Excelencia in Education has released Latino College Completion: United States 2026, a national analysis examining Latino degree attainment and college completion across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the nation.
The report highlights several key findings, including that Latinos are projected to account for 91% of new U.S. workers by 2031, while 29% of Latino adults currently hold an associate degree or higher. The analysis also identifies persistent college completion gaps and highlights institutional practices that improve student success.
The findings are especially relevant to Chico State, where Latino students represent approximately 39% of our undergraduate student population. Understanding these national trends helps inform our efforts to foster student success, strengthen degree completion, and prepare graduates to meet California's and the nation's future workforce needs.

Professor Emeritus, John Chancellor Young who taught in the department of physics for more than six years passed away on June 27, 2026, he was 88. A deeply influential educator, Young is remembered for his dedication to his students and commitment to fostering curiosity and scientific discovery within the classroom.
Born on May 21, 1938, in Sacramento, California, he graduated from Davis High School before earning degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Davis, where he completed his Ph.D. in Physics.
In his personal life, Young upheld a deep appreciation for travel. He explored much of the United States as well as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, England, and Western Europe. One of his most treasured experiences was the year he spent living in in Egypt. Young is survived by his beloved wife of 36 years, Martha; his daughter, Barbara, his son, Gregory; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
A private scattering of Young's ashes will take place off the coast of Bodega Bay near Salmon Creek, where his family shared many years at their vacation home. The University flag will be lowered on Tuesday, Aug 4 in his honor.

Students who enter Chico State without a declared major are now part of Exploratory Studies, which is housed within Undergraduate Education and Academic Success (UED), located in Meriam Library, Room 338.
The term Exploratory Studies is being used intentionally. Research and practice in this area suggest that this framing is more supportive and student-centered than "undeclared," recognizing that students are not behind or lacking direction, but are actively exploring academic interests, strengths, and possible paths.
This move brings together a more coordinated set of supports for Exploratory Studies students. In addition to having UED as their academic home, students have access to a dedicated advisor, a faculty mentor, a student lounge inside the First-Year Experience space in Meriam Library 208, and a first-semester course, UNIV 120: Transitions and Transformation, designed to support academic identity, major exploration, and college success.
Cassandra Faith serves as the faculty mentor for Exploratory Studies in the role of Exploratory Studies Success Coordinator, helping connect students' academic exploration with meaningful faculty guidance and support.
Greg Morales has moved from Academic Advising Programs into the new role of Academic Advising Coordinator for Exploratory Studies (Undeclared). This is Chico State's first dedicated advising position for Exploratory Studies students. Greg will work directly with new, continuing, and returning students as they explore majors, select courses, understand degree requirements, connect with campus resources, and prepare to declare a major when they are ready.
Faculty and staff working with Exploratory Studies students are welcome to refer them to Greg at gmorales11@csuchico.edu or to UED in MLIB 338.
Please join us in congratulating Greg on this new role and in welcoming Exploratory Studies students into UED as their academic home during this important period of exploration and decision-making.

Professor Emerita Laurie "Maggie" Payne, who taught in the School of Education for nearly 22 years, passed away on July 15, 2026, at the age of 76.
A deeply influential educator, Payne's innovative approach to teacher preparation and unwavering support for students inspired generations of future educators throughout the North State and beyond.
Born November 26, 1949, on a Navy island outside of Concord, New Hampshire, Payne earned a bachelor's degree in French with a minor in Italian and a secondary teaching credential from the University of California, Los Angeles. She later earned a master's degree in higher education administration and a doctorate in education from Oklahoma State University.
Payne joined Chico State in 1998 as a professor in the Department of Education and went on to serve in numerous leadership roles, including program director of the Rural Teacher Residency Program, associate dean, and interim dean of the College of Communication and Education. She also served as co-coordinator of the Single Subject Program and co-director of Single Subject Placements, helping strengthen teacher preparation across the region.
A trusted mentor and colleague, Payne pioneered several externally funded teacher residency initiatives, including the Residency in Secondary Education (RISE) Program and the Computer Literacy Across Secondary Settings (CLASS) Program.
Her leadership also helped secure a $7.3 million federal Teacher Quality Partnership grant establishing the Rural Teacher Residency Program, which brought teacher preparation directly into rural school districts. The program became a national model for teacher preparation.
Payne's longtime colleague and former associate dean, Debbie Summers, described her as "one of the fiercest defenders and creators of quality teacher education programs designed to provide future teachers with the resources and professional development they needed. She inspired her future teachers and her colleagues with her boundless enthusiasm, creativity, generosity, and love of life."
Throughout her career, Payne remained active in professional organizations, including the National Network for Educational Renewal, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and the California Council on Teacher Education, contributing to the advancement of teacher education at both the state and national levels.
Outside of the classroom, Payne was an avid golfer and dog lover who enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She is survived by her husband, David Payne.
The University flag will be lowered on Tuesday, August 11, in her honor.

The North American Butterfly Association sponsors annual butterfly counts, tracking butterfly populations over the long-term as an index of environmental quality. In June 2026, along with the staff of the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and volunteers, I completed our 20th annual sanctioned Butterfly Count. This was the second such count following the July 2024 Park Fire in which 95% of the Reserve burned, and it has yielded some distinct patterns, with some species apparently benefiting from the fire, as well as those suffering declines.

Fulbright Canada offers American scholars several professional opportunities to further ground-breaking research and foster lasting connections. Through a wide selection of Fulbright Canada Research Chairs available at world-class universities and research facilities across Canada, you could become part of the worldwide network of Fulbright alumni who have benefited from the unparalleled chance to advance their research goals through adding a global context into your career.
The Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program operates on the principle of reciprocal exchange and provides the opportunity for outstanding American scholars to lecture and/or conduct research in Canada. Award recipients include prominent and promising scholars, as well as experienced professionals. The Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program strengthens bi-national collaborative research and promotes thoughtful public debate on topics that reflect the broad range of contemporary challenges relevant to Canada, the United States, and the relationship between the two countries.
While the competition is officially open field, we are especially keen to support students in the humanities in the areas of communications and culture, in Canadian-American relations, in all areas of contemporary public policy, on topics relating to culture and to the environment, law, indigenous issues, and in pure and applied sciences.

The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program 2027-28 competition is underway!
Fulbright U.S. Scholar Awards give opportunities to U.S. citizens to teach, research and carry out professional projects around the world.
In this webinar, we will highlight a selection of the 2027–28 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Partnership Awards, including opportunities for applicants at all career levels, from postdoctoral/early-career to senior academics, and share tips for connecting with overseas host institutions. Partnership Awards are co-sponsored by institutions that are actively interested in hosting a Fulbright Scholar on their campus. These awards are especially appealing because they take some of the guesswork out of finding a host institution, and many of these institutions have welcomed Fulbright Scholars to their local communities for years.
In addition to briefly highlighting some of these Partnership Awards, we will also share tips and strategies for connecting with overseas host institutions. These suggestions will be helpful both for applicants exploring Partnership Awards and for those applying to awards that allow applicants to propose their own host institution. The webinar will conclude with a brief live question & answer session.
Can't make it? No problem! This webinar will be recorded and we encourage you to still register, so you can have access to the recording.
