Memories Of The Northridge Earthquake Ripple As CSUN Takes Part In The Great ShakeOut
"We all live in a state of denial," said CSUN Geological Sciences Professor Doug Yule, who was a graduate student at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena at the time and felt the shaking. "Because it's a scary thing. But the message is, there are things you can do to prepare so that you can be part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem. You're not injured and needing help, you're actually able to take care of your self." -- Toshiba
To help those who need to stay close to home, state tells CSU to favor local students in admission
For example, at Cal State Northridge, local students are sure to be admitted if they meet minimum requirements and apply to majors that are not impacted. But they are not guaranteed a spot in the much-demand programs in accounting, biology, cinema and television, psychology and kinesiology, according to Juana Maria Valdivia, director of student outreach and recruitment. So she and her staff encourage high school seniors to earn higher than minimum GPA and test scores to enter those majors. -- Long Beach Press-Telegram
