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.
