Campus Visit- Long Beach State- August 21, 2008

A number of capital projects have been completed in the CSU system over the past 12 months. One of the most impressive projects is the library control system installed at Long Beach State. Earlier this year, the CSU Alumni Council visited the library as well. During my official campus visit on August 21st, Mary Stephens, VP of Facilities, provided a tour of the control system that provides a capacity of over one-million volumes. In addition, I was able to tour the Film Department with fellow Trustee Craig Smith who chairs the department on campus.

Gay Arakawa, Alumni Director, organized a meeting with members of her Executive Committee at the Long Beach campus.
