First and foremost, I am delighted to announce that both our Industrial Engineering (IE) and Manufacturing Engineering (MFE) programs have successfully completed their ABET accreditation visit. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for us and underscores
our commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement.<br>
I am also pleased to inform you that we have welcomed two new faculty members, Dr. Eskandar Fereiduni and Dr. Dayue Jiang, who will join our team starting this fall. Their expertise and passion for research and teaching will undoubtedly enrich our academic
environment and contribute to the success of our students and programs.<br>
Additionally, I want to highlight the success of our IME Summer Academy held last year, where we had the privilege of hosting 20 high school students. The positive feedback and outcomes from this event reaffirm our dedication to inspiring and nurturing the
next generation of engineers. We are preparing to host another summer academy this upcoming summer for 30 students from Pomona District high school.<br>
Furthermore, I am proud to report that our program continues to thrive, with healthy enrollment numbers for the upcoming Fall semester. This speaks volumes about the reputation and quality of education we offer here at Cal Poly Pomona.<br>
Our faculty members have been successful in securing funds, further enhancing our capabilities and opportunities for innovation. As we look ahead, we continue to strive for excellence in everything we do and remain steadfast in our pursuit of knowledge and
advancement. Together, we can achieve great things and make a lasting impact in the field of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.<br>
Warm regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Non-Hispanic Black Women. The second project, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, focuses on using complex systems approaches to create an interactive policy analysis simulator designed to address the growing trend of cardiovascular severe
maternal morbidity among Non-Hispanic Black Women in North Texas. Together, these grants are set to bring approximately $700,000 to Cal Poly Pomona.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This study employs a System Dynamics Group Model Building approach to explore the underlying factors contributing to food insecurity, a significant public health issue in the United States. According to the World Food Summit, food security involves consistent
access to enough safe and nutritious food to meet dietary needs. This model incorporates the six key pillars of food security—food access, food availability, food utilization, sustainability, agency, and sustainability. The simulation aims to forecast how
food insecurity trends might evolve over time, both with and without policy interventions designed to reduce food insecurity<o:p></o:p></span></p>
