Our hearts are heavy to share the news that Professor David Teja, who taught in the School of Education for 22 years, passed away on April 18, 2025. Born and raised in Yuba City, Teja was a deeply influential educator whose passion for special education in the North State inspired countless students and peers throughout his career.
Born June 9, 1962, Teja earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Chico State in 1987. When he introduced himself to students every year, Teja was humble and insightful about discovering his path to special education.
"I took a class in special education the last semester of my senior year and the seed was planted," Teja wrote. "I was graduating from Chico State and I finally knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! Isn't it funny how you end one journey and begin another?"
After a brief period working in retail management, Teja returned to Chico State and completed multiple teaching credentials in 1993, and a master's in education in 1994. After graduating, he worked in middle and high schools in Corning, Red Bluff, Oroville, and Chico, establishing himself as a regional leader in the field and a strong advocate for students and adults with developmental disabilities.
"David was one the kindest people who I have ever had the privilege of knowing," said Al Schademan, School of Education director and science education professor. "His passion for the teaching profession, especially for working with special needs students was incredible. And whenever we needed someone to step up to do a job, David was the first to volunteer. He was an inspiration to us all."
In 2014, Teja earned his PhD in learning and instruction from the University of San Francisco.
Teja is survived by his wife, Deborah; their children, Jordan and Josette; and their six grandchildren.
The University flag will be lowered on Tuesday, April 29, in this honor.

At Chico State, we believe in a harm reduction approach to substance use — because every life is valuable, and deserves access to support without judgment. If you or someone you know uses substances, knowing how to recognize and respond to an overdose can save a life.
Recognizing an Overdose:
Overdoses can happen to anyone. Whether intentional or accidental, opioids—including fentanyl—can slow breathing to dangerous levels. Here's what to look for:
How Narcan (Naloxone) Helps:
Narcan is a safe, easy-to-use nasal spray that can reverse opioid overdoses and restore breathing within minutes. It won't harm someone if opioids aren't present, so if you suspect an overdose, it's always better to use it.
Free Narcan Available on Campus:
Remember the signs of an opioid overdose, pick up free Narcan on campus, and be prepared with the tools to save a life!

Join Safe Place on April 30th by wearing denim in honor of Denim Day!
What is Denim Day?
Denim Day started in 1999 in response to a controversial Italian court ruling that overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans, implying she could not have been assaulted if she could remove them herself. This ruling sparked outrage and led to the Denim Day movement, where people wore denim to protest victim-blaming and show support for survivors of sexual assault.
Why It's Important:
Denim Day is still an important movement today as we continue to emphasize that clothing is never an excuse for assault. Wearing denim on April 30th is a powerful way to stand in solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful narratives about sexual violence.
Resource Fair:
Join us at Trinity Lawn for a Resource Fair, where we'll be visible in our support for all survivors. Come by to learn about available resources, connect with others, and show your commitment to ending sexual violence.
Let's stand together, Wildcats, and raise awareness for this important cause!

Important University Housing Notice
As you probably know, as we get near the end of the semester, Chico State residents will begin moving home the week of May 12th.
It has been the experience of the University Housing department, that scores of students generally wait to move out their final two dates: May 15 and 16.
Although Legion Avenue will remain a two-way street, please note that in addition to Legion being very busy (in particular) May 15 and 16 for move-out, Chico State will begin holding graduation ceremonies Wednesday-Friday at 7:00 pm and continue throughout the weekend.
We ask that you please drive with particular caution in the Legion/Warner Street area as families and students will be distracted while in the process of moving out and we don't want anyone hurt.
