Alumni Visit- New York City

I was able to accompany Vice Chancellor Garrett Ashley on a visit to New York City to meet with CSU Alumni in that region. Our host was Paul Dorr from Bernstein Wealth Management. Mr. Dorr is an alum from San Francisco State. Twenty-seven guests attended including CSU Alumni Council past President Dana (Bezzera) Pancrazi who works in New York City.

Daryl Clements,Senior Portfolio Manager for Municipal Investments provided an interesting program on the California economy including a view at the housing market, Export data, a view on the State Budget and a discussion on the safety of the municipal bond market.

President King Alexander from Long Beach State attended and provided specific information to the Alums present regarding the CSU system and answered their questions regarding what the system is doing to advocate for greater investment in Higher Education.

I am hoping that we continue this program and strongly encourage campuses to participate.
