“Today’s Undergrads and
CSULB/LBCC 2025 Scholarship Recipients”
Long Beach City College, Building 02
4900 E. Conant St. Room 208, LB 90808
This program will explore a topic that touches the heart of our mission: Today’s college undergraduates — the students who shape the future of our communities, workforce, and civic life. We will also welcome CSULB and LBCC 2025 scholarship recipients.
Many undergrads today face high levels of financial stress, mental health concerns, and uncertainty about the return on their college investment. We’ll dive into:
- What college looks like today — demographically, financially, and culturally
- What makes Gen Z students unique in how they learn, communicate, and organize
- Impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on their studies and the job market
- How institutions like CSULB and LBCC are adapting to better serve these evolving needsAdditional information about this program can be found HERE.

We have been around since 1920, support opportunities for activism and have monthly program meetings that promote education and equity. not just for women and girls, but also for the City of Long Beach. We strongly value and encourage a diverse membership. We also have multiple interests groups.
