In October, CGU opened a fully wired technology lab in the campus academic computing building, with funds from a partnership with Brea-based computer monitor manufacturer ViewSonic Corp. and Taiwan computer hardware manufacturer Acer. CGU also received a $3.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to support students in its teacher education program, with a focus on training teachers to help underserved students in Los Angeles-area communities.
