California State University, Stanislaus Executive Master of Business Administration students will present the results of a Turlock city-wide survey at this evening’s city council meeting.

After receiving 1,500 responses to a survey asking Turlock residents how they would like to use the city’s federal stimulus funds, city officials requested CSU Stanislaus Executive MBA students’ assistance in analyzing the survey results.

True to California State University, Stanislaus’ reputation for educating first-rate human resources professionals, students Danielle Fletcher and Vanessa Hunter recently won top National Society for Human Resource Management scholarships.

Turlock’s children need a miracle this holiday season.

For 15 years, a non-profit alliance of Turlock-based organizations called Turlock Together has helped Santa fill the space below Christmas trees in low-income Turlock residents’ homes.

The need is greater than ever before and time is ticking. About 6,000 new toys are needed this year. Thus far, Turlock Together only has 500. The alliance hopes to receive the rest within 21 calendar days, when the gifts will be collected and sorted for distribution.

In honor of veterans and those serving today, California State University, Stanislaus hosted its annual Thank a Veteran Day on Wednesday, Nov. 10.

They, other area veterans and supporters were invited to the event, which featured a posting of colors ceremony followed by a small reception and information fair for veterans of various ages and backgrounds. Participants signed cards that were sent to those currently serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The California State University Board of Trustees today approved a two-step tuition increase needed to sustain enrollment, classes and services for current students.  The Trustees approved a mid-year increase of five percent – or $105 - for 2010-11 that will go into effect Jan. 1, 2011 for the winter/spring terms.  In addition, the Trustees adopted a 10 percent - or $444 - annual increase for the 2011-12 academic year that would become effective for fall 2011. 
The California State University Board of Trustees today adopted a budget for 2011-12 calling for an increase of approximately $379 million in state general fund support from the governor and the Legislature.  Included in the budget proposal is a request for the state to provide $121.5 million to "buy out" a planned 2011-12 tuition increase.  These "buy-out" funds would make it possible for the CSU to rescind the tuition increase.
