It was wonderful to look back at our 2011 Commencement held on Saturday, May 21, 2011. As an educator, this is not my first graduation. While each graduation I attended is unique in its own way, they all have some common threads, new beginnings, memories treasured, lessons learned, recognition of success. And this year, I was inspired by watching faculties, students, staff and families and loved ones of our graduates gathered in student hall to celebrate CSBU students who are graduating.
As the president, one of my big ‘challenges’ was to decide theme for graduation speech. Who am I to tell these wonderful students anything? Why should they listen to me? Many things came to my mind. But i realized, one thing that gathered us was mindset of the importance of education degree in tough times like today. I know they worked hard to achieve what they have achieved and with the knowledge and skills they had developed, I believe graduates can offer new fresh spirit to the community. As educator, it is my duty to continuously support them. They are not only my student, but they are part of CSBU family, big family. Ms. Stacey Peralta, professor at CSBU Biotechnology Department and also the speaker representing faculties wonderfully addressed the same issue.
I am also honored that during this time, CSBU received certificate of recognition from California State Legislature. It was great to be recognized for providing leadership in academic excellence and outstanding community service as well as benefitting all the people of the State of California.
All the experience even complete, when I received news that graduates get hired in different place and worked in the area of their interest.
I know, it is hard to capture all the moments, but I want to use this opportunity to share this wonderful experience with you. We have put together slides of pictures taken during the commencement to memorize this moment.

Once again City of Sunnyvale successfully held their annual Health & Safety Fair on April 30th. This year, more than 50 exhibitors attended event at Columbia Neighborhood Center from 11 am to 3 pm.
In the spirit of supporting the objectives of this event, California South Bay University participated as one of the exhibitors. CSBU take part by providing information related to preventive care methods. One of the examples was how to correctly measure and read body temperature.
In addition to this, as educational institute, CSBU also equipped with information about medical career that are available and in demand right now. Through this event, CSBU can contribute to the Sunnyvale communities by increasing their awareness of such information. What type of job opportunity, education background needed, and certification / license required for the position are among information that CSBU provided during this event. Philip, CSBU representative and also student of Medical Assistant program, shared his experience attending this event. “It is great to be able to talk to community and share my experience studying medical assistant. One of the visitors excitedly asked me about what medical assistant is and what kind of job that I will be doing, as she shared her dream of working at medical clinic to help other people.”
Summer 2011 orientation was successfully held on Tuesday, May 10th at CSBU campus location in Sunnyvale.
Dr. Wan, Director of Academic Affairs, welcomed the new students on that day. The orientation itself covered session about academic policies, detail information about the degree and requirement and also university regulations & resources. Both university members and new students were excited for the upcoming summer class to be started.
With the implementation of California Public Utilities Commission’s Photovoltaic Incentives, interest in Renewable Energy especially Photovoltaic System is at an all time high. According to California Energy Commission, there have been 76,984 solar projects in California with 779 Megawatts installed as in February 10, 2011.
Noticing this, California South Bay University held a discussion event on Green Energy with the help of our partner, St. Clara Adult Education. This free discussion gathered St. Clara Residents who are interested in the development and trends in the green energy industry. Some topics covered include (a) The importance of renewable energy, (b) Industry update & trends, companies’ growth in California specifically in the East Bay Corridor, (c) The impact of green energy movement on the development of green job market.
Nevertheless, during the discussion of the last topic, many questions arise from audiences. It is understandable since new development of new industry may lead to new job opportunities. Audiences were very interested in terms of what kind of Solar Power Career are in demand right now, what kind of education background needed, and also what kind of national certification available to verify their qualifications in the Professional Photovoltaic field. Every effort was made to ensure that any questions that audiences may have about photovoltaic industry are answered.
At the end of discussion, both school officials and audiences agreed that it was a very insightful discussion. School official mentioned that as an educational institute, it is CSBU’s mission to give back to community by providing knowledge that stimulates interest and involvement on the development of the current technology and industry. He also hoped that this can be a regular event, not only renewable energy, other field such as biotechnology is also currently in the fastest growing stage as an innovative science industry.
