The past still haunts Rwanda, the “land of a thousand hills.” Last
summer, the ghosts of one million Tutsis and moderate Hutus brushed
against CSULB'S Nancy Strow Sheley when she visited that nation
in central Africa 10 years after the genocide of 1994.
Sheley, who holds a joint position in English and Liberal Studies, was selected to receive a Fulbright-Hays Travel Award and joined 12 other educators for a five-week research seminar in Rwanda, from July through August.
Internationally acclaimed filmmaker George Lucas has donated $100,000 to the Department of Film and Electronic Arts at California State University, Long Beach to support the restoration and repair of equipment that was damaged during recent storms. The announcement was made at the university's annual Director's Guild of America showcase of its students' films in Hollywood.
Chicano and Latino Studies marks its 35th anniversary at CSULB
in 2004 with speakers, events, and a growing awareness of the
role of Hispanics in 21st century America.
