Mission Statement and Upcoming Events
Mission Statement
Our mission at Not Alone @ the Beach (NATB) is to provide confidential support services to the CSULB community regarding sexual assault, interpersonal violence, stalking, domestic violence, sexual harassment and exploitation. Our Confidential Campus Advocates offer crisis intervention and advocacy, individual counseling, accompaniment, referrals to current campus/community/legal resources, outreach, training and more. Supported since 2015 by an ongoing grant from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, NATB is the primary source of cutting-edge gender and power-based violence prevention education, engagement and outreach to CSULB students, faculty, and staff. We work to authentically engage our community and campus partners in our shared efforts at offering a holistic response to sexual violence and a safer, inclusive campus community.

But what happens when algorithms shape your future by creating your credit score, deciding on your loan applications, and assessing your job or rental eligibility?
Algorithms are making significant decisions in our lives and society. They are increasingly impacting all our lives, but some of us, particularly women, people of color, and people experiencing poverty, are made more vulnerable by algorithms.
Behind the Screens: Discriminatory Algorithms identifies this pattern of technology discrimination and poses solutions to address it.
