A CSU Channel Islands Professor Joins the First 5 Ventura County Commission in California: Mari Riojas-Cortez Serves a Term Running Through January 8, 2029
California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, Ventura County, California, announced on November 10 that Professor Mari Riojas-Cortez, chair of the Early Childhood Studies program in its School of Education, has been appointed to the Ventura County First 5 Commission, where she will help guide efforts to support the health, development and well-being of young children and their families across the county.
The nine-member commission, appointed by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, oversees First 5 Ventura County and provides leadership and direction for programs and initiatives that promote the well-being of children from birth through age five. Funded primarily through California tobacco tax revenues, First 5 supports early childhood health, education, development and family strengthening programs.
Riojas-Cortez said she started out in 1988 as a bilingual prekindergarten teacher in a public school in Texas and has spent her whole career working to support young children and their families in different capacities. She said her research on Latinx family partnerships and young dual language learners has taught her how much culturally sustaining, evidence based programs matter.
Her appointment began on September 1, 2026, and runs through January 8, 2029.
