Today, I participated in the @housescience Research and Technology Subcommittee hearing on Advancing America’s AI Action Plan, where I underscored the importance of expanding AI education and access across the Central Valley and nationwide. I highlighted my NSF AI Education Act, which expands AI literacy — especially for rural students like those in the Central Valley. @Fresno_State’s leadership was also highlighted as an @NSF ExLENT program recipient, providing hands-on training in emerging technologies and preparing local students for careers in AI and other cutting-edge fields.

This week, @CSUdrG met with former CSU Trustee and now Congresswoman @LateefahSimon. From 2016–2024, Rep. Simon was a powerful advocate on the CSU Board of Trustees, where she championed equity and opportunity for all students. Today, we’re grateful to have her voice in the halls of Congress, carrying forward the #CalState mission on a national stage.
