Rep. Nanette Barragán Visits CSUDH to Celebrate $700,000 Secured in Federal Funding

Rep. Nanette Barragán (CA-44) May 4, was in Carson, with California State University Dominguez Hills or CSUDH President Dr. Thomas Parham, dean of the CSUDH Nursing School Mi-Sook Kim, nursing students, staff, and supporters of CSUDH to celebrate funding that will enhance the university’s nursing program through the purchase of new equipment. The $700,000 in funding was secured by Barragán as part of the Community Funded Projects included in the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act that the president signed into law on March 15, 2022.

On March 9, Barragán voted to pass government funding legislation to help lower costs for the middle class, create American jobs, and support the vulnerable. The funds total $7,535,000 for 10 local projects that directly benefit District 44 residents. This includes $700,000 for CSUDH to enhance the university’s nursing program through the purchase of new equipment, supplies, and medical simulation technologies that will provide students with an improved, hands-on experience in their classes.
