Deloitte & Touche
Executive and Graduating Student Find Common Ground
As a
first generation Latino college student, Jess Penilla, director of
multi-state tax services at Big Four accounting firm
Deloitte
& Touche, recognized
how his first job at the firm changed his life. So when he read graduating
senior Georgina Escobar’s resume after speaking on campus in March, he was
astounded not only at her qualifications but also how similar her life had
been to his own. Still, because of the firm’s yearlong recruiting process,
it appeared as if it was too late to get Escobar an interview with the firm.
Yet improbably, Escobar will begin her new role as a staff auditor at
Deloitte & Touche in the fall. Their story illustrates what can happen when a
deserving CSUDH student, a passionate mentor, a dash of serendipitous luck,
and a hefty dose of persistence converge.

10 Questions…on the
Apparel Industry’s Sustainability Story for Joy Gruver
As the west coast business development manager for Dri-release, a wicking fabric
technology that combines polyester with natural and organic fibers like cotton,
merino wool, and even seaweed, Joy Gruver has witnessed first hand the desire of
many outdoor apparel companies like The North Face and Adidas to build a
sustainability story for their brands. It’s a trend that hasn’t even hit the
market yet, but here, she explains when the recent surge of green interest
began, what it means for not only the apparel industry but all of Corporate
America, and how consumers will have the final say over whether the trend will
continue.

Newsmakers
Janae Oliver (B.A. political
science, 2001) was recently appointed the grants coordinator for the
City of Compton’s Panning and Economic Development Department. Oliver
previously worked in the late Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald’s
office, facilitating programs focused on community needs in Watts such
as the future of King/Drew Medical Center as well as public housing and
funding concerns.
Ginger Silvera (M.P.A., 2006) recently
completed her first year at Claremont Graduate University as a part of the
CSU Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program. The program encourages students
graduating from the CSU to pursue a doctorate through a forgivable loan
incentive. If a participant applies, competes for, and is hired in a CSU
instructional faculty position after completion of the doctoral degree, 20
percent of the loan is forgiven for each year of full-time postdoctoral
teaching employment in the CSU. Iris Baxter, associate professor and chair
of public administration, is Silvera’s sponsor in the program.
