April 3, 2022: STEMposium

Inside a tent stretched over the lawn were more tables, including one with information on CSUB's new public health program. Professors Dr. Andrea Lopez and Dr. Linh Bui were there with their student volunteer Jessica Jaime.

“It's very exciting to be back out in the community,” Dr. Lopez said. “Being able to see people of all ages is really fun.”

The public health team was kept busy with curious students all day, many of them interested in a career in health care. Jaime, a junior, graduated from BC with her associate degree in public health and has since transferred to CSUB to earn her bachelor's degree.

“I did a lot of volunteering for public health at BC, and I felt like it was important to do that here too,” she said. “It gives you experience talking to the community.”
