91短视频

At 91短视频, we are creating opportunities not only for our students but for those in the greater Hayward community and East Bay region.

According to , a child’s likelihood of out-earning their parents has fallen 40 percent in the last century; however, at 91短视频 44 percent of students whose families were in the bottom fifth of income when they started at the university moved to the top fifth as adults. In addition, according to a study published in the U.S. News & World Report, a four-year degree can nearly double the lifetime earnings of a high school graduate. For our students, that shift begins before they enter our classrooms on our campuses and starts with the work we do throughout our communities.

Our university boasts several projects and programs designed to not only address the most pressing needs of the high schools in Hayward but create opportunities to help those students envision themselves attending and graduating college. The Hayward Promise Neighborhoods Student Success Program funds student success coaches who work in Hayward high schools to identify and support at-risk students. Coaches Anthony Jackson and Michael Harris (B.S. ‘86, Criminal Justice) make home visits, talk to teachers and administrators to make sure their students’ voices are heard, poke their heads into tutoring sessions and work to be seen as allies on campus.

Another program creating a bridge between the university and local high schools is an effort led by kinesiology assistant professor Vanessa Yingling and graduate student Andrew Denys. The pair, alongside a group of 91短视频 media arts and kinesiology students, together with area high schoolers, is using 3D technology to replace bones missing from a skeleton formerly used by the kinesiology department. Together the students are all learning how to use the 3D technology and the Cal State East Bay students are mentoring and teaching the high schoolers about everything from anatomy to life in college. Once finished, the skeleton will be gifted to Tennyson High school.

Both of these partnerships support the community and are helping us build a pipeline to college. I encourage you to read more about them in this issue of East Bay Today and thank you for the work you do in creating opportunities for the students of the region to see this university as an option, not just a dream. Whether you are working with one of these programs or one of the many others that similarly impact our community, we all play a role in increasing access to higher education.
