Commission a Study
Do you want to know how your nonprofit or tax-supported organization can better serve its constituency? You just have to ask the right questions. CSUF’s Social Science Research Center conducts mailed, telephone (the center’s specialty) and Web-based surveys, evaluation research, needs assessments and image studies for nonprofit and tax-supported agencies. This year, the center provided research support for the biennial Point-In-Time count of homeless people in Orange County in which hundreds of volunteers hit the streets to count and interview that population. Paid positions (telephone interviewers) are available to help the center gather information—you never know what questions you’ll ask.

See New Art
Curated by CSUF graduate students, two exhibits will be presented at the Main Art Gallery this fall. The first comments on the paradox of human nature in “Humana Ex Machina,” which includes art work employing metal pistons, pulleys, wires, wheels and 18thcentury rotors fused with delicate wooden machinery. In “Domestic Departures,” contemporary female artists redefine domestic settings from their personal perspectives: female role-playing, childhood fantasies and household objects laced with a bitter sense of irony, nostalgia and capriciousness.
