Next Step: Empowering Students to Spot and Reject Undesirable Behavior

CSU Stanislaus has hired its first confidential sexual assault victim advocate, affirming its commitment as a safe, learning-conducive campus. Now the University is seeking to improve campus culture by training students to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable dating behavior.

The campus bloomed with red attire as a sign of Warrior pride when alumni, students, parents, faculty and staff celebrated Homecoming Week with a “Paint the Town Red” theme from Feb. 2 to 7. Participants reminisced about college life, connected with fellow alumni among co-workers and cheered for the home team at basketball games.

“Every student writes. Every student could write better.”

That is the message behind a new initiative at CSU Stanislaus that emphasizes the importance of effective communication, not only in the classroom but throughout life.

CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White shared the university's priorities for 2015-16 and his vision for the CSU in his second annual “State of the CSU” address during the Board of Trustees meeting on January 27, 2015.

A family tradition will return to campus this summer — the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. The Chamber of Commerce and the University are teaming up for the event, which is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. with numerous activities for kids and families. The celebration will culminate with a spectacular fireworks display, said Sharon Silva, CEO of the chamber.

“We’re really excited to partner with the University because it’s such a wonderful venue,” Silva said. “It’s great to bring the event back to campus, where it started decades ago.”
