For the last seven years, the California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) has recognized the outstanding academic, research, and service achievements of selected LSAMP students and alumni across the CSU-wide alliance in a publication PROUD (Program Recognizing Outstanding Undergraduate Distinction). The PROUD scholars have distinguished themselves in so many ways and we are PROUD to recognize the following CSUMB students who were selected to be featured this academic year. Learn more about their accomplishments as well as those of the LSAMP community across the CSU.
