Graduate Assistant (Former Employee), Los Angeles, CA – May 10, 2013
The Management Dept. at CSULA is the best among all the departments. I love the culture, the diversity, the co-operation of staff and students, the education and knowledge that is delivered has a high quality and it meets today's industry needs. The knowledge is up-to-date and hard concepts are made really easy. I owe a lot to this school.

CSUN
Academic Mentor (Former Employee), Northridge, CA – May 1, 2013
CSUN is a typical university. They have over-complicated accounting processes that cost more than they save. With that said I am blessed to have had fantastic management in all three areas they have had me work.

Part time faculty (Current Employee), Los Angeles, CA – April 14, 2013
I enjoy working in CSULA as a part time faculty. All the faculty members and staff are so friendly. During my time at CSULA I have learned a great deal and achieved a number of goals. I believe my knowledge of Communications, Computers and the ability of working with much industrial software would make me a great addition to any workforce.

Strong and resoucesful department for future teachers.
Dominguez Hills Supervisor Diana Lopez (Former Employee), Carson, California – April 1, 2013
Pros: flexiable schedule (student)
Cons: part time only
This job was extremely rewarding because I was helping current students make sure they are following the correct path to becoming the new generation of teachers. I learned how to plan and individualize each case per their field of study. The employment was filled with co-workers who all had great energy and smiled every chance they could. The management – more... was always available for questions and support if a situation was to arise that was out of my job description. The hardest part of this job was seeing the disappointment on a students face when they find out that they have not completed all the requirements to attain their degree. However, the most positive portion of this job was the excitement of students getting finishing their degree's and thanking me for my help. – less

One of the 23 CSU schools, one of the few located in the Central Valley.
Foreign Credentials Evaluator (Former Employee), Fresno, CA – March 17, 2013
Pros: working at a well established institution of higher learning.
Cons: being approached outside of work to give confidential professional information.
A typical day involved reviewing educational documents from around the world. Additonal research included contacting embassies, overseas educational instutions and professional associations to try to establish equivalencies or verification of educational institutions and credentials. The hardest part of the job was informing the students that their – more... prior work was not accepted under the current catalogue or guidelines. It was very rewarding to see newly admitted and continuing students especially at campus functions. It was both a challenge and a reward to work with the international interns. – less
