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.

Congratulations to our high potential EOP students on their completion of their residential bridge experience. Our convocation took place on Sunday, December 4, 2016. Back in the summer of 2015, most of these students were admitted to our campus by EOP as "special-admit" freshmen. This means that CSU rejected these students due to their low grades in high school, but EOP leaders recognized their high potential. For a summer plus three semesters, EOP leaders provided support services, especially mentors, to help these students develop their potential. Now several are young scholars on our campus.

In a joyous and heartfelt event, the retirement of the esteemed Professor Omatsu was celebrated, honoring his remarkable career and unwavering service to our community. CSUN and EOP students, alumni, staff, community leaders, and administrators came together to express their deep gratitude for the invaluable inspiration and mentorship they received from Professor Omatsu throughout the years.
With a career marked by excellence and dedication, Professor Omatsu has left an indelible impact on the lives of those he touched. The event was filled with stories and tributes, highlighting the profound influence Professor Omatsu had on individuals, both personally and professionally. From his transformative guidance to his unwavering support, Professor Omatsu has played a pivotal role in shaping the journeys of countless EOP students and staff.
As we bid farewell to Professor Omatsu, we cherish the memories and lessons he imparted, carrying his legacy forward. The event served as a testament to the enduring influence of a great teacher, whose service to the community will continue to inspire generations to come.
