Young Scientists Camp received a generous grant from the LBCF Community Impact fund to support the SEE US Succeed!, a summer camp experience designed to support underserved youth.

Sam’s research focuses on the design of learning environments (i.e., professional learning, curriculum, etc.) where educators position racialized bi/multilingual students’ multiple ways of communication as a part of rather than apart from science learning. Specifically, they are curious about the ways in which language can be used to expand how we "figure…

The 2024-2025 ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ academic year is now well underway! We are excited to welcome a new faculty member, Dr. Sam Lee, who joins us as we continue to (re)grow our department, after the recent retirements of long-serving faculty Dr. Laura Henriques and Dr. Alan Colburn. As a campus, we continue to struggle with how best to support students in a post-pandemic…

More than 2,700 people visited Cal State Long Beach on July 20 for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics annual open house. The community event showcased the college's research and achievements while engaging children in educational activities.

The Department celebrates the return of opportunities to 'practice' teaching science in our local community. We are grateful to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Long Beach and Kettering Elementary School for welcoming ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students into their learning spaces, and giving our future elementary teachers a chance to see how kids engage with science first-hand.

The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics is proud of each and every one of our graduating students. Here a list of commencement awards given to our students from the graduating class of 2024.

The Science Learning Center joined hundreds of other community organizations and industry partners from across southern ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñto celebrate science, technology, engineering and math at the Los Angeles Maker Faire and City of STEM on Saturday April 6, 2024.
