Nov 16, 2026 8:30 AM | Organization: Student Nurses Association Blood Drive - Student Nurses Association (SNA) is partnering with the American Red Cross to bring a Blood Mobile to campus, creating a vital opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to donate blood and help save lives! This partnership not only serves the community, but also helps nursing students develop critical skills in public health advocacy. The American Red Cross will be arriving on campus and set up with accordance to their safety policies and those set by the school. Trained staff will be on site for any blood collection and for any questions that individuals may have about donating to the American Red Cross. Nursing students and members of the Student Nurses Association will be volunteering at this collaborative event. We expect the number of individuals to fluctuate depending on how many students and staff we have sign up for donating blood.

Nov 16, 2026 6:00 PM | Organization: Arts & Lectures Get your tickets here! Navigating Culture, Language, & Performing Arts in Disney's Live Action Moana The release of Disney’s live-action Moana film involved local expertise and talent from CSUSM and our surrounding area in San Diego and greater Southern California. Audiences will learn about the making of the film through the perspectives of the Oceanic Cultural Trust, a group created by the film company to serve as cultural consultants on Oceanic language and performing arts. CSUSM faculty Dr. Grant Muagututi’a served as the lead cultural consultant for the film. His work focuses on the need for Oceanic language conservation efforts through mainstream popular media, independent documentary film, community partnership programming, and in higher education institutions both locally and abroad. He, along with others involved in the film, will offer reflections on their specific roles in making the live-action film. Members of the Oceanic Cultural Trust and actors from the film will engage audiences with behind-the-scenes stories and live-action musical and dance performances exclusively for CSUSM to inspire everyone to reimagine how grassroots cultural arts education can shape more inclusive experiences of higher education and impact popular media representations.
