Stan State has received a $745,997 National Science Foundation (NSF) award to fund programs and projects to provide educational opportunities for math and science majors pursuing a K-12 teaching credential.

In all, six California State University campuses received a combined $7.1 million in funding from the NSF's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, which were announced July 30.

Delta College students can earn a bachelor’s degree from Stanislaus State without ever leaving Stockton under an agreement announced today.

Human Resource students Brittany Guzman and Karina Ayala were awarded Lyn Boone Memorial Scholarships of $4,000 each in April at the annual HR Symposium held in Santa Clara. First awarded in 1994, the merit-based scholarships recognize outstanding HR students who show a passion for the profession and excel in 10 characteristics of professionalism including intellectual ability, written and oral expression, emotional maturity and community contributions.

As a child in Oklahoma City, Althea Fortune McClam always dreamed of going to college. She still remembers being eight years old and announcing to her family, “I want to go to UCLA.”

“I don’t know how I knew that,” she said. “I think I saw something about UCLA on television.”

Three students have been accepted into the Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) through their affiliation with Stanislaus State, with the goal of becoming California State University tenure-track instructional faculty members.

The three include Brett Ashmun, a full-time lecturer in liberal studies; Christine Parisek, a master’s student in ecology and sustainability; and Kelly Ward, who will be pursuing her doctorate in sociology.
