MARC U-STAR students receive research support, mentoring, and a stipend for travel to scientific conferences where they present their research. MBRS RISE is a federal program in which students are mentored and encouraged to go on to complete Ph.D. programs in the field. Associate Dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Cal State Fullerton, Mark Filowitz, Ph.D., said that CSUN is not the only school in the CSU system that does a great job of bringing in contracts to help fund research. “Northridge does a nice job in research, but so do we,” Filowitz said. The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has about $8 or $9 million in grants that are active per year. The bulk of these funds, Filowitz said, is allotted to the students and research programs. Currently, CSUF has various research programs to help train students through hands-on learning related to the science field they choose. Among these are the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Bridges to Stem Cell Research Program and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Scholars program. “We’ve always been very strong in this college in getting grants because we’re very strong in the research activities that we do,” Filowitz said. Earlier this year, CSUF’s Biology Department was awarded $1.28 million from the CIRM. This grant has provided internship opportunities in Orange County for ten undergraduate students studying stem cells. Biology graduate student John Dumont said that when students have access to money, it makes research and learning much easier. Dumont said that if more students were to focus their research on things that will result in something useful in the future, such as a new medicine in health research, grants would be easier to obtain. “A lot of times, you can’t do research without grants. You need the money to do what you have to do,” Dumont said. “It’s all about how practical your research is.”

But the mistake was, sadly, the very common assumption that its audience did not already include several dedicated gamer women. Perhaps that is not even what the assumption was. However, the suggestion that gamers “lack a better term” for such things—one that doesn’t alienate an entire sex—is something that needs examining. Instead of condemning one company or one person for using a known concept, one should instead look at the ways we can attack the root of this problem. While gaming culture is only a small microcosm of our society at large, any change in the way we think about the relationship between men and women is a move toward progress. And truly, what easier place to start re-examining gender roles than from the comfort of one’s own couch, basking in the glow of a television.

Women’s volleyball Head Coach Carolyn Zimmerman uses the gymnasium extensively for volleyball practice and she has noticed a change in the gymnasium since the retrofitting took place. “One of the significant things you notice when you come in the gym is that you no longer hear the humming that you used to hear,” she said. “It’s not so blinding and they’re more consistent I think as we go on in the future we’ll understand more of their capabilities. I know you can turn certain ones off; you can turn off certain sections. Certainly very efficient when we walk out, they turn off.” Elle Moffatt, 18, child and adolescent development major and Titan volleyball player, uses the gymnasium for volleyball and has also noticed a distinct difference between the old lighting controls and new advanced ones. The LED lights, which are less harsh to look at, also help the athletes vision stay focused during practice and matches. “I know they turn off automatically, so when we’re not in here they’re not on,” Moffatt said. “When the ball is up in the air, or you’re looking to see a ball, it’s easier to find and you don’t lose it.” In an effort to keep the campus maintaining environmentally friendly procedures, van der Pol also plans on retrofitting all outdated light fixtures on campus with the next major target being Nutwood Parking Structure.
