Alumni Give Back

Dr. Ronald Ellis, Sandy Young, Alan Young and Jane Ellis.

Alan, ’69, and Sandy, ’69, Young, have been residents of Riverside and supporters of CBU for more than 50 years. Both graduated from then California Baptist College (CBC) in 1969. Alan obtained his Bachelor of Arts in History and Sandy her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. During their senior year at CBC, Alan and Sandy were selected for teaching internships in the Jurupa Unified School District. Both went on to serve in the field of education and obtained master’s degrees. After retiring, both Sandy and Alan taught as adjunct professors at CBU and National University. Alan and Sandy have also been great supporters of Lancer Athletics through their financial gifts.

“We wanted to model for our kids, and especially our grandkids, the importance of giving to others,” Alan said. The Youngs are Lancer basketball season ticket holders, and Alan is a member of the Lancer Athletics Association Development Board. In 2019, Alan and Sandy created the John Caleb Williams Memorial Endowment Fund to support Lancer Athletics in honor of their late son-in-law.
