The Office of Community Engagement (OCE) at CSUSB competed with 24 other universities with campus food pantries in The National Peanut Board’s Snack Attack competition, where positive messages about peanuts as a healthy snack were to be promoted through social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram.
CSUSB beat out larger universities such as Pennsylvania State University, Diane Podolske, director of OCE, sent an email to campus expressing how she wasn’t expecting to win stating, “our campus food pantry isn’t even a year old,” and how she “privately hoped we would get enough participation to land in the middle of the list just enough not to be embarrassing.” “I was wrong. So wrong,” continued Podolske. For each participating school, The National Peanut Board provided a Snack Attack media package to promote on social media.
In addition, the OCE staff and students came up with more marketing strategies, handing out peanut granola bars’ , tabling at events, providing fun props and costumes to promote photos to post on Instagram and Twitter, as well as creating two YouTube videos. “We did a lot of things first.

CFA file unfair labor practices suit By CHERIE BROWER Staff Writer The California Faculty Association (CFA) has filed an unfair labor practice against CSU management for bargaining salary negotiations in bad faith. According to the CFA, faculty members are “angry” and “frustrated” with CSU Chancellor Dr. Timothy White’s “unfair” salary offer. The complaint was filed on Nov. 19 with the California Public Employment Relations Board, according to a CFA news release.
Once an unfair labor practice has been filed, the charge can result in an investigation, complaint, hearing, and a remedial order or dismissal. The complaint, according to a press release posted by the CFA, was based off of language in Section 3572b of the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA). The language states that the CSU and CFA must reach a salary agreement before the CSU sends a budget request to government or legislature; the agreement was not reached before the budget request was sent.
