Up
Front
with President Lyons
Before I was privileged to join a university where I worked as a teacher, I toiled in the trenches of public education as a tutor helping young people in the inner city find their way. And, while I was helping them discover themselves, I found myself, too.
What
I discovered was my talent for effecting positive change in the community
that I serve. That is why I pursued my career as a policy maker in public
education — to make a difference. That is why I made my way here, to
make a difference every day
at our university, in our community.

Grant Extended to CSUDH for Project Exploring Laws of Nature
The web site reads like science fiction. "Deep inside the Kamioka zinc mine 5 km. S.E. of Mozumi, Japan," says www.csudh.edu/neutrion, "a cylindrical tank 40 m. in diameter and depth, is filled with 50,000 tons of highly purified water. 11,200 20-inch photomultiplier tubes surround the tank and scan for solar, atmospheric, and supernova neutrinos, for neutrino oscillations, for nucleon decay, and more.
