The CSUF Affordable Learning Solutions (ALS) campaign, initiated on February 26, 2014, aims to improve educational access through collaborative efforts across the campus. Key projects include the development of an informational website, ongoing outreach to stakeholders, and creating interactive resources for digital content. We address challenges like student engagement, while emphasizing peer presentations and flexible timelines. Future directions involve enhancing training based on feedback, expanding pilot projects, and ensuring sustainability after initial funding ends.

CSUF: What’s Not Working as Well as We Would Like • Peer to peer presentations via open forum • Firm timelines—flexible schedule found to be beneficial especially when accommodating department meetings • Student membership on committee unstable • Roadshow faculty may need to defer to committee experts for specific questions and can’t do so “on the spot” • How to institutionalize the project website after grant funding ends (webmaster, fact checker, etc.)
