Arts and Humanities 2023 Spotlight

Arts and Humanities Events and Awards

The College of Arts and Humanities held an Honors Convocation on Tuesday, May 2nd, to recognize the outstanding students in each of the college discplines and programs. Dean Bob Frakes (center) poses with the students who received those honors. We are so proud of our students and wish you all continued success!
Humanities Lab Event: For this meeting, Dr. Steve Frye of the CSUB English Department gave a fascinating talk on "An Unknown Tongue: God, Complexity, and the Limits of Secular Epistemology in Cormac McCarthy's The Passenger and Stella Maris.” The talk was followed by comments by an interdisciplinary panel composed of Dr. Fran Fairbairn (Philosophy), Dr. Javier Trigos-Arrieta (Mathematics), and Dr. Jon Young (Religious Studies). The comments of the panel, which was ably moderated by Dr. Steve Gamboa, were wide-ranging and thought-provoking.
2023 Alumni Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony: On Friday, March 3rd, 2023, Kris Turner (an internationally recognized trumpet player, composer, and educator) was inducted into CSUB's 2023 Alumni Hall of Fame. Above we see him pictured with supporting staff and faculty. The College of Arts and Humanities sends our congratulations!
