Sharon Velarde Pierce, assistant professor of public administration, strives to mentor first-generation students like herself.
Although college seemed out of reach growing up, Sharon Velarde Pierce defied all odds and graduated three times from CSUSB, earning her bachelor’s in public administration in 2013, her MPA in 2014, and her Ed.D. in 2017. Velarde Pierce took her first college course at almost 36 years old to be an example for her own children.
CSUSB is celebrating Teacher's Appreciation Week. A week dedicated to the individuals who impact the youth of tomorrow. Together, we define the future. Thank you to all of our Professor's and Lecturer's continuing to make a difference within the classroom and the community.
