CSUSM Honored at 'Devvies' Awards for Two Initiatives
Cal State San Marcos was honored last month for two university initiatives: the Scholars in Wellness and Innovation Fast Track Programs (SWIFT) and its Summer Opportunity Workshops.
CSUSM and other recipients were celebrated at “The Devvies,” a North County awards luncheon that recognizes outstanding contributions to the region’s economic development. The San Diego North Economic Development Council solicits nominations for the awards and curates the event, which was presented by San Diego Gas & Electric and sponsored by the San Diego Foundation, U.S. Bank and MAAC.
SWIFT offers an accelerated three-year bachelor’s program through the College of Education, Health and Human Services for students interested in preparing for mental and behavioral health professional opportunities. The program emphasizes dual enrollment, community collaboration and real-world experience. In addition to a degree, students will graduate with the requirements to obtain in-demand professional certification.
The Summer Opportunity Workshops were hosted by the College of Business Administration last June, introducing more than 100 local high school students to higher education and business leadership during a free five-day workshop taught by CSUSM faculty. Workshop topics included financial literacy, entrepreneurship, AI and cybersecurity literacy, and supply chain.
