We are so proud and he is so deserving!
SDSU Africana Studies Professor Charles Toombs is one of two Wang Family Excellence Award recipients from SDSU.
At a CSU Board of Trustees meeting this week in Long Beach, Chancellor Mildred García and board President Wenda Fong presented the Wang Family Excellence Award to Professor Charles Toombs, known for his dedication to antiracism and to social and cultural justice, and John Crockett, associate vice president for research advancement, whose support for early-career faculty and their research funding extends throughout the CSU system.
CAL Interim Dean Ronnee Schreiber said, "Dr. Toombs serves as a model for us all — both his colleagues at SDSU and his colleagues throughout the California State University — as a paradigm for constructive, forward-thinking dialogue and deep collegiality. Dr. Toombs embodies a rare combination of intellectual power, political commitment, genuine care, and profound integrity. For those of us at SDSU, and particularly within the College of Arts and Letters, Dr. Toombs has been, for many years, our leading light, and our North Star."
