CSUEB IS failing our black students and faculty at CSUEBAlthough CSUEB is one of the most diverse campuses in the CSU system we have some of the worst graduation rates for our students of color, with only 10% graduating in 4 years. The majority of our departments have no Black faculty and in the last 8 years we have lost over 50% of our Black faculty (compared to 10% of our non-Black faculty). These numbers are unacceptable, we need to be doing better! The Pakpour lab is committed to working with others across the campus to help change these abysmal statistics.

Pakpour lab new paper"Deconstructing yogurt: A different method for understanding fermentation in an undergraduate microbiology laboratory setting." Fermentation labs in microbiology are a versatile way to introduce concepts of energy production, while allowing students to explore different cultural heritages, and can be adapted for both in-person and remote teaching. With the help of Dr. Salmon, we also wrote a little news article for the American Society of Microbiology website.
