ANNUALR E P O R T2

016

As I embark on my fifth year working with and serving the outstanding faculty, staff and

students of California State University, Fullerton, I am proud that the ultimate goal we

set out to achieve together — becoming the model public comprehensive university of

the nation — is now within our grasp.

When we first made this ambition known, to some outside the community it seemed

like a pipe dream — one that may have looked good in the pages of our five-year

Strategic Plan (2013-2018) but would be impossible to achieve given the state’s ongoing

disinvestment in higher education. However, like our more than 40,000 diverse students,

the faculty and staff of this great University found a way to “Reach Higher,” and in just

four years, we’ve cut the achievement gap in half for first-time freshmen, eliminated the

achievement gap for transfer students, and facilitated a 24 percent improvement in six-

year graduation rates.

This past academic year was crucial to this success and gave us the push we need

to finish strong before beginning our next strategic planning process and setting our

ever-moving bar even higher. Indeed, as you peruse the 2015-2016 Annual Report, it

becomes apparent that the innovative work of our faculty, staff and students has us

well on our way to becoming the model university not just of the nation, but of the

world, and, dare I say, the universe. After all, not many universities had a hand in the

discovery of gravitational waves, providing the world with a better understanding of

how the universe works. And while our impact is galaxywide on this front, we’re equally

integral to bettering our local communities, as evidenced by our Center for Healthy

Neighborhoods; exploring the world through programs like the President’s Strategic

Fund; and contributing to the arts with an impressively revamped glass program.

This success and other laudable achievements highlighted in this report encapsulate our

mission to create and explore in a collaborative effort to transform not just the lives of

our diverse students, but also the diverse communities, state and nation they will one

day lead as proud Titan graduates.

A national model indeed.

Sincerely,

Mildred García, Ed.D.

President

California State University, Fullerton

CAPS OFF TO OUR GRADUATES Thousands of graduates and candidates for graduation celebrated

their milestone achievement with family and friends — a crowd

of more than 69,000 — during this year’s May commencement

ceremonies. For the first time in history, the University conferred

more than 10,000 degrees.

“Graduates, you did it!” CSUF President Mildred García exclaimed.

“You juggled family, work, school, binge-watching ‘Game of

Thrones’ or ‘Project Runway’ … You learned new lessons and made

old friends, worked all day and pulled all-nighters. And because you

didn’t turn your back on challenges, today you reach one of your

dreams: a university degree. Congratulations!”

Deborah Voigt (above, near right), CSUF alumna and soprano,

and María Elena Salinas, co-anchor of “Noticiero Univision,” were

keynote speakers for the two-day event. Both were recognized with

honorary doctorates.


MAKING GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE HISTORY A team of CSUF scientists and student

researchers contributed to the first

direct detection of gravitational waves

Sept. 14, 2015, confirming a major

prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915

general theory of relativity. The discovery,

published in the February 2016 journal

Physical Review Letters, was made by

the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-

Wave Observatory (LIGO) Scientific

Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration,

using data from the two LIGO detectors.

Leading the CSUF research team was

Joshua Smith, associate professor

of physics and Dan Black Director

of Gravitational-Wave Physics and

Astronomy, along with Jocelyn Read

and Geoffrey Lovelace, both assistant

professors of physics, and Alfonso Agnew,

professor of mathematics.

On Dec. 25, 2015, CSUF scientists helped

to identify a second direct detection of

gravitational waves, produced during

the final merger of two black holes.

The second detection was announced

in June.

In July 2016, Cal State Fullerton was

awarded a $937,368 National Science

Foundation grant for a program to recruit

and expand the number of students

from underrepresented groups, in

particular Hispanic students, to study

gravitational-wave science, and provide

a pathway to enter the doctorate program

in gravitational-wave astrophysics at

Syracuse University in New York.

GIFTS EXCEED $22 MILLIONCal State Fullerton raised nearly $22.1 million in fundraising commitments for fiscal year 2015-16 — the second highest fundraising

year in the history of the University.

The University also reached all-time highs in donor participation among alumni, parents and faculty/staff, noted Greg Saks, vice

president for university advancement. In addition, the Senior Class Gift grew substantially over the fiscal year, with nearly 20 percent

of graduating seniors making a donation to their alma mater.

“Within every unit of University Advancement, we have achieved great success,” said Saks. “This speaks to the reputation of the

University, the hard work of our outstanding faculty, staff and students, and the recognition of the critical role that Cal State Fullerton

plays in educating members of our community.”

TITANS TAKE THE TITLECSUF softball won the Big West Conference

title for the first time in a decade, reaching

the NCAA Regionals. The team’s 45 wins

were the most for the program since 2002.

The Titans, who advanced to the regional

final before falling to the 12th-ranked

UCLA Bruins, were awarded four of the

six major Big West Conference awards:

Missy Taukeiaho was named Player of the

Year and signed a contract to play softball

professionally; Desiree Ybarra took home

the Pitcher of the Year award; Sydney

Golden was named Freshman Pitcher of the

Year; and head coach Kelly Ford was honored

as Coach of the Year.

The women’s soccer team captured its

third straight Big West Tournament title and headed to its first round in the NCAA

Tournament in November; against USC, the team took an early 2-0 lead but fell, 4-3,

in the second half to end its season. The men’s soccer team again won the Big West

title but also fell, 3-0, against Santa Clara in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

In January 2016, CSUF’s dance team clinched its 15th national title at the Universal

Cheerleaders Association and Universal Dance Association College Cheerleading and

Dance Team National Championship.

The four-time national champion Titans baseball team, which won yet another Big West

title in 2016, had seven players drafted in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player

Draft in June — the 42nd straight season they have had at least one player selected.

GOING TO BAT FOR TITANSAward-winning actor and director Kevin

Costner ’78 (B.A. business administration-

marketing) headlined the 10th annual

Dinner With Titans fundraiser, helping to

raise over $160,000. More than 700 Titan

baseball fans heard the alumnus reminisce

about his days as a student, his love of the

game and the Titans team.

“The baseball program at Cal State

Fullerton is so important,” he said. “It’s

sacred to me.”

Costner has returned to campus several

times to meet with students and athletes.

He also has joined Titans during exhibition

games and given pre-game pep talks

during College World Series appearances.

Among the former players in attendance

were Dodgers starting third baseman

Justin Turner and MLB All-Star and Golden

Spikes Award winner Phil Nevin. Addressing

current Titan players in the audience,

Costner shared, “You were brought here for

a reason — your character and your talent.

Trust your talent. Trust your coaches. Trust

that you’ll get your chance.”


HIGH IMPACT, HIGH SUCCESS High-impact practices such as research,

study abroad/study away and internships

— outside-the-classroom experiences that

are proven to raise student engagement

and graduation rates — continue to

leave an indelible mark on students’

academic success. Once a week, students

put together a Spanish-language news

broadcast — the first for the campus.

“Al Día” first aired in September 2015

and is paired with the College of

Communications’ two-year-old Latino

Communications Initiative, aimed at

developing an industry-ready workforce

via course and certificate programs in

Latino-oriented communication studies.

High-impact practices also hit the stage

when the CSUF University Singers

and University Symphony Orchestra

interpreted the works of composer

Tarik O’Regan at a November 2015

performance in Carnegie Hall. In June

2016, dance majors Andrew Corpuz,

Christopher Jensen, Jonathan Kim and

Kevin Lopez were selected to perform

“August” at the John F. Kennedy Center

for the Performing Arts in Washington,

D.C., as part of the American College

Dance Festival’s National Festival.

The new Healthy Lifestyles program, a

partnership between Cal State Fullerton’s

Department of Kinesiology and School

of Nursing, engages families in wellness

activities while providing hands-on

training to students considering

community health promotion careers.

Students lead interactive workshops and

hands-on activities related to health and

nutrition, stress management, physical

fitness and emergency preparedness.

GRANTS AND CONTRACTS DRIVE RESEARCH CSUF was one of nine grant recipients

of the 100,000 Strong in the Americas

Innovation Fund grants, announced

December 2015 by the White House,

U.S. Department of State, Partners of

the Americas and NAFSA: Association of

International Educators. The University

received the award in partnership with

Universidade Estadual Paulista’s Sorocaba

campus in Brazil.

In addition, CSUF’s GEAR UP program

continues, thanks to a seven-year U.S.

Department of Education grant expected

to total $7.2 million. The program guides

Anaheim students from junior high

through high school, creating a culture of

college attendance and increased student

achievement.

These are two of the many grants and

contracts the University received over the

2015-16 academic year, totaling more than

$21.3 million. Others include:

• $3 million from the California Institute

for Regenerative Medicine to support

the Bridges to Stem Cell Research

program, a 14-month program leading

to a seven-month paid internship,

where undergraduates conduct stem

cell research at partner institutions;

• a nearly $2.4 million U.S. Department

of Education grant to Pablo Jasis,

associate professor of elementary and

bilingual education, to help migrant

farm workers’ children. The program

offers community- and campus-based

instruction and support services, as well

as a transition-to-college component;

• more than $2 million from the Small

Business Administration to CSUF’s

Small Business Development Center to

continue to oversee the administration’s

regional small-business development

network for Orange, Riverside and San

Bernardino counties;

• a $1.8 million, three-year grant from the

U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services’ Health Resources and Services

Administration to broaden students’

understanding of career options in the

health care field; and

• $1 million from the National Institutes

of Health for a five-year, multidisciplinary

“big data” science program to train

students in this emerging field.


TURTLES AND MATH HEADLINE RESEARCH EFFORTSNew research by James Parham, assistant

professor of geological sciences, and

Colombian paleontologist Edwin Cadena,

revealed the existence of a sea turtle that

lived 120 million years ago. The fossil

from South America represents the oldest

confirmed record of sea turtles anywhere

in the world. Meanwhile, another fossil —

this time an elderly herbivorous marine

mammal called desmostylia — came to

light under the hands of geology graduate

student Gabriel-Philip Santos. For three

years, Santos studied a partial jaw fossil

found during construction of a toll road

near Mission Viejo. Parham and Santos

co-authored an article on the fossil in

the September 2015 issue of Journal of

Vertebrate Paleontology.

Student Isabel Serrano and mathematics

professor Bogdan Suceavă may have

solved a mathematical mystery. In an

article in the October 2015 issue of

Notices, the American Mathematical

Society journal, they discuss the origins

of curvature, a math formula used in

multivariable calculus, and the work of

14th-century French monk Nicole Oresme,

who founded the origins of the idea 2,300

years before Isaac Newton.

Decades of research into how copper

and iron function in the body were

recognized when Maria C. Linder,

chemistry and biochemistry professor

was named an American Association

for the Advancement of Science Fellow.

Linder, who joined CSUF in 1977, has long

been involved in studies on nutritional

biochemistry and has won more than $12

million in competitive grants.

REACHING R-3 STATUSCal State Fullerton has been elevated

to R-3 (research) status by the Carnegie

Classification of Institutions of Higher

Education, in recognition of the

University’s evolution from a master’s-

level comprehensive institution to one that

awards doctorates. The newly created R-3

designation follows the established R-1

and R-2 tiers designated for institutions

whose primary mission is research.

The University currently offers two

doctoral programs: Ed.D. (education) and

D.N.P. (doctor of nursing practice).

At Cal State Fullerton, the new R-3

designation also reflects the faculty’s

continued commitment to engaging

students in undergraduate and graduate

research. The University also has been

identified as a community-engaged

campus, recognizing that in its pursuit of

scholarship, the campus is committed to

its role as an anchor in the community.

President Mildred García welcomed 70 new members of the tenure-track faculty during the August 2015

convocation and dinner held in their honor at El Dorado Ranch.

A STAR-STUDDED EVENING Motown made a comeback in September

2015 during Concert Under the Stars,

as alumni, students and guests sang the

legendary tunes of The Temptations,

The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and other

musical artists of the 1960s and ‘70s.

Proceeds from the annual event fund

scholarships and student programs.

‘HAPPY HAPPY’ ANNIVERSARY Nickelodeon marked its history with

“Happy Happy Joy Joy: Art and Artifacts

From 25 Years of Creator-Driven

Cartoons” at the Begovich Gallery

in April 2016. The exhibit opening

included a Creators Talk with some of

Nickelodeon’s most admired personalities:

Butch Hartmann, creator of “Fairly

OddParents” and “Danny Phantom”;

Vanessa Coffey, who launched the

network’s animation division; Arlene

Klasky, co-creator of “Rugrats” and “The

Wild Thornberrys”; Jim Jinkins, creator of

“Doug”; and Stephen Hillenburg, creator

of “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

MYTHBUSTING DUOJamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, hosts

of Discovery Channel’s “MythBusters,”

were keynote speakers for the March 2016

Science and Math Symposium. “Science

isn’t facts,” said Savage. “Science is facts

in context, and in that context is a story.”


NEW CAMPUS LEADERSBringing a wealth of leadership experience

to their new roles, six deans were

appointed since the beginning of the

2015-16 academic year:

• Marie Johnson, dean of the College

of Natural Sciences and Mathematics,

previously worked as professor of

geology and director of the environ-

mental program at the United States

Military Academy at West Point;

• Lisa Kirtman, professor of elementary

and bilingual education, became

dean of the College of Education after

serving as associate dean;

• Kari Knutson Miller, dean of University

Extended Education and associate vice

president for international programs

and global engagement, was named to

the interim position two years ago and

previously served as chair and professor

of child and adolescent studies;

• Dale Merrill, dean of the College of

the Arts, who was dean of Chapman

University’s College of Performing Arts

prior to his arrival at CSUF;

• Scott Paynton, dean of the College

of Communications, came from the

position of associate dean of the

College of the Arts, Humanities and

Social Sciences at Humboldt State

University; and

• Laurie A. Roades, dean of the College

and Health and Human Development,

previously served as associate dean of

Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Letters,

Arts and Social Sciences.

A GOVERNOR’S PATH TO SUCCESSFormer California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger received a standing ovation

at a May 2016 Center for Insurance Studies forum on future industry trends.

“I was fortunate to have had many careers,” said Schwarzenegger, who was a

champion body builder, actor, filmmaker and businessman before he became

a politician. “It is important to have a vision. If you have a vision, then you

know where you want to go. Passion and vision will take you there.”

Professor of Music Robert Istad


ON THE PRESIDENTIAL TRAILIn September 2015, CSUF President Mildred García joined other educational leaders from

the Santa Ana Unified School District, Santa Ana College and University of California,

Irvine to launch the Award for Innovation in Higher Education in Orange County, a state-

funded effort to increase student achievement and close equity gaps in college education.

Under the program, the higher education institutions established guaranteed transfer

agreements for Santa Ana students who have graduated from Santa Ana College.

President García discussed the current state of successful strategies for increasing

faculty diversity on college campuses in a keynote address at the Hispanic Association

of Colleges and Universities Dean’s Forum in October 2015.

The president is co-chairing OASIS — Optimizing Academic Success and Institutional

Strategy, which is sponsored by The Education Trust. The network mobilizes 11 regional,

comprehensive institutions that serve large populations of underrepresented students

to collectively achieve their shared goal of improving graduation rates.

In April 2016, the University hosted the spring meeting of the President’s Advisory

Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. President García is a member of

the commission, which discussed ensuring equity in education, the Hispanic education

legacy and the landmark civil rights case that led to ending racial segregation in the

nation’s schools.

Additionally, she was commencement speaker and was awarded an honorary doctorate

in pedagogy at Berkeley College, where she served as the institution’s first systemwide

president.

TITAN ROTC PRIDE The Roy Lopez Army ROTC Obstacle Course opened in April 2016 to help train Titan Army ROTC cadets for their military careers. The course

is dedicated to ROTC cadet, the late Roy Lopez, whose mother, Adriana Mraz, donated the funds to build it.

CHANCELLOR’S VISIT During a daylong visit to CSUF in

February 2016, California State University

Chancellor Timothy White pointed out that

one in 10 college graduates in California

is a CSU grad and that CSU graduates

represent five percent of all college

graduates in America. “The economic

impact of the CSU is vast, and our goal

is to support and challenge our students

to prepare them to live and compete in a

global society,” said the chancellor.

Giving

This report recognizes nearly $22.1 million in philanthropic support through outright cash

gifts, pledge payments, in-kind donations, testamentary commitments and new pledges to

the University between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016, as reported to the Cal State Fullerton

Philanthropic Foundation and University Advancement by on-campus beneficiaries. The report

does not include membership in various University support groups. Every effort has been made

to ensure the accuracy and completeness of these listings. If your name was inadvertently

omitted or incorrectly shown, please notify University Advancement at 657-278-2118 or

EXPLORING THE WORLD’S CLASSROOM Out in the Mojave Desert, on an unexpectedly cool day, a small

group of Cal State Fullerton students study the effects of climate

change in a real-world setting. At the California State University’s

Desert Studies Center, they conduct research under the direction

of Darren Sandquist, professor of biological science, and Jeffrey

Knott, professor of geological sciences. They spend time in the

desert, courtesy of the President’s Strategic Fund, which provides

scholarship funding for study abroad and study away courses.

Elsewhere, a group of faculty-led students explores crime and

justice at the U.S.-Mexico border in Calexico and Chula Vista.

Another cohort studies the link between history and Mexican

muralism in Guanajuato, Mexico. Yet another group visits

Orange County’s Little Saigon community, home to the largest

Vietnamese-American population, to learn more about this

group’s contributions to society.

From San Diego to Germany to Vietnam, students from a wide

range of majors receive opportunities they may never have

dreamed possible. The President’s Strategic Fund supports

initiatives that offer students access to high-impact practices, and

is geared to those who demonstrate a financial need and have not

yet participated in a study abroad or study away experience.

It places particular emphasis in supporting first-generation

students or those with limited means. The fund is expected

to contribute to an increase in the already above-average

participation of Cal State Fullerton students in these types of

experiences.

“We believe in the transformational power of high-impact

practices and want to ensure that our diverse students have

the opportunity to learn in the world’s classroom — to witness,

firsthand, the social and cultural landscapes around us,” said

Mary Ann Villarreal, Cal State Fullerton’s assistant vice president

of strategic initiatives.

The President’s Strategic Fund directly supports the University’s

strategic plan, which calls for an increase in high-impact practices,

DESIGNING A FUTURE IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING A boom in medical device manufacturers throughout Orange

County and Southern California has created a need for unique

workforce preparation — one that Cal State Fullerton’s College

of Engineering and Computer Science is addressing through an

undergraduate biomedical engineering program with a medical

device emphasis.

This will be the first undergraduate program of its kind in

Southern California, differentiated by its multidisciplinary

emphasis on the design and manufacturing dimensions of

medical devices and complementary assistive and rehabilitative

technologies.

The curriculum will immerse students in design projects, rapid

prototyping and research experiences, supporting cross-

disciplinary project activity inclusive of engineering, business,

rehabilitation and allied health disciplines. These high-impact

practices with industry partners will ensure that students get the

necessary experience to be work ready upon graduation in such

a fast-growing industry.

“Cal State Fullerton is seeking to produce biomedical engineers

who can address medical and health care issues from an

engineering-centric point of view,” explained Sang June Oh, the

college’s interim associate dean, who is directing the program.

“The dependency of California on the biomedical sector is ever

growing — and more biomedical engineers must be produced to

fulfill this industry demand.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, biomedical engineers,

including medical device engineers, will see one of the fastest

rates of growth in all engineering occupations, with a 23 percent

increase in jobs expected by 2024.

“The region lacks a broadly accessible and accredited under-

graduate program with a medical device emphasis. Our plans

address this deficiency,” stated Raman Unnikrishnan, the

college’s former dean and professor of electrical and computer

engineering.

A $300,000 grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation will support

purchasing specialized lab equipment and developing curriculum

to prepare students for careers as practicing engineers in the

fields of biomedical engineering and assistive and rehabilitation

technology.

To learn more about investment opportunities in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, contact Michael Karg, interim senior director of development, at 657-278-3348 or [email protected].

FIRING UP A DISCIPLINE FOR ARTISTSOne of the College of the Arts’ early visual arts offerings is

poised for a state-of-the-art revitalization. The glass program,

which dates back to Cal State Fullerton’s nascent period in the

1960s, is being reinvigorated through a multiphase upgrade that

will include a redesign of the studio and new energy-efficient

equipment.

“Glass is an important discipline, and most schools do not have

the faculty or physical resources to offer this specialized training,”

said Jade Jewett, chair of the Department of Art. “Ours is one of

only three CSU glass programs. When students experience the

beauty of liquid glass blowing, new creative possibilities emerge.”

Taking the helm of this new effort is Hiromi Takizawa ‘05 ’07 (B.A.,

M.A. art), assistant professor and glass program coordinator,

who is no stranger to the medium; in 2012, Urban Glass Quarterly

named her the youngest of 50 artists from the Studio Glass

movement “whose work will remain relevant for the next 50 years.”

A $300,000 lead gift from a local patron of the arts is providing

the funds for new studio equipment, an enhanced curriculum and

guest artists.

“We are proud to support the vision of the Department of Art

in revitalizing the glass program at CSUF to create a dynamic,

sustainable learning environment for both students and faculty,”

explained the donor, who prefers to remain anonymous. “We

know art programs benefit not only those students pursuing

art as a career, but also anyone who takes a single class that

encourages creativity, problem-solving or expression. We

believe community partnerships are a key way to ensure that

art is around all of our lives, bringing more brilliant color into

our world for years to come.”

The gift, said Takizawa, “will ensure that our students can

experiment and explore their creative potential and that

Cal State Fullerton will continue to be a leader in the field

of glass study.”

To make a gift to the glass program or to the College of the Arts, contact Patricia Falzon, the college’s senior director of development, at 657-278-7695 or [email protected].

TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF UNIVERSE EXPLORERS The “chirps” celebrated inside the Gravitational-Wave Physics and

Astronomy Center on Feb. 11 were the sound of the universe —

gravitational waves sent out from a pair of colliding black holes a

billion light-years away and converted to sound waves.

The National Science Foundation and LIGO Scientific

Collaboration — a group of more than 1,000 scientists from

universities across the U.S., including CSUF, and in 14 other

countries — had announced the first detection of gravitational

waves, opening a new window onto the universe.

Housed in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the

center is the hub for faculty-student research activities related

to gravitational waves. The center is at the forefront of universe

exploration, making new scientific discoveries and inspiring the

next generation of scholars through leading-edge research,

engagement and mentorship.

The Sept. 14, 2015, discovery of gravitational waves — 100 years

after Albert Einstein predicted them — provides a fundamentally

different way to observe the universe, bringing new information

about the most violent astrophysical events, such as collisions of

black holes. A second gravitational-wave observation on Dec. 25,

2015 was announced in June.

The center’s research involves modeling sources of gravitational

waves, such as black holes and neutron stars; understanding

the gravitational-wave signals they produce; helping to identify

signals in the LIGO detectors; and improving the sensitivity of the

detectors.

With a generous gift from physics alumnus Dan Black ’67, the

center is positioned to expand and advance gravitational-wave

research, teaching and outreach. Black funded a three-year

naming gift to create the Dan Black Director of the Gravitational-

Wave Physics and Astronomy Center. His gift supports the

involvement of more undergraduates and graduate students

in research. This, in turn, will help them contribute to scientific

discoveries and learn laboratory, computing and problem-solving

skills applicable to careers in academia, computing, aerospace,

optics, signal processing and other industries.

“The center promotes a diverse scientific community to train

the next generation of gravitational-wave scientists,” said Joshua

Smith, associate professor of physics and Dan Black Director.

To learn more about investment opportunities in the Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astronomy Center, contact Michael Karg, interim senior director of development for the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, at 657-278-3348 or [email protected].

JUMPSTARTING SUCCESS WITH OVERNIGHT ORIENTATIONIncoming freshmen and transfer students arrive at Cal State

Fullerton every summer as part of orientation. This year, a

new program gave more than 100 underserved students the

opportunity to spend the night at the University’s housing

facilities and experience college life for two days.

The Division of Student Affairs offered the Overnight Orientation

program to enhance the onboarding process of new students.

The pilot program set two goals: to heighten the Titan connection

by offering interventions that integrate student life, academic

advising and expanded career support, exploration and real-life

application to all students; and to do so regardless of a student’s

finances. The program not only assisted students in their academic

and career exploration, but also gave students a sense of pride

and of belonging to the Titan community.

Overnight Orientation is one of many practices offered by Cal State

Fullerton to increase students’ chances of having a successful

college experience that culminates in a degree. Cal State Fullerton

has seen a 24 percent improvement in its graduation rate in

just four years, while its achievement gap — the disparity in

educational success between underrepresented students and their

non-underrepresented peers — has been halved. The University

also has eliminated the transfer student achievement gap.

A donation from Theresa and Richard K. Davis ’83 (B.A. economics),

chairman, president and CEO of U.S. Bancorp, made Overnight

Orientation possible for the first time.

“Our University orientation experiences provide a space for

priceless and powerful onboarding of our new Titans,” said

Berenecea Johnson Eanes, vice president for student affairs.

“During these times, we want to make sure they are plugged in

and ready for academic and co-curricular success. Our overnight

experience, in particular, is a high-impact practice that we are

excited to see grow in coming years.”

To contribute to the Overnight Orientation program, contact Cris Powell, director of development, student affairs and university programs, at 657-278-2917 or [email protected].

CHAMPIONING A COMMUNITY’S WELL-BEINGIn the Richman Neighborhood Center, a wellspring known as

the Center for Healthy Neighborhoods has restored a sense

of community. Developed in partnership with the city of

Fullerton, the center opened in January 2016 and offers culturally

appropriate services that promote health, education, college

readiness and resilience among children and families.

“Cal State Fullerton and the city are working together to

revitalize neighborhoods and to increase the economic outlook

of a community,” said C. Jessie Jones, the center’s director and

professor emeritus of kinesiology. “We want to reduce the cycle

of poverty and have students, faculty and community members

working together toward that common goal.”

Youth and family programs, health screenings, mental health

services, case management and resource referrals are offered

for free or at a reduced cost. One of the programs, Resilient

Families, focuses on enhancing parenting skills, managing stress

and improving parent-child bonding. Christine Bondiek, who is

pursuing a B.S. in human services, participated in the program in

spring 2016.

“I learned just as much as the children about being mindful, but

the more valuable personal development was the experience

of helping these families and bonding with them,” explained

Bondiek. “Working together with someone for a common goal

opens doors and builds bridges for both sides to come closer.”

“Students are able to get work experience and interact with other

students from different disciplines,” said Jones. “It also prepares

them to be more culturally competent — and they often serve as

role models in the community.”

Former State Assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer, a member of the Cal

State Fullerton Philanthropic Foundation Board of Governors, has

pledged ongoing support for the initiative. “I support the Center for

Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative because it makes a huge difference

and impacts the lives of local youth,” she explained.

With a growing wait list, largely due to word-of-mouth, the

center wants to extend its reach by offering the Resilient Families

and other model programs to more community centers around

Fullerton.

To find out about investment opportunities at the Center for Healthy Neighborhoods, contact Elizabeth Eastin, director of development for the College of Health and Human Development, at 657-278-5466 or [email protected].

OPENING DOORS IN THE NATION’S CAPITALIn the summer of 2008, Amie Zeoli ‘10, ’14, (B.A. political science,

M.P.A.) interned with a bipartisan lobby firm on Capitol Hill. She

became a legislative intern, gaining what she now describes as

both an unforgettable and an invaluable experience.

“We went on tours of the Capitol, attended congressional

hearings, went to networking events … it was my first professional

experience,” said the alumna, who works for the city of Anaheim.

More than 400 Cal State Fullerton students of all majors have

participated in the Cal State DC Scholars program since it began

in 2006, completing upper-division courses while interning at

congressional offices, nonprofits and advocacy groups, museums,

media outlets and executive firms in the nation’s capital. There,

they’re welcomed by an expansive network of Cal State Fullerton

alumni who offer guidance, support and opportunities.

The experience opens doors for many students who wouldn’t

typically get the chance to study away, receive mentorship from

established professionals or spend time soaking in the inner

workings of politics and business in Washington, D.C.

“What initially started as a summer program has expanded into

a yearlong study/internship program,” said Stephen Stambough,

chair of the Division of Politics, Administration and Justice, and

the program’s founding director. “Former DC Scholars often

mentor and advise today’s students. When you think of the

impact that this one program has on our students, I think we can

all feel a sense of pride.”

“I give to this program because I believe in the opportunities

and self-esteem it offers to Cal State Fullerton students,” said

Zeoli, who, besides donating financially, gives of her time as

program coordinator to mentor and guide scholars through their

experience. “I believe in the success and contributions that this

program can make on their lives.”

To contribute to the Cal State DC Scholars program, contact Alina Mircea-Trotz, director of development for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, at 657-278-2559 or [email protected].

For more information about the Ontiveros Legacy Society and planned giving, please contact Hart Roussel, director of planned giving, at 657-278-5429 or [email protected].

The Ontiveros Legacy Society consists of University supporters who have included CSUF in their estate plans for any form of planned

gift. The Ontiveros name honors the land grant ownership of Fullerton and other north Orange County cities. Martina and Juan Pacifico

Ontiveros were the original owners of thousands of acres in Fullerton, Brea and Placentia, including land now home to CSUF. The name

celebrates the legacy of Cal State Fullerton’s past, as it advances toward the future.
