  • External Funding Supports Programs and Research

    Faculty and staff members have recently received external funding for programs and research projects ranging from stem cell training to research in 3D imaging. Pictured is Joshua Smith, assistant professor of physics, who received funding supporting his research into gravitational-wave astronomy.

  • An Outstanding Lecture

    Outstanding Professor Martin V. Bonsangue delivered "America's Math Story" during his well-attended lecture, at which he emphasized that being bad at math is no longer an option for the United States.

  • Monitoring Air Bubbles in Plants

    Biologist H. Jochen Schenk and a team of students are delving into the hydraulic system of plants in an effort to discover how air bubbles form and disrupt water distribution from roots to leaves. Plants that develop air bubbles in their hydraulic system don't get enough water; severe cases can lead to the death of roots, branches or the whole plant.

  • On the Hunt for Tsunamis

    Have large, devastating tsunamis hit the Southern California coast? Geologists Matthew E. Kirby and Brady P. Rhodes are seeking evidence in sediment to determine if California has been struck by large sea waves produced by sudden movement of the sea floor during an earthquake, volcanic eruption or a submarine landslide.

  • Key to STEM Success

    Student leaders in the Supplemental Instruction Program — like math major Jenny Chang, pictured — are serving as role models and leading group sessions in an effort to help their peers succeed in their efforts towards earning college degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

• The College has developed a five-year strategic plan that has led the development of a set of strategic priorities for the coming academic year. These priorities are the first steps in achieving the goals of the strategic plan by the end of AY 2015/16. View the plans at the above links. •

John D. Cooper Center
Over the past 35 years, the Orange County has collected artifacts, specimens and associated documentation from archaeological and paleontological investigations, and has partnered with Cal State Fullerton to manage, curate, preserve, and provide opportunities for exhibition of these artifacts. The collection sheds light on the rich history of Orange County, including evidence of a sophisticated people who occupied western North America as early as 13,000 years ago, and animal life from the most distant past.
