Many of you know that I used to run track. Some of my most vivid memories from my days as an athlete in college are of people standing on the sidelines, watching the race and cheering as the runners went by.

Shawn Brown: Student, Athlete, and Paralympian

Attending college in Carson, working in Pasadena, and living in Playa del Rey, student Shawn Brown knows what it means to work hard. And, he was especially busy this fall preparing for the Paralympic Games. "Some people put on their glasses in the morning," he shrugged. "I pull on my leg."

Brown, 29, holds the Paralympics world record in the discus throw, and this was the second time he has competed as a member of the United States team in the Paralympic Games. They include athletes who are disabled -- paraplegics, tetraplegics, learning disabled, visually impaired, people with cerebral palsy, and amputees such as Brown, a student in the bachelor of science in health science, orthotics and prosthetics option.

Visiting Scholar Pursues "Technophobia" Research

A visiting scholar in psychology, Mark Jeremy Brosnan is more than 5,400 miles from his teaching post in London. But, holding court at CSU Dominguez Hills, he feels right at home.

Through the fall semester, Brosnan is examining "technophobia," or people's anxieties about high tech. The field of study was pioneered largely by Larry Rosen, professor of psychology at Dominguez Hills. In fact, says Brosnan, TechnoStress, Coping with Technology @ Work, @ Home, @ Play, by Rosen and clinical psychologist Dr. Michelle Weil is what hooked him on the subject.

CSUDH becomes a touchstone for student research in Chiapas, Mexico

The plants around us and how we use them reveals much about the story of human life since its beginning. Today, city life finds few of us picking our own fruits and vegetables - we buy them in the market, neatly displayed or wrapped with hardly a remnant of the bush, tree or vine. Our pharmaceuticals are encapsulated, bottled and clinically dispensed - no trace of an herb, flower or tree.
