William Bill Hoese, professor of biological science
For alumna Loralee Larios, Cal State Fullerton biological science professor William “Bill” Hoese’s mentorship and dedication to teaching and research drives students like her to succeed in science.
“Dr. Hoese consistently inspires eager minds to pursue careers in environmental biology, fosters their scientific development both in and outside the lab and classroom, and mentors them throughout the development of their careers. He has become a lifelong mentor, colleague and friend,” said Larios, who earned a doctorate and is an assistant professor at UC Riverside.
Another of Hoese’s students, alumnus Andres Carrillo, who also earned a doctorate and is research curator at Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, recalled how his former professor gave him a “true life-changing” experience as a student researcher.

Three Cal State Fullerton students are engaged in research projects that are helping to prepare them as future scientists and STEM leaders.
For their outstanding research and presentation skills, the students were recognized with Presentation Awards at the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans The National Diversity in STEM Virtual Conference. The awards recognize the next generation of scientists and STEM leaders from historically excluded populations, for making STEM accessible and inclusive, and encourages students to continue pursuing the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields.
