Campus Visit- CSU San Marcos
I had the opportunity to visit with the President's management team involved with the development of the athletic facilities and the Advancement team. Matthew Ceppi and Neal Hoss were very excited about the future development and partnerships opportunities that had recently come their way. The campus has done a great job with communicating with the City of San Marcos and the business community regarding the campus master plan. The future looks bright in San Marcos.

Campus Visit-San Diego State University
This visit to SDSU was primarily visit with the Alumni Association staff, visit the new Alumni facility and check in with the Director of the Honors program that travels aboard to the island of Cyprus.
The Alumni Building at SDSU is clearly a case study in the engaging alumni. You have to see the building to understand how awesome a facility it is. I'm certain Jim Herrick and staff would be willing to share their success story.

California State Student Association- San Francisco State University
I had the opportunity to attend the morning session on the CSSA Board meeting. Our own Karen Yelverton-Zamarippa was the first speaker of the day and she provided a summary of what was going on in Sacramento on behalf of the system and the focus of our legislative program. Following Karen was Assemblyman Alberto Torrico who was pitching is legislation AB 656.
Our students asked great questions on how any legislation was going to benefit students. I am truly impressed with the level of competency of our student leaders. Check out the CSSA website at http://www.csustudents.org The campaign MADE IN THE CSU rocks.

Campus Visit- Cal Poly Pomona
Following the November Trustees meeting I was the guest of President Ortiz and Alumni Director Melissa Riordan. A very full two day visit including meetings with the Student Senate, Athletic Department leadership,Advancement team,the campus Farm and meeting with the Alumni Board.
Cal Poly Pomona Alum and Alumni Council Executive Committee member Jon Lundstrom and Alumni Council President Ken Stone also were in attendance at the meeting and provided the local Board with a very comprehensive report on the work of the CSU Alumni Council.
Obviously the financial condition of the State of California budget remains at the top of everyone's discussion list. Alumni are very willing to mobilize on behalf of the campus and are interested in hearing more about our work in Sacramento.
During the meeting with the Student Senate the discussion focused on class section availability and a visual presentation from the students about how the budget cuts are impacting the students at Cal Poly Pomona.
Many thanks to Melissa Riordan for an outstanding visit.

Campus Visit- CSU Dominquez Hills
Monday prior to the November 2009 Trustees meeting, I was the guest of the CSUDH Alumni Advisory Council. Long-Time CSU Alumni Council representative Jimmie Thompson was present along with Vice President Greg Saks. It was important to Alumni Director Porsche Gordon that we spend some time discussing issues important to Alumni on campus and how to mobilize them on behalf of the campus.
The Alumni organization at CSUDH has made some organizational adjustments and in the vision of Campus President Millie Garcia, she believes they are on track to help the campus focus on student access and regional support for the campus.

Hearst CSU Trustees Awards
About the Award
The William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement is given each year to those students who demonstrate superior academic performance, personal accomplishments, community service, and financial need. Each of these outstanding students receives a $3,000 scholarship.
In April 2006, Dr. Ali C. Razi, Trustee Emeritus of the CSU Board of Trustees, endowed a scholarship fund to recognize the top scoring recipient of the Hearst / CSU Trustees' Award. The California State University Foundation Board of Governors honored his commitment to students by naming this outstanding individual as the Trustee Ali C. Razi Scholar.
In 2009, two exceptionally talented and dedicated students — Araciel Juarez and Phi Nguyen — received the $10,000 Razi scholarship, which is distributed due to the personal generosity of Dr. Razi.
In May 2007, Dr. Murray L. Galinson, Trustee Emeritus of the CSU Board of Trustees and Chair of the Board from 2004 to 2006, endowed a scholarship fund to recognize a Hearst / CSU Trustees' Award recipient who best exemplifies extraordinary public service to his or her home or university community. The California State University Foundation honored his commitment to students by naming the honored individual as the Trustee Murray L. Galinson Scholar.
This year two exceptionally dedicated students — Suzanne P. Pullen and Daniel L. Cole — received the $6,000 Galinson scholarship.
