CSU Stanislaus Budget Central

Budget Central has been created to provide the latest news about the CSU Stanislaus budget in light of the state’s severe cuts to the California State University system. The University has been required to make $13.5 million in cuts to its 2009-10 budget, including a $2.5 million reduction of part-time faculty and staff, and has reduced full-time equivalent enrolment to 6,800.

Like many Stockton Center students, Veronica Estrada is both typical and unique. The child of farm workers, Veronica, 28, took a seven-year break from her education before making the life decision to return to school and pursue her BA in Criminal Justice.

She obtained her GED, then took advantage of the 2+2 program, completing her AA degree at Delta College before transferring to the CSU Stanislaus-Stockton Center at University Park for her BA.

“My 10-year-old sees what I’m doing, and wants to
be like me, so she is studying harder… I am proud of
her, and she is proud of me.”

“I knew it was up to me to make something of myself,” Veronica says. “I wanted a career in law enforcement, and all of the classes I needed were offered right here in Stockton.”

Veronica, who hopes to become a detective, works part-time while attending classes and raising two daughters. “My 10-year-old sees what I’m doing, and wants to be like me, so she is studying harder, getting better grades, and completing all of her homework on time. I am proud of her, and she is proud of me.”
