Academic Programs is hosting an open house retirement celebration in honor of Lourdes Shahamiri after 30 years of service to CSUSM. This is wonderful for Lourdes and a huge loss for CSUSM, especially for Academic Programs. She is a beloved colleague, mentor, and friend to many. Lourdes leaves behind a legacy, her contributions to campus are endless: she has published all CSUSM Catalogs since 1991, served as LAFS President in 2008-09, Co-Organizer of the creation of the Cesar Chavez statue, developed strategies and approaches for achieving the Hispanic Serving Institution Status, Co-developer of the Study Abroad Program in Spain for Spanish as a Second Language, and most recently, she serves on the Renaming of the Craven Hall Taskforce, among her many invaluable contributions to creating the CSUSM we know today. Now, it is time to come together and celebrate all of Lourdes’ contributions, to congratulate her as she begins her next journey, and well-deserved time to spend with her family and friends. Please join us at the celebration on November 30th anytime between 11 and 4 in Craven 5201 (no formal program, so come anytime) View Event Flyer
