The Mary Stuart
Rogers Gateway Building at CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus received added distinction
when the building’s architect was honored by his peers for the design of the
structure. The 37,000 square-foot building, which opened at the new campus in
spring of 2002, was recognized by the American Institute of Architects Inland
California Chapter for its “bold forms” and their relationship to “the dramatic
desert landscape.”
The
Rogers Gateway Building, the first of three in Phase I of the campus building
plan, was followed by the Indian Wells Center for Educational Excellence, which
opened for classes this quarter.

Governor's budget honors agreement with CSU
Honoring the higher education compact with the California State University
system, and affirming the connection between higher education and economic
growth, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed nearly $212 million in new
revenue for the CSU’s 2005/06 budget.
If approved, the Governor’s proposed budget will allow the system to serve
another 10,000 students in the coming year. Over the past three years, the
CSU has seen a net budget reduction of $522 million that has resulted in
enrollment reductions, cuts in student services, and an inability to make
progress on a growing faculty and staff salary gap.
