California State University, Stanislaus President Dr. Hamid Shirvani announced today the appointment of two new endowed professorships in education and nursing.

Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton Professor of Teacher Education
Dr. Elmano Costa, a professor of Teacher Education, was named the Christie Sue Whalen-Saxton Professor of Teacher Education. This endowment was established to support and enhance teacher-training programs. Ms. Whalen-Saxton received her B.A. degree in 1977 and her teaching credential in 1979 from CSU Stanislaus.
The California State University, Stanislaus Police Department has purchased its first patrol car in five years.
 
University Police used self-generated funding, rather than state funds, to purchase the Chevrolet Camaro for $27,249.
 
After the 1994 economic downturn that led to steep state budget cuts, the department developed a plan to offset cuts by generating its own revenue. The department generates its own revenue by processing parking tickets for three community colleges and six other state universities.
Having won first and third place at the State Human Resources Collegiate Competition this past earlier this month, California State University, Stanislaus will advance to the Pacific Western Regional Championship on March 20.

The Jeopardy-style games are an annual academic event designed to foster friendly competition among university students while preparing them for careers in human resources.
Students with the best research projects will win up to $500 in the 24th annual California State University Student Research Competition on March 19.

WHO: The competition is open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled at CSU Stanislaus. Alumni who received their degrees in spring, summer or fall of 2009 are also eligible.

WHAT: The research presented should be appropriate to the student’s discipline and career goals.

WHEN: The deadline to enter is March 8. The campus-wide competition will be held March 19.
For the fourth straight year, California State University, Stanislaus has received the President’s Higher Education Community Service Award.

CSU Stanislaus was one of only seven California State University campuses to receive the national honor roll distinction.

“This award showcases the excellent work faculty, staff and students are doing in our community. As evidenced by this recognition, CSU Stanislaus is working diligently during these very difficult economic times to be an agent for positive change,” said President Dr. Hamid Shirvani.
