TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT

MAESTROs Project Computer Loan Program

The MAESTROs Project Computer Loan Program was established to support students who lack off-campus computing resources due to the shift to online instruction. Not having the right equipment to access your coursework makes learning even more challenging. To help alleviate a few of the challenges, the MAESTROs Project has secured a number of laptops for free loan during the Spring 2021 semester to students who do not have access to key remote learning tools. These laptops meet CSUMB baseline specification requirements of laptops for successful virtual academic learning. Please review the following program details before submitting the application below:

• You must be a current CSUMB undergraduate, credential, or graduate student on the path to becoming a teacher.
• You must be enrolled in the Spring 2021 semester with a minimum of 12 units.
  
• Laptops will be distributed based on need.
  
• The loan is free, but you will be required to sign a property loan agreement contract which will make you responsible for any loss or damage to computer equipment.
  
• Laptops will be available to pick up on campus. If not, we will mail them out to you.
• Laptops will be loaned for Spring 2021 and to be returned at the end of the semester.

Making Accessible and Effective Systems for Teacher Readiness Outcomes

MAESTROs Project Overview

Administered by the U.S. Department of Education, the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program provides grants to assist HSIs to expand educational opportunities for low income and Hispanic students. CSUMB first became eligible for the HSI designation in Spring 1998, just a few years after the founding of the university.

Objective

The collaborative Making Accessible and Effective Systems for Teacher Readiness Outcomes (MAESTROs) project between CSUMB and Hartnell College has been selected to receive five years of funding under the HSI Title V. The MAESTROs project activities are designed to expand and enhance student support structures and improve retention and graduation rates of Hispanic and low-income education pathway students to fulfill the teacher workforce needs.

MAESTROs activities will focus on the following three main components:

• Develop and Enhance Student Support Systems (Student Connections)
• Facilitate Collaborative Articulations That Support Successful Transitions (Pathways)
• Support Program Curriculum and Delivery Improvement (Faculty Connections)

HSI Resources

• ¡Excelencia in Education!
