SHASTA COLLEGE Big band concert set for Wednesday CHICO California State University, Chico received word Sept. 27 that it had received a five-year, $4.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Edu- cation that will support students pursuing stud- ies in the Colleges of Agri- culture, Natural Sciences, and Engineering, Com- puter Science and Con- struction Management. CSU, Chico was able to apply for the funding due to becoming eligible for federal Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) grants in December 2015, approx- imately one year after the University's Hispanic stu- dent enrollment surpassed 25 percent of the total stu- dent body. The U.S. Department of Education's program is called Hispanic-Serv- ing Institutions — Sci- ence, Technology, Engi- neering, or Mathematics, or HSI STEM. Its purpose, according to the educa- tion department, is "to in- crease the number of His- panic and other low-in- come students attaining degrees in the fields of science, technology, engi- neering or mathematics." "This grant is a game- changer," said Paul Vil- legas, director of CSU, Chico's Mathematics En- gineering Science Achieve- ment (MESA) Engineering Program. "It's a significant amount of resources for the STEM community to assist our students with challenging disciplines. It will have a major impact on our students." Villegas, who helped lead the application pro- cess, said the implemen- tation of the grant will mirror how CSU, Chico's MESA Engineering Pro- gram operates. Services to students provided by the grant will include ac- ademic support, such as supplemental instruction, tutoring and academic advising; peer mentor- ing and coaching; tools to help students develop col- lege and personal finan- cial plans; undergradu- ate research experiences including faculty mentor- ing; and support for com- munity college transfers. "With the CSU's mis- sion of access to higher education, the HSI STEM grant will increase the opportunity for Hispanic students to enroll and be successful in earning bachelor's degrees in ag- ricultural sciences, engi- neering and natural sci- ences," said Ricardo Jac- quez, dean of the College of Engineering, Computer Science and Construction Management (ECC). "The award of this grant to Chico State is very timely," Jacquez said, noting that enrollments over the past four years in the three colleges have "skyrocketed." The College of Agriculture reported an enrollment increase of 60 percent during that pe- riod, while Natural Sci- ences saw a 35 percent in- crease and ECC experi- enced a 33 percent rise. "Chico State has emerged as one of the fast- est growing STEM univer- sities in Northern Califor- nia," Jacquez said.
