Do you know Paul? I hope so. Matter of fact, the chances are that you do -- in the way that I mean.
Paul introduced me to people. Historical people. I entered graduate school, kicking and screaming because history was such a big part of the core curriculum. Why should I be required to take so many history courses when there are so many other topics that are more relevant? I hated memorizing dates, names, and battles. And, why should we measure time by those criteria?
Then, I met Paul. He introduced himself by noting that dates are largely useless. We should know general time frames. And, he proceded to introduce us to the humanness of the people we studied. People with struggles and personal victories. Families and groups with great disfunction, yet they made a difference. People in whose lives ideas and loves were developed.
And, I was changed. In my late thirties, I started reading history. Because I wanted to! I still read it -- differently than before.
Do you know Paul? Your Paul might be Rhonda or Emilio, but it's still the person I mean. Someone whose teaching, coaching, or mentoring changed your life for the better.
I hope that I can possess some of Paul's qualities. The two of us do disagree on some matters. He welcomes disagreement! It's not his opinions that matter, but his ability to release me from my own limitations. Perhaps, when I grow up, I'll be a teacher like him.
Yesterday, ten years after I'd last seen Paul, I attended a workshop he was co-leading. How cool was that!

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.

As a former EOP student, Mr. Vargas led the program with passion, conviction, and professionalism. He mentored thousands of students and encouraged them to believe in themselves and succeed in higher education. His legacy will continue through the future scholarships given in his memory.
