CELEBRATING ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Office of IDEAS: Inspiration Through Innovation
At the Office of IDEAS our goal is to inspire and transform education into future
success.
We address equitable access by promoting zero-cost courses and provide tablets for
new students, along with personal training that’s 1-on-1. So when students go out
into the community, they’re ready to see and shape the world like never before.
And it starts with supplying faculty with the right tools and training.
App Is Session
Dr. Caio Sarmento was faced with a unique challenge during the COVID-19 interruption:
how do you teach a hands-on physical therapy course while being hands-off? He found
greater student success with a hybrid solution that he still uses today.
Servant Leaders in Our Central Valley
Service-learning is a unique experience that combines academic coursework with meaningful

The California State University AGEP STEM Faculty Alliance Model: A culturally-informed
strengths-based approach to advance early-career Faculty success.
Mathematical Reasoning with Connections (MRWC)
MRWC is a new fourth-year high school mathematics course, developed by the CSU, and
designed to prepare students for the expectations and rigor of college mathematics
courses. It reinforces and builds on mathematical topics and skills developed in
Integrated 1-3 (or Algebra 1-2 and Geometry) and is designed as a bridge to college
mathematics courses required in either STEM and non-STEM majors.
Transition to Quantitative Reasoning (TQR)
This CSU developed course provides a pathway for students who may not be interested
in pursuing a STEM and/or math- intensive major and would typically not take math
their senior year. These students traditionally complete the 2-year math graduation
requirement and often take three years to do so.
