Dean’s Message
As you read this, you are probably moving from a slower pace suited for summer into that faster pace that gets an academic year started. I sincerely hope that your summer was filled with many good things---a time for enjoyment, opportunities to refresh yourself, and memories made with family and friends. I also hope you are looking forward to this academic year and the opportunities to grow personally and professionally through connecting with and working with others in the CCOE, across campus, and out in our local communities where fieldwork and service happen. This fall, the college takes an important step to posthumously honor a distinguished alumni and history maker, Mr. Sal Castro. After receiving his training as an educator, in the early 60s, in the College of Education at LA State College (which today is the CCOE at Cal State LA), he found himself teaching in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). In 1968, he, along with the youth leaders with whom he worked, led walkouts from five area high schools by Latinx students and supporters (about 25,000 strong) to call attention to the discrimination and poor schooling they were experiencing. This changed the course of history. One result, more and more Latinx students went to college in that period, a legacy which continues to this day. Your success is important to us! We are here to prepare you to you to think, to learn, to teach, to lead, and to respond to the needs of your communities and schools! Please let us know how we can assist in your goals and studies as you prepare to meet the needs of the children, youth, and families of Los Angeles!
I hope you have a richly rewarding semester!
