Programs/Departments
Autism Spectrum Services: "In February 2010, the Institute convened an Autism Affinity Group to help focus campus resources and services on what has become the fastest-growing disability in the nation. One of its first activities was to compile a CSUN Autism Directory summarizing on-campus resources and expertise. The group has also identified a number of promising funding opportunities for the coming year that may be used to strengthen and expand autism-related services at campus centers and promote interdisciplinary research and activities."
Faculty Staff Wellness Program: "The primary element of the program is an on-campus class and coaching program designed to improve cardiovascular capacity, strength, and mobility, and it will ultimately incorporate the par course outdoor exercise equipment stations planned for installation on campus"
