Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the 2018-2019 Academic Year! While I have the joy of welcoming everyone to the new school year, it is the CSUN family that has welcomed me warmly to the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Despite being new to CSUN and California, I feel completely at home. The warmth reverberates through every smile and every interaction that I have had ranging from lunch with Interim Dean Matthew Cahn (now Interim Vice Provost), Chairs, greeting and dining with students during freshman orientation, meeting faculty while walking through Sierra Hall, and even joining the local community here on the Oviatt Library lawn for the Associated Students Summer Film Series.
