Did the Surf Industry Kill the Future of Wetsuits?
A dozen miles from the Pacific Ocean, at California State University in San Marcos, surfers paddle against a current in a temperature-controlled tank.

Alumni Spotlight: Christina Ruiz '19 '20
Christina once thought higher education was unattainable, but she's now attending
Yale School of Medicine to become a Physician Assistant. After having children and
navigating community college as a first-generation college student, Ruiz enrolled
at CSUSM in 2017. Ruiz graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology. She continued
at CSUSM and earned a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) in 2020. She had multiple roles
in healthcare and served the San Diego Latinx community, including as a Spanish medical
interpreter. She quickly realized there was a need for more Latinx healthcare providers.
Ruiz thanks CSUSM for helping her get to where she is now.
“Asking for help impacted my time as a student greatly. I joined EOP, applied for
scholarships, saw counselors, applied for living assistance, went to office hours
& tutoring, and made friends with peers. It’s because of my community I am where I
am today.”
