For many students, quantum physics education centers on theory, with few opportunities for hands-on experience. Cal State San Marcos physics professor Justin Perron aims to change that. Perron is leading a three-year, $1,085,815 project supported by the Laboratory for Physical Sciences, targeting one of the most demanding areas in modern science: quantum information science and technology (QIST).
The effort builds on a previous Department of Energy RENEW award that equipped CSU undergraduate faculty to integrate quantum concepts into their courses. Now Perron is tackling the next barrier: getting students hands-on experience with the technology itself.

Alyssa Helmantoler’s involvement in Future Educators Association has been supported by Project R.I.S.E. (short for Recruiting Inclusive, Supportive Educators), a CSUSM initiative aimed at strengthening Southern California’s educator pipeline. Project R.I.S.E. also has shaped Jared Leeds’ experience through program events, where he explored teaching high school students and connected with educators.
The initiative is generously funded by SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, which provided an initial $40,000 grant to launch Project R.I.S.E. last year and has since committed an additional $120,000 to expand the program.

With five young grandchildren and five acres to tend, retirement for Major General Anthony “Tony” Jackson and his wife, Sue, has been a full-time endeavor.
Jackson first visited Cal State San Marcos in 2011, and one thing stood out to him immediately: a dedicated office for student veterans. This would motivate him to serve on the CSUSM Foundation Board for 13 years. Today, he and Sue continue to support student veterans through the Major General Anthony L. Jackson Veterans Endowed Scholarship.

Akayla Hackson has always had a knack for finding solutions to problems. So when Kelsey Forrester told Hackson about the most challenging part of her job at UC Santa Barbara, Hackson took action.
Hackson and Forrester have been close friends since their days as teammates on the Cal State San Marcos women’s basketball team from 2018-22. Forrester, now an assistant coach and director of basketball operation for the UCSB women, told Hackson how the hardest part of her job is coordinating meals for players when the team is on road trips. In coming up with an alternative for Forrester, Hackson launched MealOps, a business that aims to modernize team meal logistics by helping athletic programs efficiently coordinate, organize and execute large group orders.
