The department will be hosting the Summer University @ The Beach. This is the program in which 40 CECS students have participated in the last four summers. We are hosting the program this year and thus we will have a lot of activity in the month of July as there will be at least 20 Swiss students and 10 students from San Jose State University, plus faculty, all participating in the program.
CSULB students (undergraduate and graduate) are strongly encouraged to participate. This is a great and unique opportunity to be part of a program along side students from other universities. One of the exciting parts of the program is the involvement by local companies who will also be recruiting students. Students can apply by submitting the information requested in the application to the Summer University @ The Beach. Applications are due as early as possible but no later than April 1st.
The program is open to CSULB students as well as to students from universities in the nearby area. If you have any questions, please visit the website and contact Dr. Alvaro Monge via e-mail.
Dr. Monge welcomes two guest speakers and professors from the Human Factors program in the Psychology department. They will both be addressing human factors in the design of web sites.
New CSULB transfer students are reminded that they have a mandatory advising hold on their Fall 2011 registration. The hold will be removed once you meet with your undergraduate advisor. Please do this as soon as possible so that you can register in Fall classes without any delays.
