Emotional support
pets are appearing with increasing frequency, but where is the science
to back up the necessity of these creature comforts? Questions
like that have been on the mind of Emily Craig, a 2018 graduate of
CSULB’s Master of Science in Emergency Services Administration (EMER)
program. As a Senior Emergency Medical Specialist at the Riverside
County Fire Department, she is well aware of the stress that results
from the intense situations, sleep deprivation, and repetitive mental
anguish that first responders often experience. Without positive methods
of processing these experiences, firefighters can often fall prey to
negative behaviors including drugs, alcohol, and even suicide.

But children in these communities still need an education, and CSULB instructor Rick Opland has been bringing groups of study abroad students to the area to lend a helping hand.
