The Valera NEST was carefully designed to normalize services and eliminate stigma by providing resources and support to students through an integrated and inclusive strengths-based approach.

In a celebration and framing of a new era at CSUN, faculty, students, alumni and campus leaders kicked off the university’s historic new designation as a Black-Serving Institution.

 The screening will be held in the Elaine and Alan Armer Screening Room, a room Armer gifted the CTVA department, in which he taught during the last years of his life.

Ten outstanding physical therapy students in CSUN’s College of Health and Human Development were honored with scholarships from the Roy and Roxie Campanella Foundation and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation.

The two stations have partnered since 2017, simulcasting The SoCal Sound to listeners who tune into 88.5-FM in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. 

The Valera NEST is a resource center in the CSU system that provides basic needs services such as food, clothing and wellness to students.
