Evolving federal requirements have changed the way that universities address sexual violence. More resources are being directed toward anti-violence education, victim support and “see something, say something” training. Reporting requirements have changed as well.

At Stanislaus State, the number of sexual assaults rose from two in 2013 to seven in 2014, according to the University’s annual Campus Security Report, which was released Oct. 1.

Kinesiology Olympics Champions DeVonte Driver and Erica Hernandez.

​There was no hiding the fierceness of the competition as kinesiology students rowed, jumped, scooted, threw and displayed feats of strength, all in the pursuit of lavish prizes.

Well, maybe the prizes weren’t so lavish, and perhaps the competition was more fun than fierce at the 17th annual California State University, Stanislaus Kinesiology Olympics. But then, that’s the whole point.

The most engaged volunteers often are those with the busiest schedules. As One Purpose volunteers aim to raise $1 million in only six weeks, their belief in the importance of education inspires them to do their part to meet the fundraising challenge for student scholarships. 

 

While running to become Turlock’s mayor, Gary Soiseth frequently mentioned his intent to donate his mayoral stipend to fund public policy research at California State University, Stanislaus.

That campaign promise has become reality as the University announces completion of the agreement to create the “Mayor’s Award,” a fund that will support a special public policy competition.

 


First-year head coach Mallori Gibson-Rossi has the Stanislaus State volleyball team off to its best start since becoming a scholarship program in 1998.

The baseball team’s top reliever is not starting in goal for the men’s soccer team, and the All-American distance runner is not about to don the libero jersey and step on the volleyball court.

But in the grand scheme of California State University, Stanislaus athletics, that’s exactly the kind of cross-program support driving the Warriors’ unprecedented early-semester success.

 

For the 20th consecutive year, California State University, Stanislaus has been ranked among the best regional colleges in the West by U.S. News and World Report.

The rankings, released Wednesday, placed Stanislaus State No. 15 among public universities in the West region — the same spot the University garnered last year — and No. 57 regionally among all four-year colleges.

 

The room was alive with energy and excitement as volunteers came together last night to report their fundraising progress for One Purpose, the annual fundraising campaign for California State University, Stanislaus. In the first two weeks of the effort to raise $1 million for student scholarships, volunteers reported $87,500 in pledges.

 

California State University, Stanislaus has received more national accolades, with Washington Monthly’s annual college rankings guide including the University among its top schools in the nation for master’s programs, and one of the top schools in the west region for value.
