2016 Health Professions conference gains support. CSUSB's President, Tomas Morales, starts the ball rolling (or the mercury rising) with a sponsorship to the next HP Conference to be held on March 17 at Cal Baptist University. We also want to recognize
 Colton Unified School District's Superintendent of Schools, Jerry Almendarez, who has pledged support a second year in a row. This FREE adult-type conference offers students opportunities to learn more about various health professions, college preparation and resources to successfully achieve their dreams. All of this is made possible by volunteers, sponsors, and health professionals who donate their time. We have provided a sponsorship letter for your agency or organization asking for your support. We are also putting out a call for workshop presenters.To see highlights from 2015 HP Conference visit our website.
