Welcome to California State University, Bakersfield at Antelope Valley; a place that is YOUR UNIVERSITY. I am honored and delighted to serve as the interim Associate Vice President for this CSUB campus, which includes two sites (Antelope Valley College and Lancaster University Center). As a graduate of the Psychology program at CSUB (B.A., 1987), the Outstanding Student of Arts and Sciences at CSUB (1987), a member of the CSUB Alumni Association, and a CSUB Faculty member in Psychology for the past 17 years (1993 2010), I take my position as director of the Antelope Valley campus very seriously. My goal each day is to make CSUB-AV the best branch campus in the system; one at which the degree you earn will have the same value with the one I received.
You should also note that although I have only been in my current position at CSUB-AV since Jan 19, 2010, I have been involved in the offering of coursework at CSUB-AV since 1997. This has involved the specific Psychology courses offered, the Psychology Faculty who have taught at CSUB-AV, as well as helping to decide the programs that would be offered. Again, know that I take this work very seriously and I am currently working to increase the majors offered here-as well as the number of graduate degrees. I see the growth of our campus as akin to the development of CSUB, which was originally a branch campus of CSU, Fresno, and more recently the development of CSU, Channel Islands, which was a branch campus of CSUN.
CSUB-AV is here for you now! CSUB-AV will be here for you in the future! CSUB AV is Your University! Take a chance that will make changes to your life while advancing your education through CSUB-AV. We offer advisors to help with the choice of your major and courses. There are tutoring services, computer labs, library services, and health services all within easy reach of the enrolled students. We offer high quality teaching by faculty whose major interest is your success. We offer high quality programs that will make your future brighter, both intellectually and financially. We are your answer to HIGHER EDUCATION in the Antelope Valley, with over 9 undergraduate degree programs and 11 post-baccalaureate options.
CSUB-AV is YOUR UNIVERSITY and I wish to Welcome you to the future ranks of my alma mater.
Sincerely,
Jess F. Deegan II
