The November meeting for the California State Student Association (CSSA) was held on Saturday November 15 on the campus at Northridge. Bob Linscheid provided the report on behalf of the Alumni Council. All but three campuses were represented that weekend that included a day-long meeting on Friday the 14th with Chancellor Reed and staff to discuss the importance of student involvement in system-wide governance.
Students remain concerned about the rising cost of student fees and the ability of the system to accommodate all students that are CSU qualified. It was during that meeting the Governor announced the selection of Russell Statham of Fresno State as the incoming student Trustee.

October 17- Town & Gown Conference- SLO
The Annual Town and Gown Conference was held in San Luis Obispo on Thursday and Friday October 17 and 18. Best practice programs were held during two-half day sessions. In addition, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell was one of the keynote speakers.
This conference was geared for campus leaders,deans, community and governmental relations, and staff and faculty with expertise in planning, housing and transportation. The cities are inviting elected officials, city managers, county administrators, and planning/community/economic development staff.
I was particularly impressed by the technology, innovation and economic development session put on by the City and University of Boulder. This would be an area of great interest in communities where CSU campuses are located.
