The individual California State Colleges were brought together by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960, and in 1972 the California State University system was formed. The CSU offers more than 1,800 bachelor's and master's degree programs in some 357 subject areas. With almost 437,000 students, who were taught by some 44,000 faculty, the system awards about half of the bachelor's degrees and a third of the master's degrees granted in California. Since 1961, the CSU has awarded nearly 2.6 million bachelor's, master's and joint doctoral degrees. Cal Poly Pomona opened September 15, 1938 with an all-male enrollment of 110 students as the Voorhis Unit of California State Polytechnic College in San Luis Obispo. It was located on the 150- acre San Dimas site of the former Voorhis School for Boys. Breakfast cereal magnate W.K. Kellogg deeded 813 acres of land located three miles south of the Voorhis campus to the state of California in 1949. In 1956, 508 students and 44 faculty and staff moved from San Dimas to the Kellogg campus. In a first for the all-male campus, 329 women joined the student body in 1961. The Pomona campus separated from the San Luis Obispo campus in 1966 and became California State Polytechnic College, Kellogg Campus. University status was granted in 1972. Today, the campus covers 1,438 acres and is the second largest in area among the California State University’s 23 campuses. 3,000 faculty and staff support the education of 21,000 students. Cal Poly Pomona is nestled in 1,438 rolling acres on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. As one of only two polytechnic universities in the state, Cal Poly Pomona is known for its learn-by- doing philosophy. The University recognizes that students who solve classroom problems today have an advantage as employees solving real-world problems tomorrow. Ranked among the top public universities in the western United States, Cal Poly Pomona provides a rich academic experience that encourages hands-on learning in every program, course, and activity on campus. Eight academic Colleges offer more than 100 degree programs, including undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, credential and certificate programs. There are around 22,000 students that attend Cal Poly Pomona, 20,000 undergraduate and 1,700 graduate students. The University employs 1,208 faculty and 1,410 staff members. Cal Poly Pomona benefits from a richly diverse community reflective of the greater Los Angeles area. The student body is roughly one-third Latino, one-quarter Asian and 3 percent black. The University also has a healthy percentage of out-of-state and international students. U.S News noted Cal Poly Pomona was eighth most diverse among regional universities in the West and tenth most diverse in the nation. As a part of the California State University system, the University is state supported and offers competitive tuition fees that are well below that of other universities in the United States. The in-state registration, tuition and fees for a full-time undergraduate student is $2,125 per quarter and $2,547 per quarter for graduate students. Non-California residents pay an additional $246 per unit. The University has a polytechnic emphasis in the application of science, technology and the arts to the needs of the professions and society. By linking the theoretical and the practical in all areas of study, the University aims to generate the understanding, attitudes and perspectives that will enable students and graduates to solve complex problems and enrich local and world communities. Cal Poly Pomona is dedicated to preparing students for life, leadership, and careers in a changing, multicultural world. Through its programs and services, the University promotes academic excellence, educational equity, diversity in the campus community, and an understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Ethnic minority groups make up 68% of the student body, 58% of staff personnel and 37% of faculty. 4 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Department of Architecture Architecture Program Report Submitted: Sept. 7, 2013 I.1.1b History of the Architecture program, its mission, and its founding principles The Department of Architecture is part of the College of Environmental Design. In addition to Architecture the College offers a graduate degree in Regenerative Studies; undergraduate and graduate degrees in Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning; and undergraduate degrees in Art and Graphic Design. The College is dedicated to the pursuit of the design professions as a human imperative. Its programs are distinguished by a strong interdisciplinary course of instruction combined with a hands-on approach to the educational process. Excellence in design, enhanced by social and environmental concerns, is the basis of the curriculum as well as the measure of the faculty and programs. The College remains committed to the “learn by doing” polytechnic approach to education, which links theory to practice. Consequently, ENV graduates are recognized by business and industry for their superior preparation to enter the workforce. The history of the Architecture Department begins in 1965 when discussions were initiated by the Department of Landscape Architecture to provide a separate Department for those persons seeking an architectural education. At that time approximately 1,400 students were enrolled in architectural courses at the adjacent five community Colleges. During the Fall Quarter 1966, the first courses in architecture were offered within Landscape Architecture, which was then part of the School of Agriculture. In 1968 a major study headed by Dean Lawrence Anderson from M.I.T. was commissioned by the College to consider the appropriateness of starting an architecture program at Cal Poly Pomona. A year later, in 1969, Architecture became a program option within the Department of Environmental

    Ken and Diana Tittle — UFW Volunteers 1971-73

    Ken and Diana Tittle — UFW Volunteers 1971-73 Diana and I had gone from Boston to northern New Mexico and southern Colorado the summer of 1970 on a United Presbyterian health education-based community organizing project called the Health Fair project (something that a classmate of mine, Jon Kay, and I had first developed for the Presbyterians in the Southeast in 1966). We worked some with Presbyterian Medical Services down there (PMS, not initials one would choose these days), and were considering returning to northwestern New Mexico the next year. My idea, though, was to offer myself as an organizing focus. I would say to the people in that doctor- deprived area, “Clearly, one doctor cannot meet your medical needs, and I am not going to try, but I am willing to negotiate with a community group to give you a defined amount of physician services — a contract — and you would have to decide how you wanted to use those services and then how you would address the rest of the medical needs.” I was not interested in going there as a solo doctor just to burn out in a year or two, and I was committed to the idea that “community competence” to address their needs was actually more important to the community’s health than whatever a doctor might do, so in principle, the whole thing seemed to make a lot of sense. But in practice, I had never heard of anyone ever doing or even proposing such a thing before, so it was a little daunting. (“Community competence” was, in fact, a concept and term I myself had invented to sell the Health Fair idea to the Presbyterians, something drawing on my Friends Service Committee experiences.) In the meantime, we returned to Boston for another year, where I had a position as a special fellow in ambulatory medicine (and later an instructorship in internal medicine) with the Harvard Teaching Hospitals.

Places that embody the architectural, cultural and deep historical roots of the Latino community within the shared national identity. In an effort to provide insight into the vast amount of sites that deserve protection and merit official recognition, the Latino Heritage Scholars have developed a top ten list of historic sites associated with Latino heritage worthy of consideration. These sites are organized chronologically: #1: Pueblo of Tortugas Located in southern New Mexico, Tortugas Pueblo is representative of mestizo identity. It is full of history and culture with traditions that represent the blending of indigenous Native American and Hispanic cultures unique to the area. #2: The Trujillo Adobe Built in 1863, the Trujillo Adobe is one of the last remnants of the original settlements of Riverside, California.

    THE STORY OF GUADALUPE, ARIZONA: THE SURVIVAL AND PRESERVATION OF A YAQUI COMMUNITY by Leah S. Glaser A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 1996 ABSTRACT Guadalupe’s formation and persistence in the Phoenix area is a long overlooked topic of local history. Despite heavy residential, commercial, and industrial development, the once remote farm labor community has remained impervious to urban expansion. Residents have managed to preserve a degree of cultural and geographic separatism while participating in the economic and political structure of Phoenix’s dominant Anglo society. When late nineteenth century land reform policies of Mexican dictator Porfirio Diaz forced Yaquis from their homeland in Sonora, Mexico and threatened to kill them, Yaqui Indians fled to Arizona. Anglos there were sympathetic to their plight as refugees and Yaquis were able to find a niche in the Salt River Valley’s agricultural economy. Catholic and Presbyterian missionaries also supported the community and helped secure land for a legal townsite. But as immigrants and squatters, the political status of both Yaquis and Guadalupe was legally ambiguous. Meanwhile, many corporations set up labor camps, or “company towns,” the Salt River Valley Water Users’ Association established an exclusively Yaqui village that provided stability for the community’s sustenance and persistence. These factors combined with self identity, determination, and community consciousness to place the Yaqui community in a promising position for sustenance and longevity. By the 1960s, Guadalupe was no longer just a Yaqui community, but a Mexican-American as well. Whether by choice or by proximity, they joined Mexican-Americans in their fight for political voice and economic improvements.

    Starting a Free School of Architecture Tessa Forde Free School of Architecture

    Charrette Starting a Free School of Architecture Tessa Forde Free School of Architecture ABSTRACT The Free School of Architecture was established in Los Angeles, California in 2016, seeking to question the edges of architectural education. This essay recounts and reflects on the events that led to the student body taking over the school while it was still in session. The Free School of Architecture was redesigned and ran again in 2018 as an alternative model of education, collaboration and architectural practice. KEYWORDS architectural education, tuition-free education, experimental, radical education 121 |Charrette 6(1) Spring 2020 Foundings, fetishisms, frustrations, revolt The Free School of Architecture was founded toward the end of 2016 as a resistance to institutionalised pedagogy, the exorbitant price of education in the United States (with the average out-of-state annual tuition of a four year architectural degree at close to $50,000) and the increasingly prescriptive nature of architectural design studios. Its founder, Peter Zellner, having penned a passionate letter to The Architects’ Newspaper, lamenting the downfall of the architecture school into ‘various forms of academic cult worship: Digital traditionalisms, faux-art fetishisms, silly mannerist dead-ends, philosopher-shaman worship, and other neoconservative returns’, posited that an architectural education should allow for a slow, fumbling exploration of personal practice, and set up the parameters of an environment where architecture might happen.1 This letter was not just a complaint, but a call for action; an invitation to architects to do something about it. Zellner’s version of ‘doing something about it’, was to establish a tuition- and salary free, non-degree-granting, non-accredited six week architecture school to be hosted in Los Angeles in the summer of 2017.

The rapid membership growth of the club and its involvement in environmental issues on a national scale left neither time nor resources to document the club's internal and external history. Club records were stored in a number of locations and were inaccessible for research. Further, we were failing to take advantage of the relatively new technique of oral history by which the reminiscences of club leaders and members of long standing could be preserved. The ad hoc committee's recommendation that a standing History Committee be established was approved by the Sierra Club Board of Directors in May 1970. That September the board designated The Bancroft Library of the University of California at Berkeley as the official depository of the club's archives.
