✨ Meet Library Student Assistant Sarai Gonzalez! ✨

Sarai is a kinesiology major who works in the library's Resource Sharing Department. We asked Sarai a few questions.

📚 What do you enjoy most about working at the Library?
"The ability to connect people with the resources they need, the work-life balance, and being able to help and communicate with everyone in the library!"

⚽ What do you like to do outside of work?
"Playing soccer, spending time with her baby, or exploring new places."

📖 Favorite recent read?
"Don't Believe Everything You Think"

🎓 When do you graduate?
"Fall 2027"

💙 What's next?
"I plan to do the accelerated nursing program!"

We're so grateful to have Sarai on our library team!

It was a special moment at the College of Humanities, Arts, Behavioral & Social Sciences (CHABSS) graduation ceremony as Theresa Rios accepted a posthumous honorary degree on behalf of her husband, Dan Rios.

As chief photographer of the Escondido Times-Advocate, Dan Rios captured the images of San Diego County for decades. His legacy lives on through his extraordinary donation to CSUSM of more than 1 million photographs taken by him and other photographers during his time at the newspaper.
