Despite the powerful role the board of trustees has at any university, most of the community it serves knows little about what it does, or, as in the case of Cleveland State, who its members are.

The Vikings women’s basketball team won a school record 30 games during their 2022-23 season and won the Horizon League Tournament for only the third time in school history. The Vikings hope their 2022-23 season will lead to further success for the program.

With spring in full swing, there are plenty of things to do around Cleveland State this week.

“Your only competition is yourself,” Mikayla Colston, coordinator of marketing and advertising at CSU’s Recreation Center and a Pink Gloves instructor, said. “It's all about allowing us to grow from where we were before.”

“There is a lot of opponent testimony to come and there are a lot of opportunities to speak out in opposition to this and I intend to speak out,” CSU President Laura Bloomberg, Ph.D. said.

The "best of" The Cleveland Stater #2 for spring 2023 features Women's History Month, more on CSU 2.0, CSU Police Department's therapy dog program, Letters of Hope, and Destiny Leo, anchor of CSU women's basketball's very successful 2022-23 season.

“Overall, we are focused on advancing gender equity on CSU’s campus to the benefit of all members of the CSU community,” said the center's assistant director Evie DuVernay.

The Cleveland Guardians have their home opener for the 2023 season this Friday, but before that CSU will be hosting many other events on campus.

The Dan T. Moore MakerSpace is a valuable resource for students in the Washkewicz College of Engineering at Cleveland State University. Manager Matthew Johnson wants the rest of CSU to know it can be beneficial to them as well.

“If it wasn’t for the scholarship funds that the department provides, I probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to have them (faculty and staff at CSU) as educators,” said Cassandra Miller, a Theatre and Dance major at CSU.

“I wanted to establish a place where women are safe and can have fun,” said Ramandeep Arora, chair of the Campus Activities Board.
