CSUMB President Eduardo Ochoa is in our nation's capital to take part on the White House College Opportunity Day of Action, an initiative of President Barack Obama to support students across the country to increase college attainment.
And he's tweeting! Follow him here.
During White House College Opportunity Day of Action, participants were asked to commit to new
action in one of four areas: building networks of colleges around
promoting completion, creating K-16 partnerships around college
readiness, investing in high school counselors as part of the First
Lady’s Reach Higher initiative, and increasing the number of college
graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics.
A spokesperson for CSUMB said the university's commitment to increasing the number of
graduates in STEM fields involves its CSIT-in-3 program with Hartnell
College, which allows students to earn a computer science degree
in three years through year-round study.
Ochoa served as assistant secretary for higher
education in the Obama Administration before coming to CSUMB as
president in 2012. He was invited to the event by Cecilia Munoz, President
Obama’s domestic policy adviser, and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
