On November 20th, as part of the 11th grade student mentoring program, 65 DATA juniors took a half-day field trip to the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus.
Steve McAdams of CSUSB, and participating mentor, organized a trip that included a campus tour, admissions workshop, student and alumni speakers, and a presentation from Graphic Design and Marketing instructor, Dennis Johnson (a subject or high interest to a large number of DATA students).
For many DATA students, this was their first exposure to CSUSB Palm Desert, and it quickly became obvious that the Palm Desert Campus will play a major role for DATA students who aspire to attend college.
