Alison Ruth Holmes
Politics
Professor Alison Holmes (Politics) led the first-ever International Research Track of the CSU International Forum at the Chancellor's Office. Historically for CSU staff, the CO asked Holmes to be a Vice-Chair and expand the format to include faculty and/or international research. Holmes both facilitated the track and presented a paper with Drs Lily-House-Peters (CSULB) and Susan Ross (CSUSJ), "Supporting Diverse Students: Study Abroad and Transformation Curriculum", based on research at LB and Humboldt that explored ways campus study abroad preparation/follow-up programs could be more holistic and culturally aware. Holmes was asked to help develop the new track further next year.

Alison Holmes
Politics
Based on her career trajectory both prior to, and since arriving in, academe, Prof Alison Holmes (PSCI) was invited to offer a piece for the “Learning the Scholar’s Craft” series on the ‘Robert Jervis International Security Studies Forum’ of H-Diplo. Joining scholars of international relations, politics and history that range from Charles Maier and John Lewis Gaddis to Cynthia Enloe and Ann Tickner, the invitation was extended to Holmes as the Forum seeks to offer more “success stories” to their younger/female grad student and early career readers that explore the breadth of pathways taken by women in the field: https://issforum.org/category/essays/formation-essay
Maxwell Schnurer and Steve Ladwig
Communication
Dr. Maxwell Schnurer and Steve Ladwig received a US Department. of Justice grant to support a collaborative program between Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Redwoods offering a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Communication at Pelican Bay State Prison. This will be the first B.A. program in the US offered at a level-four, maximum security prison and in person. Partnering with Project Rebound and the Advising and Academic Career Center, the program will also provide re-entry support and post-degree employment preparation. This work will strengthen post-release career opportunities for incarcerated students, while reducing recidivism and enhancing community safety.
