Major grant establishes teacher mentoring program

A five-year, $8.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education will launch the Los Angeles Urban Teacher Residency Program at Cal State L.A. in 2010. Through a 15-month graduate-level program, an initial cohort of 25Charter College of Education students will become resident-teachers at middle and high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), working with outstanding mentors.

While in the program, the resident-teachers will receive a $21,000 annual stipend. They will be assisting the effort to provide high-quality teachers in high-need public schools to teach math, science and special education. Upon completion of the program, participants will earn both a teaching credential and a master’s degree, and will be encouraged to teach for at least three years in the LAUSD.

Foundation gift boosts nursing master’s program, creates scholarship

Nursing faculty Mary Shinnick explains the functions of the nursing simulation lab to Masons Grand Master Larry Adamson ’74. Adamson visited the campus to present the University with a $100,000 check in support of student scholarships from the California Masonic Foundation.

Thanks to a $100,000 gift from the California Masonic Foundation to the University's School of Nursing, two Cal State L.A. graduate nursing students have been given the opportunity to pursue degrees in nursing leadership and administration. Nursing master's degree students Luis Avitia and Virginia Castaneda were awarded the inaugural Claire V. Cunningham Masonic Scholarship Supporting Leadership in Nursing.

The scholarship, established in 2008, is part of an ongoing effort by the California Masonic Foundation to support leadership development and excellence in nursing.

California Masonic Foundation President Doug Ismail said, “The California Masonic Foundation recognizes the importance of health care to our society, as well as the significance of nurses and all health care professionals in our lives. By supporting these future nurse leaders, we hope to play a small part in creating a healthier and safer world.”

I’m a Member! Join Me!

My name is Sean Moore ’00 and I’m a proud graduate of Cal State L.A. As a result of the education and experience that I acquired while attending CSULA, I am now a successful graphic designer at The Walt Disney Company and a volunteer with the Alumni Association.

Although my road to success began in the halls of the University’s Department of Art, my relationship with the Association has enhanced my connection with our University. I joined the Association soon after graduation because I wanted to meet people, and learn skills that would help me compete in this ever-changing economic landscape. Supporting the Association through my membership is also a way for me to “give back” to a University that gave me so much.

The Alumni Association’s committed staff and volunteers have established innovative programs and benefits that have helped me to achieve my professional and personal goals. I can attest to the value of networking with fellow alumni at exclusive Networking Nights, Career Development Workshops and even through the Association’sFacebook and LinkedIn online groups. Members also receive exclusive discounts for products at Office Deport, Dell, and Kaplan. As a member, I also have access to theCareer Development Center on campus.

I currently serve as the representative for the Entertainment and the Arts Alumni Network. Alumni Networks sponsor programs targeted towards specific professional industries. Members of the Alumni Association can join any one of our Alumni Networks in the areas of Business, Education, Nursing, Engineering, and Entertainment/Arts to connect with alumni in similar professions.

The Alumni Mentoring Program offers you unparalleled opportunities to meet CSULA alumni and students. In my capacity as a mentor, I have helped students and alumni, providing career-related advice that bridges the gap between the academic environment and the professional world. As a member of the Association you can register as a mentor or mentee.

If you are not yet a member of the Association, this is your chance to connect with fellow alumni, potential employers and the University. To join, visithttp://alumni.calstatela.edu today!

Sincerely,

Sean Moore ’00
Representative, CSULA Entertainment and the Arts Alumni Network

Mentors, mentees connect in successful meet-up

On Feb. 3, the CSULA Alumni Association hosted a successful mentoring event, “Building a Strong Mentor-Mentee Relationship.”

The room buzzed with energy and excitement throughout the evening, as a vibrant and diverse panel of experts provided information on how to build and develop a thriving mentor-mentee relationship, and attendees networked with their peers. The panelists consisted of alumnus Jorge Ramirez ’04 and his mentee Fortino Arroyo ’11; alumnus Barry Gordon ’86 and his mentee Ben Caron ’10; alumna Sharon Grigsby ’71 and her mentee Taguhi Sogomonyan ’07 ’09; alumnus Peter Diaz ’97 and his mentee Karina Ajanel ’09; and alumnus Al Topalian ’67 ’87 and his mentee Valerie Ventura ’06.

Panel members shared their tips for clarifying mentor-mentee roles, listing mentor-mentee responsibilities, breaking the ice, developing mentor-mentee expectations, and establishing regular communications and follow-up. Engaged audience members asked questions and spent time networking with all the mentors and mentees in the room after the discussion.

For more information on the Mentoring Program, visithttp://alumni.calstatela.edu/mentoringprogram/index.htm.

The next Alumni Mentoring event, “Speed Mentoring” will be held Wednesday, May 12, at 6 p.m. in the University-Student Union, Los Angeles Room.

Alumnus helps to bring 'revolutionary' drugs, technology to world markets

Jeff Silverman ’77

Jeff Silverman ’77 is an unassuming leader. More patient educator than commanding pharmaceutical executive. More gentle family man than holder of a black belt in karate.

But, as his family and professional peers point out, Silverman is, in fact, a bit of all these things. And his ability to remain genuine and humble while working to bring the world one of the industry’s most revolutionary drug delivery systems and treatments for cancer is an integral part of his success.

“He is a multitalented guy and anything he takes on, he really gets into and does well at,” said Silverman’s father, Cal State L.A. Emeritus Professor (Art) Ron Silverman ’55. “Now, he is involved in important pharmaceutical work, and at a really high level.”

Silverman is the senior vice president for manufacturing operations and product development at Abraxis BioScience, a global biotechnology company based in West Los Angeles. The company has received international recognition in recent years for its breakthrough development of the chemotherapy agent Abraxane TM and the technology to deliver difficult to solubilize drugs in an innovative solvent-free system. (Abraxane is licensed internationally for use in stage 2 metastatic breast cancer, and is in various stages of clinical investigation for the treatment of non-small cell lung, advanced prostate, melanoma, pancreatic, and ovarian cancers.)

In his role with Abraxis, Silverman is responsible for overseeing the company’s manufacturing and late-stage development operations throughout the United States. He also strategizes to bring products that the company’s research team designs to market.

“It’s the most cutting-edge work that I have done in my career,” Silverman said. “In this endeavor we are not only working on a drug, but a delivery system for a wide-range of drugs, and that can have a staggering impact.”

This is not Silverman’s first revolutionary project. In previous positions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, Silverman worked with teams to create technologies for blood products, and made headway in the creation of a cancer vaccine and inhalable insulin. Working in these fields, he said, has made for a “gratifying” career.

Jeff Silverman ’77 poses with his son, Noah Silverman, and his father, Emeritus Professor(Art) Ron Silverman ’55 along the coast. The family has quite the connection to CSULA, counting Jeff, Ron, Jeff’s wife, Amelia Perez-Silverman ’76, and their future son-in-law as alumni.

“I don’t lose sight of the fact that I go to work every day to improve peoples’ lives,” Silverman said.

On many levels, Silverman said, his success and happiness today can be traced back to his days at Cal State L.A. The University, to which he transferred from UCLA as an upperclassman, provided him with his first job in the lab, one-on-one time with professors, great academic mentors, and the opportunity to meet his wife, Amelia Perez-Silverman ’76 (in chemistry club, no less.)

Silverman’s dad, Ron Silverman, who taught at the University from 1955 to 1988, developed the Charter College of Education’s art education course, which helped shift thinking on the role art should play in the classroom. Ron Silverman says that he never persuaded his son to come to Cal State L.A., but was pleased he made the decision to do so in the end because it was obviously a “good fit” for him.

“Cal State L.A. did really well by me,” he said. “It afforded me the experience of working with excellent professors at the undergraduate level, which was really important to my learning…And I got a fabulous wife and a fabulous career out of it.”

From a young age, Silverman was gifted in math and science, Ron Silverman recalled. He wasn’t, however, a great communicator and did not gravitate to leadership roles, despite serving as the class president in grade school.

Silverman said that changed for him, though, in his first jobs after graduating from Cal State L.A.: first as a researcher at City of Hope and then at the pharmaceutical production company Alpha Therapeutics (now Grifols Biologicals, Inc.), which sits just across from the University on Valley Boulevard. Silverman also went on to get his MBA from the Druker School of Management at Claremont University.

“I have found that the emphasis on management can have a profound effect on a company,” Silverman said. “I still love the science—or what we traditionally think of as science (chemistry, biology, physics, etc.)—but the social science and management science just happen to be something I never thought of as a child. No child does.”

In 2009, the NCAA Division II soccer world cast its eyes on the campus of Cal State L.A., where the men’s andwomen’s programs thrilled its followers with historic campaigns.

The men’s team attained its first-ever No. 1 national ranking. The women’s team won its first California Collegiate Athletic Association championship. And both teams had the rare opportunity to host NCAA playoff games. To say the least, it was a sensational year.

Chris Chamides, who just completed his seventh season as the head coach for both programs, has lifted the men’s and women’s soccer programs onto the national landscape. Cal State L.A. was the only school in the nation to host NCAA Division II playoff games in both men’s and women’s soccer in 2009. The Golden Eagles earned that right after being ranked No. 1 in the West Region on both the men’s and women’s sides.

In front of enthusiastic crowds at Jesse Owens Track over a three-day period in November, Cal State L.A.’s men’s team knocked off Cal State San Bernardino in a thrilling 5-3 victory in a semi-final match before falling to Cal State Dominguez Hills in the regional final, 1-0, while the Golden Eagles women dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 decision to Cal State Dominguez Hills in a West Region semi-final.

Both teams earned national Top-10 rankings at the end of the regular season with the women checking in at a program-best No. 6 and the men notching a No. 7 ranking. Following the playoffs, Cal State L.A. was ranked No. 12 in the final men’s rankings, while the women were No. 14.

“We are really proud to have placed our men’s and women’s soccer teams among the elite programs in the country,” Chamides said. “Their high national rankings are a testament to the hard work our student-athletes put into their preparation throughout the year. Our programs are proud to represent this University and shine a positive light to our campus.”

Along the way, several records were set by both programs.

• The men’s program, thanks to a 10-0-1 start that included a win and a tie against defending national champion Cal State Dominguez Hills, achieved its first-ever No. 1 national ranking on Oct. 6. Cal State L.A. went on to capture theCCAA South Division title for the second time in four years with a conference-best 13-2-1 record.

• The Golden Eagles not only earned the top-seed for the four-team CCAA Championship Tournament, but they also maintained the No. 1 ranking in the West Region, which enabled them to host the four-team NCAA West Regional.

• Cal State L.A. had four All-Americans—Federico Cino, Mickey Daly, Miguel Cucue and Aza Gomez—which were more than any other program this season and set a new single-season CSULA mark. The Golden Eagles were 18-4-1 overall and now have 55 wins over the past four seasons, which is the best four-year stretch since 1981-1984.

• The women’s program, meanwhile, entered completely uncharted waters. Before Chamides’ arrival, the Golden Eagles women’s team hadn’t had a winning season since the program started in 1995. Cal State L.A. now has four winning seasons in the past five years.

• Cal State L.A. had a 17-3-2 record in 2009 and set new program records for wins and goals scored (53). The Golden Eagles also captured their first CCAA championship, first winning the South Division with a 12-2-2 record and then beating Chico State (1-0) and Cal State Dominguez Hills (4-0) in the conference championship tournament.

• Junior forward Liz Franco and senior midfielder Amanda Matthews became the first women’s soccer players to earn All-America honors. Franco also became the first to be named the West Region Player of the Year. She was also named the CCAA Offensive Player of the Year, while Matthews was the CCAA Defensive Player of the Year. Both were firsts for a Cal State L.A. women’s soccer player.

• Chamides was named the CCAA Coach of the Year for men’s and women’s soccer.

• Two soccer players, Cino of the men’s team and defender Reauna Wong of the women’s team, earned CoSIDA Academic All-District VIII honors this past season for combining academic and athletic excellence.
