Dr.Robert Blackey |

Congratulations Dr. Robert Blackey! Dr. Blackey is the first faculty member to reach 40 years of service at CSUSB. Dr. Blackey earned his Ph.D in 1968 from New York University and came directly to CSUSB for his first full-time teaching job in the History department. At that time, the University was designated a “College” and the enrollment was under 2000. In 1972, he took time off from teaching to serve as the University’s first “Relations with Schools Officer,” during an enrollment crisis. He has remained in contact with many of his former students, several of whom have made noteworthy accomplishments as teachers, administrators, and college professors.
Dr. Blackey has won numerous awards and recognitions, including the system-wide Wang Family Excellence Award (2003), the CSUSB Outstanding Professor (1983-84) award, and the American Historical Association’s Eugene Asher Award for Distinguished Teaching (2001). Another memorable event was watching his oldest son, Richard, graduate in 1988 and subsequently earn his M.B.A. in 1990.
