Authentic stories are created and cultivated at California State University, Dominguez Hills. Located minutes from downtown Los Angeles and beach cities, CSUDH is a model urban university with a highly diverse student body (64% female, more than 87% students of color) dedicated to gaining the knowledge and skills they need to contribute to a complex, global society.
CSUDH’s Journalism Program encourages professional journalistic practice that promotes equity for all students, training them to be sensitive to and provide a voice for underserved, underrepresented, and marginalized communities as a social responsibility.
The journalism industry continues to make strides in diversifying its leadership and content, yet entry into this profession and advancement through its ranks remains especially hard for people of color, marginalized communities, and lower-socioeconomic groups.The GGF funds help level the playing field so that promising students who lack the financial resources and connections have equal access to current and future journalism career opportunities. GGF fellowships benefit our students by contributing their valuable voices to an industry that desperately needs more diversity of representation, thought, and perspective at this transformative moment.The funds also cover the costs of extra-curricular events that benefit talented CSUDH students majoring in Journalism.
