Carmen Bustos-Works

Dean, College of Science


Welcome to the College of Science at Cal State East Bay!

I am Dr. Carmen Bustos‑Works, a first-generation college graduate raised in the Bay Area and an alumna of San Francisco State University (Chemistry and Psychology). I am honored to lead a college community dedicated to advancing science that is inclusive, innovative, and impactful.

Our students, faculty, and staff bring brilliance and heart to everything they do, from hands-on research and high-impact teaching to community partnerships that make a difference in the East Bay and create meaningful change in the world.

I know firsthand how transformative education can be for students and their families. My own academic journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to fairness, access, and academic excellence. I am excited to use my lived experiences to support our shared work in creating learning environments where all students feel a sense of belonging and can thrive.

Welcome to our vibrant community. I look forward to connecting.

Julie Glass

Associate Dean for Student Success

 

I am delighted to be part of the College of Science team! As a professor and chair in the Department of Mathematics, and numerous other roles around campus and across the CSU, and now as Associate Dean of Student Success in the College, I always have students at the heart of what I do. I believe that everyone benefits from a deeper understanding of why education matters and how it can transform lives, not only through career opportunities but through enriching our understanding of the world around us, the people with whom we live and work, and all the communities with which we engage. As Associate Dean of Student Success, I strive to create and support a community with this common goal: for all students to achieve their educational objectives, graduate and use their skills, talents, and passion to create the lives they choose and serve the communities where they live. I am a bay area native, received my AB in Mathematics from Smith College and my MS and Ph.D. in Mathematics from UC Santa Cruz, go Slugs!

I enjoy my position as Associate Dean of the College of Science because I get to learn about and participate in the exciting work of our students, staff, and faculty across all disciplines. My goal is to foster and support a learning community in the College where all its members have the opportunity to reach their potential and contribute to their academic community and to society during their time at East Bay and beyond. I received my bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my doctoral degree in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. It has been my privilege to be part of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at CSUEB.
