Spurred by George Floyd’s murder and the ensuing protests for social justice, Stanislaus State has created a 23-member Campus Advisory Board on University Policing and Community Safety (CABUPCS) that will focus on improving communication and relationships between the campus community, the City of Turlock and the University Police Department (UPD). 

Earning a college education is not an easy task for anyone, but it can be more challenging for students with visual impairments. 

That journey got a little smoother, though, for three Stanislaus State students who each were awarded a $10,000 Dale M. Schoettler Scholarship for Visually Impaired Students. 

Jose (JC) Aguirre, Morgan Jacobs and Jon Able, were among 39 California State University students to earn the scholarship for the 2020-21 academic year. 

The national economic recovery from the pandemic is continuing at a slower pace, due to emerging variants of the COVID-19 virus and a reluctance among some populations to seek vaccination. Reaching vaccination goals in late spring will speed up the rate of economic recovery in the second half of 2021, but complete recovery in the San Joaquin Valley — as measured by the region’s full employment levels — is not expected to take place until the end of 2023.

Six Stanislaus State credential candidates with student teaching assignments in San Joaquin County are the first to receive scholarships from the University’s recently established Ocella Riley Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Jennifer Ramos, Ranae Handel Merrill, Deanne Mendoza, Kayla Wise, Amritpal Maan and Kayla Borders have each been awarded $1,250 to cover expenses while they train to be teachers.
