March marks the anniversary of the passing of beloved EOP Director, José Luis Vargas. Three years after his passing, he continues to be missed and remembered by the CSUN EOP community.
Mr. Vargas led EOP with passion, conviction, and professionalism. He mentored thousands of students and uplifted them to believe in themselves and succeed in higher education. The program's mission will continue through the dedication and hard work of its leaders, staff, and most of all our EOP students.

The Backpack Community Tour (www.backpackers.co.za) starts with a visit to the Bo-Kaap, including the infamous Atlas Trading. Then we head to the District 6 Museum, before having lunch at the Eastern Food Bazaar in Darling Street.
After lunch we go to Heideveld, where the GCU Academy is based at Woodlands Primary School. Here you will have the opportunity to play soccer with the kids, help them with their homework or read to them, whilst seeing what the GCU (www.gcu.org.za) is about and how they are making big changes.

Solar Water Disinfection" SODIS
ICROSS with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland has carried out extensive research on
solar disinfection of drinking water. Our findings suggest that solar disinfection of water may
significantly reduce morbidity in communities with no other means of disinfecting drinking
water, because of lack of resources or in the event of a disaster.

Celebrating our amazing EOP Class of 2023! We take great pride in recognizing the remarkable journeys of our exceptional students. Did you know that some of our brightest minds began their CSUN adventure as special admits? EOP leaders saw their immense potential beyond high school grades and with mentoring and support these individuals blossomed into successful college graduates!
Let's also take a moment to honor and celebrate those who were part of our EOP Resilient Scholars Program, designed to provide unwavering support to former foster youth throughout their academic pursuit. These resilient individuals have proven time and again that they are true overachievers, surpassing all expectations along their journey.
As we bid farewell to the EOP Class of 2023, we couldn't be prouder of their remarkable accomplishments and unwavering determination.

I've taken my share (or more) of photos showing the evils of littering and trashing the environment. At some point, focusing on how bad things are can get depressing, as does wallowing in pessimism. So, it's refreshing to show people, for a change, doing something to remedy the problem -- i.e., helping clean the nest that's been so badly fouled. These are some of the volunteers who cleaned up several miles of the Flint River, east of Huntsville, on June 2nd. Besides the canoers, a few "landlubbers" also picked up trash and litter around two bridges and landings.
The system we have installed in Ilkilorit comprises a heavy duty rubber bag as the digester. It sits mostly above ground and uses PVC pipes for inputs and outputs. Plastic gas pipes tap the gas from the digester and transfer it to the point of use. Early research has shown the waste from one cow (10-15kg per day) is enough to sustain a household of 4 people, meeting their domestic fuel needs for cooking. It is also possible to run a converted generator off the gas that can make electricity to power homes, schools and shops, or recharge batteries.

Grace Simon and her family poses for a picture with students on the final presentation date for EECS 481 in the Bob and Betty Beyster Building atrium on December 11, 2013.
EECS 481 Students in EECS Professor David Chesney's course have been designing systems to make it easier for Grace Simon to communicate, play, or be more independent at school or home.
Simon was diagnosed with cerebal palsy at six months old. While Grace doesn't have the muscle control to speak, extensively sign, or walk, she has a very capable mind that can read and communicate by signaling 'yes' or 'no.'

Over the course of 4 days, May 15-18, volunteers from Qualcomm, local residents, business owners, and artists will converge in the alleyways to take part in their transformation by painting murals, installing signage, marking pathways, installing lights, weeding and planting, and a variety of other designs as determined by the community. This event will culminate into a series of block parties in each project location, featuring music, food, and guest speakers.

ICROSS, with funding from the Global Fund, has a home based care programme where 170 volunteers care for terminally ill aids patients. ICROSS is in charge of the training of the community health workers (CHVs) and distribution of prophylaxis and nutritional supplements among other things. We quickly realised the stigma and discrimination our volunteers met, both external and internal. After close dialogue with a number of volunteers, a comprehensive stigma and discrimination workshop was tailored. The workshop was incorporated into a refresher course for our CHVs on home based care.

SINGAPORE - COASTAL CLEAN UP. Our Singapore team rolled up their sleeves, braved the heat and give back to the community by spending a day picking up litter - cigarette butts, plastic utensils, plastic bottle, lids, etc…) and record what they've collected. The data collected during the International Coastal Clean-up will be used to raise awareness & create solutions to the problems of marine waste and litter.
