n Student fee increase. Undergraduate student

fees will increase from $3,658 per year to $4,662 annually, and there will be comparable increases for graduate, credential and non-resident students.

One-third of the fee increase will be set aside for need-based scholarships. n Reduced admissions. We are expecting 1,200 fewer college-eligible community college transfers and first-time freshmen this fall. Summer enrollment was cut by 38 percent. CSUF has closed spring 2010 undergraduate admission. n Salary and hiring freeze. Nonessential positions will not be filled, and we have instituted travel and purchasing restrictions. n Furloughs. A twice-monthly furlough plan began in August, affecting virtually all faculty and staff members. n Operating expenses. We continue to seek other cost-saving measures.

We truly appreciate the efforts of our faculty, staff, students and administrators whose ongoing sacrifices allow us to maintain the quality of our institution. In spite of the budget crisis, Cal State Fullerton is committed to future success – in graduating well-prepared students, generating funds to support the campus, and showcasing the success of our alumni.

Despite the challenges we face, I am confident that the university community will pull together to continue to serve our students and support the regional economy with graduates who are ready to be productive members of the workforce.

Presi dent /View point

It goes without saying

that we need your support now more than ever. While no single solution to the California State University budget crisis provides the answer to the system’s $584 million budget shortfall – the largest deficit in its history – the support of individuals, corporations and foundations will be critical in the months to come.

California State University, Fullerton’s share of this unprecedented shortfall is $38.7 million for 2009-10. We have no choice but to take steps to bring our budget in line with the deficit. A decrease of this size will have serious effects on campus operations and bring fundamental changes to the way we do business. I am working with universitywide advisory groups to address this significant reduction. In the meantime, we are taking the following steps:

Theatre Majors Win National Awards Cal State Fullerton theatre arts majors won two acting awards and a major design prize, presented at the 41st annual Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival in April. It was the first time in the history of the Irene Ryan Scholarship auditions that students from one university won both national titles.

Students Meredith Hinckley and Adam Navarro from CSUF’s Department of Theatre and Dance won the national fellowships. Hinckley was recognized for her work in “The Night of the Iguana” and Navarro won for “As You Like It.” Joseph Holbrook won the Barbizon Award for Theatrical Design Excellence in Scene Design for an on-campus production, “Urinetown the Musical.” The honor has an honorarium and all-expenses-paid trip to New York City for the National Design Portfolio at Lincoln Center.

Hinckley also won the Classical Acting Award of Excellence, which includes a two-week internship at Canada’s prestigious Shaw Festival. Navarro also received a yearlong internship at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, D.C. CSUF student LaTasha Tobias received the O’Neill Institute Internship for the summer.

Susan Hallman, chair and professor of theatre and dance, said the awards given to her students were “a remarkable achievement and testimony to the quality of our students, faculty, staff and institutional support.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2009 Commencement speaker U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Cal State Fullerton President Milton A. Gordon enjoy the crowd May 24 during this year’s Commencement, which included the largest graduating class in university history. CSUF alumnus Jack O’Connell ’73 (B.A. history), state superintendent of public instruction, addressed Cal State Fullerton’s Class of 2009 during the previous day’s ceremony.

Prior to being confirmed as secretary of labor in February, Solis was a four-term congresswoman representing the 32nd District that includes East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley. During her congressional career, Solis championed workers’ rights and was the author of the Green Jobs Act, which funded “green” job training. She received the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in 2000.

Workplace Story by Cathi Douglas ’80

HOW RECENT GRADS ARE BUILDING CAREERS, AND WHY THEY ARE SOUGHT AFTER en Christenson ’00 (B.A. sociology) worked his way through college in restaurants and retail jobs, and then “followed the money” in pursuit of a lucrative career in management at Disneyland, Target and Kohl’s.

But when he and his wife adopted two specialneeds children, it opened Christenson’s eyes to the need for special-education teachers. “I think my calling is to work with people,” he realized, and went back to school at Azusa Pacific University, earning a master’s in education and a special-education teaching credential.

“Special education means a lot less money, but it’s rewarding,” he said. “I love finding ways that kids can be successful. And today I have a Monday-Friday job with summers off ” to spend much-needed quality time with his own children.

Brett Bittel ’80 (B.A. communications) originally pursued a journalism career, but a valued mentor took him aside and gave him different advice that he has always cherished.

“Gary Granville was our adviser to the Daily Titan when I was on staff, and he sat me down at the end of my junior year,” Bittel recalled. “I was burning the candle at both ends, working 30 to 40 hours a week at Ralphs.

His recommendation for me was to stay in business – he believed that’s where my passion lay.”

Granville was right. Today, Bittel is vice president

TITAN M A G. C O M FALL 2009

and general manager of the Southern California group of Enterprise, responsible for 10 percent of the automobile rental company’s operations worldwide. “It’s a challenging, ever-changing marketplace,” Bittel said of his chosen profession. “Enterprise, as a privately held company, is like an extended family. It’s a very special place.”

T.J. Landig ’06 (B.A. American studies, political science) wanted to be a lawyer. But he discovered he had no passion for practicing law.

Instead, he followed one of his childhood dreams.

When he was younger, the budding musician conducted marketing for his own band. As a college student, Landig realized that he really wanted to work in the music business.

He did an internship with Warner Bros. Music Group, where he became known as a “super intern” because of his work ethic and attitude. Now Landig is assistant to the marketing director and works with artists like Taking Back Sunday, the White Stripes and Disturbed.

“Looking back, my CSUF classes were a great preparation for a career,” he said. “Going to college was so important. I owe a lot to Cal State Fullerton.”

Christenson, Bittel and Landig are just a handful of Cal State Fullerton’s more than 200,000 alumni, the majority of whom typically remain in Southern California follow-

ing graduation. Other CSUF grads can be found working in various levels of city, county, state and U.S. government; in engineering, computer science and scientific firms; at Disney and at Coca-Cola. In fact, the list of top employers of Titan grads is so long that, for the university’s 50th anniversary it was impossible to cull the number to just 50, said Jim Case, director of the Career Center, whose current “top employers” list tops 225 companies and organizations.

Titans work in Big Four accounting firms, at Nestle, Boeing, Pacific Life and Mercury Insurance. They work at Kraft Foods, American Airlines and Starbucks. Titans are educators in most of the county’s school districts, as well as at UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Chapman University, UCLA and USC. They work in all kinds of nonprofit agencies, including Children’s Hospital of Orange County, Olive Crest and the Orangewood Children’s Foundation.

“ I just think Titans have a business savvy about them. It’s exciting to be recruiting CSUF students.

”

— Rufus Richardson ’98, Black & Decker

And Titans are hiring Titans in all kinds of careers.

Rufus Richardson ’98 (B.A. business administration-marketing) is a recruiter and a national account executive for Black & Decker. “We’re looking for applicants with an internal competitive drive,” Richardson said. “We’re looking for someone who wants to win.”

From a business/marketing standpoint, he said, “Titans have a head start with us.”

He finds that Titans seem better prepared for the workplace than graduates from other nearby schools.

“I just think Titans have a business savvy about them.

It’s exciting to be recruiting CSUF students.”

Bittel agreed, saying that the more than 150 CSUF grads now employed with Enterprise throughout the country worked hard either in school, at work or both.

“They are very focused, ready to work, and ready to get their hands dirty,” he noted.

Peter Disi ’08 (B.A. business administration-management) is a human-resources consultant for Southern California Edison. Disi believes that quality is what sets Cal State Fullerton students and graduates apart from others. “Students at CSUF work and go to school. They manage their time, and they are dedicated to what they

T.J. Landig, 25, liked the roster of rock stars represented by Warner Bros. Music Group and so pursued an internship with the company.

Today, as assistant to the marketing director, Landig is thrilled to work with bands like The Raconteurs. “I love every artist that I work with,” he said.

do,” Disi said. “They are motivated and analytical; they are great communicators, and they are coachable.”

Ashley Morely and Josilin Torrano hire interns for Nickelodeon Animation Studios. While not Titans themselves, they believe that Cal State Fullerton students understand the Nickelodeon culture, work hard, pay their dues and “they just get it.”

Nickelodeon recruits all across the country, from places like Cal Arts, Parsons, UCLA, USC and Chapman University, but Morely and Torrano say that not only does the company employ more interns from Cal State Fullerton, but they hire more full-timers from Fullerton than any other school.

“We love coming out there for job fairs,” Morely said. “We invest so much in Fullerton, but we get so much back from them.”

The main reason Young & Rubicam Brands, an international advertising agency with offices in Irvine, has an effective relationship with Cal State Fullerton, and hires so many interns, is the outstanding Communications Department and the advertising emphasis, said Christine Hays, director of human resources. “The most successful people we hire are eager, hungry and take the initiative.

Fullerton seems to attract students who are like this.” n

The Banking 6

Crisis: A Time for Introspection Richard K. Davis ’83, Chairman, President and CEO of U.S. Bancorp, Speaks Out 7 oday Richard K. Davis ’83 (B.A. economics) – who has been called one of the nation’s most influential leaders in the financial services industry – is chairman, president and CEO of U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of U.S. Bank. The sixth-largest bank in the country, U.S. Bank has $264 billion in assets and more than 2,500 banking offices in 24 states.

But he remembers growing up in Hacienda Heights in a home where the furniture was covered with plastic. He recalls drying the dishes with threadbare tea towels while a couple of dozen new towels languished on the shelf. These were his Depressionera parents’ thrifty ways of staving off wear and tear on their possessions for as long as possible, sparing the need for extravagant spending.

It’s that kind of thinking and those kinds of values – frugal living and wise choices – that Davis

T

sees as important in today’s uncertain economic times. Whether it is planning for the future with a will or trust, spending money mindfully or investing conservatively, Davis believes that lessons learned from the past should guide the way we think about money now.

“The Depression made a permanent impression upon adults who will be forever careful about their finances,” Davis said in a July interview. “Those lessons were hard, painful and permanent.” These days, even as there are some initial indications the downturn may be bottoming-out, it is increasingly important that individuals, organizations and corporations alike review their assets and liabilities with the goal of ensuring adequate risk and returns.

“Take stock in everything you own, and decide how to protect it,” Davis recommends. “Be a decent money manager. When you make a decision, see the

Davis said that the economic downturn is the perfect time to be thoughtful about financial decisions. “A recession is the very time to consider everything. It’s a time for introspection.”

alternatives. For instance, I could step up to a better house, but under what circumstances? We each should decide our own unique advantage.

“It’s time to be thoughtful about decisions but not afraid to make them. For every issue, there’s an opportunity. Even in a downturn, it’s time to take stock of what you own, check your own risk tolerance. A recession is the very time to consider everything. It’s a time for introspection.”

What Davis calls the ultimate chore in taking stock of one’s finances is thinking about wills and trusts.

“People don’t want to think about it, but planning is important whether it’s for the distant future or goals for vacations and college education.”

Davis predicts that economic recovery will occur very slowly, with permanent recovery trajectories by mid2010. “It’s likely to take two to three years total to get out of the recession,” Davis said. “And I don’t think that we’ll recover back to where we started.”

U.S. Bank officials hope the bank will be a leader in the recovery, which will be possible largely because Davis led the company with prudence and careful TITAN M A G. C O M FALL 2009

methodology throughout the economic boom. “We were routinely criticized for not growing fast enough,” Davis noted. But today, the bank is considered particularly strong. “We’re careful investors, and that has turned out to be the right course. We’ve earned that distinction.”

Not only did U.S. Bank return its $6.6 billion of the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds in June, the bank is launching a multimillion-dollar, national advertising campaign aimed at introducing its strength, stability and legacy to its key constituencies, beginning with investors and critical decision-makers and ultimately rolling out to consumers throughout its markets.

“The headlines are all about companies failing or in distress,” Davis said. “We didn’t fall into distress, and we wanted to protect our depositors. We found the right way to respond appropriately.” The ad campaign, he said, will let consumers know that U.S. Bank is caring for its customers and is a relevant, highly visible partner in the recovery.

“When the future is uncertain, you need leaders,” Davis said. “We need leaders who are not Pollyannas, but

also who are not mired in the morass of the downtrodden. We need courage. As the economy struggles, banks are fulfilling the needs of the people. We are vested with that responsibility.”

Davis, 51, and a resident of Minnesota where U.S. Bank is based, is incoming chair of one of the nation’s most powerful lobbying groups, the Financial Services Roundtable, representing the top 100 U.S. banks, important insurance and investment companies, and more.

“We want people to know that banks are still here to achieve in consumers’ investment future. The industry is capable of being a good steward of consumers’ resources.”

In hindsight, Davis said, the recession was a warning for us all that if things seem to be too good, they probably are. “We as a society need to be more prudent.

The world is more global now, with the influence of others on the American economy much bigger than we thought. It won’t be the strength of other markets that helps us out of this. ”

leaders are less aware of the implications of the global aspect of this recession and the risk of a slower, multicountry recovery as it will impact the United States.

“This current slowdown is unlike many which preceded it in that the worldwide community is suffering from the same economic malaise at the same time,” he said.

Davis attributes his vision today in part to his formative experience at Cal State Fullerton. Enrolled as a night student and working fulltime during the day, Davis gained a keen appreciation for the value of an education. “When you do that, you aren’t in it for fun.

Education’s real. Those are the people I like to hire, the folks who are working all day and in school at 7 p.m.”

In his experience, “I found there was an incredible breadth and depth of educators at Cal State Fullerton.

I will forever be grateful to those amazing people.”

He believes the world is still in the learning stages of the economic decline. “We’re not finished with economic stress for consumers or for business. A real recession is

mired in the morass of the downtrodden.

As the economy struggles, banks are fulfilling the needs of the people.

We are vested with that responsibility.” - Richard Davis ’83 In addition, he said, brokers, bankers and international fund managers did not realize the degree of the connectivity of markets worldwide. “There is a need for better, more comprehensive regulation that’s more deeply ingrained in our economy than we would have thought.”

At the same time, he said, “we are in this with the global community. We’re in a great position to lead with solutions.”

Davis noted that consumers and business leaders make future decisions based upon current circumstances.

“As a result of this prolonged recession, coupled with no strong evidence that it is ending soon, it is reasonable to note that confidence is very low at this stage of the downturn,” he said. “Accordingly, the recovery will likely be delayed [in part] by the ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ theory that we expect the recovery to be slow and lagging.”

It is likely, he said, that consumers and business

under way. We believe it’s time to reevaluate core business needs and adjust for a prolonged economic downturn.”

He worries about the sheer numbers of people who are being hurt in the recession, many of them U.S. Bank customers. “We are doing everything to help them,” he said. “We’re keeping them in their cars, reducing their expenses. By the virtue of what I do, I’m all about helping people achieve their dreams.” n

U.S. Bank is the presenting sponsor and Richard K. Davis is guest speaker at the 2009 Economic Forecast Conference with Anil Puri, dean of the CSUF Mihaylo College of Business and Economics, on October 27 at the Hyatt Regency Irvine from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Saving for a Rainy Day

10

Mark Hoven Stohs, professor of finance

Over the past 35 years, the personal saving (the portion of personal income that is not spent on current consumption but that is instead used to provide funds to capital markets or invested in real assets such as residences) rate has ranged from a high of 11.2 percent in 1982, to a low of close to zero percent during the first quarter of 2008. Note the recent uptick in the personal saving rate:

TITAN M A G. C O M FALL 2009

While the impact on funding investment in capital markets and real estate is important, as is the related issue of your personal indebtedness, let’s put those aside for now.

Let’s just focus on personal savings.

People save to prepare for the future – for retirement and for rainy days. Since we expect or hope to receive Social Security upon retirement, and since housing values skyrocketed from 1997–2007 (and the wealth in our homes also contributes to our retirement savings), it is rather easy to guess why the savings rate fell during the 35-year period, and even why it was at a low in early 2008. It also is rather easy to understand why people have started saving again: They are more anxious about their future retirement plans, and their home values (equity) are plummeting. In addition, since we have had many rainy days in the past year or so, those rainy day funds need to be replenished. Let’s consider both the long-term (retirement) and the short-term (rainy day fund).

Many retirement planners would recommend having anywhere from 10 to 25 times your current household income as a nest egg. With the median annual household income at about $50,000, you should have about $1 million by the time you plan to retire, which would then provide you with an annual income of $40,000 to 50,000/year in retirement (4 to 5 percent of the total annually). But you can subtract your Social Security income equivalent and the equity in your home from that amount. If you expect to receive $25,000 per year from Social Security, then you only need half a million, and if you expect your home to be worth $500,000 in retirement, then you don’t have to save anything (which may explain the near zero percent personal saving rate in recent years). Even though I am being generous in both Social Security payments and in real estate equity, perhaps we are better at planning than we thought!

Home equity, Social Security payments and our nest eggs are intrinsically related. The more of any one of them, the more wealth we have in retirement. Since home equity

has been ravaged and we are becoming more anxious about Social Security, people are saving more. That makes sense.

But what about my situation, you ask? How can I weather the most severe recession since the Great Depression? If you are the average person, you are acting rationally – you are saving more. While some of us have already had rainy days (with the unemployment rate at about 10 percent), they are about to begin for others. And you are taking action. By not spending your current income, you are more able to pay those inevitable bills and even to weather the possibility that a spouse is layed off.

There is one additional exercise you should complete, namely to track your take-home income and all of your expenses, even to the penny, for three to six months. Your expenses should include all of your monthly debt payments (and other regular monthly payments). You may well be spending money that could be saved for that rainy day.

Once you have your budget information, you can then review your habits. For example, do you really need those two bottles of water every day? At 50 cents for a 12-ounce bottle, that is about $5 per gallon – 100 times what we pay in Fullerton (tap water costs about 5 cents per gallon, and we receive quality reports every year). Add in the daily Starbucks drink; soft drinks; monthly cell phone, PDA, Internet and telephone bills and you get the idea. Without writing down all of these daily/monthly costs (in Excel or on paper), you won’t be able to visualize your habits – and your habits can get you into trouble or provide you with a cushion. If you believe that you or your spouse may be without a job for several months or longer, then begin reviewing your budget now!

The Economy’s Impact on Taxes Kathleen K. Wright, professor of accounting

To get the economy going again, taxpayers have benefited from one major tax bill at the federal level (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 [ARRA]) and lost most of that benefit through tax increases included in the California budget. n ARRA

1. Making Work Pay credit. Eligible individuals are given a refundable income tax credit for 2009 and 2010, which is equal to the lesser of 6.2 percent of an individual’s earned income or $800 for married taxpayers. Income phase-outs apply. 2. New car deduction. Eligible purchasers of new vehicles can deduct state and local sales taxes. The deduction is claimed on the first $49,500 and income phase-outs apply.

3. First-time homebuyer credit. An $8,000 credit is available to eligible first-time homebuyers for 2009. This credit does not have to be repaid. Income phase-outs also apply.

4. Enhanced $2,500 education credit. 5. Expanded child tax credit. 6. Tax-free distributions from qualified tuition plans for computers. 7. Depreciation incentives and extended net operating loss carry-backs for businesses. n California Budget

To cover California’s expanding deficit, the first budget for 2009/10 included multiple tax increases. That was not enough, and the 2009/10 budget was short by an estimated $24 billion.

Message from Board President Verne Wagner Dear Titan Community, The Alumni Association would like to thank the alumni, friends, parents and students of Cal State Fullerton.

Why? There are many reasons you deserve thanks, but I reserve this recognition for the past support you’ve provided our university. Maybe it was a gift to the annual fund; a donation to scholarships; you might be a regular attendee of Front & Center; or perhaps you participate in one of the many Alumni Association events and chapter programs. The gift of your time, talent and financial support has helped us become a distinguished university.

We have all been impacted by these challenging economic times. Though we have some tough storms to weather, it is comforting to know that Cal State Fullerton has a community of more than 200,000 alumni who have great Titan Pride and a deep commitment to the well-being of our university.

So my message as board president is simple. Keep it up! Reflect upon all the ways Cal State Fullerton has positively influenced your life. Think of your personal story as a college student – the challenges, the opportunities and the celebrations along your journey, and find a way to support programs and services that will help contribute to the student experience today.

Some of you may not be in the same “place” you were last year, but everything you do for the university is important. None of us can rely on the next person to step in – we all need to do our part. Do what you can – just do something. Mentor a student, attend a basketball game or give to a scholarship program. Your continued support will help keep Titan Pride alive, provide current students with the college experience they deserve, and offer you continued meaningful experiences with your alma mater. Go Titans!

Alumni Association Launches Student Alumni Ambassador Program Student outreach efforts for the fall semester began with a new Student Alumni Ambassadors group. The purpose of the Ambassadors will be to promote, foster and create mutually beneficial relationships among Cal State Fullerton students, alumni, faculty, staff, prospective students and the campus community.

Members of the group will have the opportunity to gain leadership and networking skills, develop personal working relationships with the Alumni Association Board of Directors, participate in association-sponsored events, host student events and serve as founding members of this flagship organization. These ambassadors will help bridge the gap between our current students and Titan alumni by developing a tradition of involvement.

Fran Inman ’76, ’81 (B.A. business administration-finance, M.B.A.) has made history by becoming only the third female chair of the board in the 120-history of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.

But Inman is used to standing out in a crowd.

The North Tustin resident is senior vice president of corporate development for Majestic Realty Co., one of the nation’s leading real estate developers.

“Building on my experience working with businesses and communities, I now have a unique opportunity as chair of the region’s largest business organization to bring key stakeholders together to help lead the region during very difficult economic times,” Inman said. “I’m honored to be in a position to help Southern California during this historic period in our nation’s economy.”

The chamber’s 2009 Inaugural Dinner and the recent Southern California on the Hill – Access to Washington, D.C. advocacy trip were the highest-attended events in the chamber’s history. Inman also launched the chamber’s Accelerate Recovery initiative to encourage business growth, job creation and economic recovery.

“Creating jobs is our No. 1 priority,” Inman said. The latest unemployment figures show that nearly 12 percent of Californians are out of work or underemployed.

“The road to recovery must start with jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Inman is the right person at the right time to lead the chamber and help ensure that the current economic crisis does not become tomorrow’s missed opportunity, said Gary Toebben, president and CEO of the L.A. Chamber. “Fran understands that in order to achieve full prosperity for those who live and work in our region, we must create an environment that is hospitable to business, particularly in today’s challenging economic climate.”

A native of Fullerton, Inman’s first job was at Knott’s Berry Farm, and she credits that early training in the hospitality industry as one of the best foundations upon which to build a career. A non-traditional student, Inman completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees while working and having a family.

“I was determined to get my degrees, and Cal State Fullerton offered me the opportunity to multitask,” Inman said. “It took a while, but what I really gained was the advantage of putting what I learned academically to use in the real world instantaneously.” n CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FULLERTON

Bessie M. Rutemiller, emerita librarian, died April 24 of a cerebral hemorrhage. Rutemiller served the university from 1966 to 1982. She is survived by her husband, Herbert C. Rutemiller, emeritus professor of management science.

Corrine Shear Wood, a pioneering medical anthropologist, died May 25.

She was 84. Widely recognized for her research on malaria, leprosy in Pakistan and women’s issues internationally, Wood had been battling Alzheimer’s disease for nine years. She is survived by her children, Carl, Roberta, David and Gina Wood; her sister Rochelle Levin; and 10 grandchildren.

Poet Michael Shorb ’66, ’70 (B.A., M.A. English) discovered his literary voice when he returned to Cal State Fullerton to earn his master’s degree. Shorb had been enrolled for three quarters in UC Irvine’s graduate writing program, but decided that he wanted to write about the real world rather than the scholarly one. He switched to CSUF, where the emphasis was more practical.

After earning his master’s degree in English in 1970, Shorb moved to North Beach in San Francisco and began reading poetry in public at a time when it was a popular, yet fairly tough, activity.

“To get in front of inebriated people who are not shy about letting you know if you’re not that good can be pretty hard,” he said. “I was able to hold my own, and I knew then that I could write poetry.”

In 2008, Shorb published 39 poems and seven anthologies. They include war stories, environmental poems and lyrical poems. In total, his work has appeared in more than 100 magazines and anthologies, including The Nation, Audience and Michigan Quarterly Review.

“I try not to fall into a trap where I define myself,” he said.

“Some poets write something that ends up defining them and they spend part of their entire lives on it. You’ve got to keep it loose, keep it open.”

While studying at Cal State Fullerton, Shorb was one of two columnists who authored a left wing-versus-right wing column for the Daily Titan.

“I liked my professors quite a bit,” he recalled. “I never emphasized writing.

I was just a regular English student. I loved dealing with poetry and mythology.”

He was active off campus, writing anti-Vietnam war poems and participating in protests. His most recent anti-war poetry can be viewed at www.ravingdove.org .

In addition to his prolific work as a poet, Shorb was a writer and editor in the online information services industry for nearly 15 years. He’s also interested in writing children’s stories and poems. He lives in San Francisco with Judith, his wife of 34 years. n

Giving the

tradition

“The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.” - Pierre Corneille

Young Alumna Graduated from Student to Donor Jeanette Alvarez, just 23 years old, understands the value of her degree and the rewards of giving back.

The first one of her family to go to college, Alvarez graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communications with a concentration in public relations. When she talks about her alma mater, she is all smiles. “I love Cal State Fullerton. I made a lot of friends, and my professors helped me to discover what the future could bring to me.

It was a great experience.”

Like many Cal State Fullerton students, Alvarez worked while attending college.

An employee of Kohl’s department stores, she is currently an area supervisor. Ambitious and bright, Alvarez wants to work her way up the Kohl’s corporate ladder with a job in public relations – or maybe there’s something else in her future. “I’m thinking about going to graduate school and getting a master’s degree in either communications or ethnic studies. I’m open to all possibilities.”

Immediately upon graduating, she joined the Alumni Association. Shortly after, she received a call from Cal State Fullerton asking for her support. “I didn’t hesitate.

I really wanted to get an education, and I know how hard it can be for others to do the same.” Asked if she would continue to support Cal State Fullerton, she said, “Yes, definitely. I appreciate everything that was available to me. I want future students to have the same opportunities.”

Young Alumna Graduated from Student to Donor

Jeanette Alvarez ’09 joined the Cal State Fullerton Alumni Association immediately upon her graduation, and didn’t hesitate when asked to give to the Annual Fund. “I really wanted to get an education, and I know how hard it can be for others to do the same.”

ike many Titan alumni, I have watched with swelling pride as Cal State Fullerton has developed into a university of global prominence. Whether it is a student winning a Fulbright Scholarship, the national success of our top-ranked baseball team, the creative efforts of our award-winning performing arts students in each autumn’s Concert Under the Stars, or the growing diversity of our student body, it seems that our alma mater continues to strive toward excellence. Indeed, our university continues to succeed in making a mark: n Cal State Fullerton is ranked sixth in the nation and second in California for the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded to Hispanic students.

The figures were reported in a recent issue of Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education’s “Top 100.” n Cal State Fullerton theatre arts majors won two acting awards and a major design prize, presented at the 41st annual Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival in April. It was the first time in the history of the Irene Ryan Scholarship auditions that students from one university won both national titles. n Design and construction are under way on a number of important university projects, including a new 1,064-bed, dormitory-style residence hall and a 1,500-space, six-level parking structure in the campus’s southeast corner.

Also under way are a 15,317-square-foot Children’s Center, including extensive play areas, and a new 10,470-square-foot, state-of-the-art police facility on State College Boulevard just north of the Golleher Alumni House, which will double the department’s space. n We recently celebrated the university’s first-ever endowed chair, the Rick Muth Chair in Family Business, with Thomas V. Schwarz of the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics receiving the title.

The dynamic progress of Cal State Fullerton would not be possible without the generosity of people like you. We are thankful for the charitable support of the alumni, students, parents and friends who volunteer their time, treasure and talents to the university. In fact, even as Cal State Fullerton remains committed to quality, there is a heightened reliance upon not only volunteerism, but also individual, corporate, foundation and other financial support.

This promises to be a challenging year, as we experience reduced funding, cutbacks in classes and services, and the lingering recession. So now more than ever before, you make a difference in the lives of our students. On behalf of the entire Titan community, I thank you for your continued support.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING & DONOR HONOR ROLL 08-09 s Cal State Fullerton students head into a new academic year, I’m delighted as an alumna of the university to have the opportunity to give back to the institution that has given so much to me.

Thank you, too, for your dedication and commitment to the university, particularly in this time of financial hardship. Because of the dedication of my professors, the caring of our staff members and the support of the alumni community, I believe that my years at Cal State Fullerton prepared me for success in the marketplace. I know that you also share that feeling of loyalty to our university.

Today, as chair of the Cal State Fullerton Philanthropic Foundation, I’m pleased to note that the foundation is involved in strategic planning aimed at helping guide the university’s fundraising efforts and managing its donated funds.

The foundation’s vision for the future is far-reaching. We believe that there is a great need to raise private capital in support of the premier university in Orange County and Southern California. Our planning will help the foundation recruit new leadership and align its efforts with future projects and needs.

We kicked off the foundation’s planning work at a February 12 event, and since then have adopted a road map of eight themes, each of them outlining a strategic area for development. The themes address acquisition of land and facilities; ongoing efforts in infrastructure improvements; leveraging government funding opportunities; community engagement; student and alumni participation; building degree and brand equity; growth in the next 50 years; and the possible development of a university district – a distinctive neighborhood of retail shops, dining establishments and residential areas – in Fullerton.

With your help and the continued generosity and commitment from individuals, corporations and foundations, we were able to attain a groundbreaking achievement in fundraising this year: Well over $14 million in cash gifts and pledge payments were made to the university, reaching an all-time high. We are concerned, though, about our ability to continue to achieve these kinds of results in light of the challenging economic environment and the uncertain future of higher education in California.

I urge you to continue to contribute to the university – through your generous financial donations, volunteer efforts on behalf of various colleges, departments or programs, or participation in universitywide events – so that Cal State Fullerton remains successful in the years to come.

Thank you for all you do to make Cal State Fullerton a global leader,

A

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING & DONOR HONOR ROLL 08-09

Visionary professor left a legacy of caring and commitment he late J. William (Bill) Maxwell was the founding chair of Cal State Fullerton’s Communications Department. Maxwell also was a visionary, a man of extraordinary generosity, and an exceptional educator. He joined the faculty in 1960 shortly after classes began on the newly established Orange County State College campus.

Maxwell served as head of the Communications Department for 13 years and continued to teach courses on campus until 1982.

When he stepped down as chair, the communications program had more than 600 students, including 80 graduate students and 19 faculty members. Today, the college has more than 2,800 students and 46 faculty members. Rick Pullen, current dean of the College of Communications, recalled: “Bill was greatly respected by all those who worked with him. He was a true visionary in that he established a Communications Department that embraced more than just journalism – which just Dr. J. William Maxwell watched over the burgeoning growth happened to be Bill’s great of the Communications Department from its inception until passion and love.” the 1980s.

Maxwell maintained close ties with Cal State Fullerton throughout his life and remained particularly committed to the progress of the College of Communications. Upon his passing, his estate provided a significant gift to the college, which was divided into two parts: one part to fund an endowment for scholarships in the name of his parents, and the other used to strengthen the overall learning environment.

Carolyn Johnson, communications professor emerita, friend and executor of Maxwell’s estate said: “His heart was always with his students, and his incredible legacy proves just how much he cared about them.”

The Kresge Foundation’s challenge grant helped complete Steven G. Mihaylo Hall, home to the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics.

The Kresge Foundation builds infrastructure – and futures he Kresge Foundation is a $3.1-billion private foundation that seeks to enhance the quality of life for future generations through its support of nonprofit organizations nationwide. In 1924, Kmart founder Sebastian Spering Kresge established the foundation that bears his name for the “promotion of human progress.” For more than 80 years, this mandate continues to be realized, primarily through the support of fundraising campaigns to build capital projects – libraries, hospitals, schools, museums, community centers and the like – that have contributed to the creation of our nation’s nonprofit infrastructure.

In 2007, the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics was awarded a Kresge Foundation challenge grant to help complete Steven G. Mihaylo Hall, which provides much-needed space for 8,500 students, 250 faculty and 50 staff. In August 2008, the college met Kresge’s challenge to raise the remainder of the $12 million private fundraising goal.

Caroline Altman Smith, program officer at Kresge, remarked: “We supported Cal State Fullerton because it educates thousands of Californians, including many low-income students and students of color. We also were impressed with the important role that the university plays in California’s postsecondary education pipeline as demonstrated by the fact that approximately half of the student body transfer to the university from community colleges.”

The iconic building opened in August 2008, and “has enabled us to provide a world-class business education in an optimal learning environment for our students,” said Anil Puri, dean of the college.

There’s no debate about his commitment to CSUF seasoned trial lawyer, Terry Giles ’70 (B.A. communications) makes a convincing argument for supporting Cal State Fullerton. “My experience at the university is significant for a lot of reasons. While I was involved in school politics, baseball and a fraternity, the most important reason, by far, was my participation on the debate team. I sincerely believe it’s why I’m a success.”

After leaving Cal State Fullerton, Giles earned his juris doctorate from Pepperdine University School of Law in 1974. A year later, he founded and built his law firm in California and successfully handled hundreds of civil and criminal cases. He also enjoyed a rewarding business career, including ownership of more than 30 companies. Now based in Houston, Texas, Giles is retired from the courtroom, but still pursues numerous Terry Giles, here with his wife Kalli, has given generously to business interests. the university’s debate team and to the Center for Leadership His support of the Development. debate team has been long and generous. “I want to give others the benefit of the education that I received. Debating helps you organize your thoughts and to think faster. Lucy Keele, the director of debate at CSUF at the time, was absolutely instrumental in helping me to develop these skills.”

A true university citizen, Giles, and his wife Kalli also made a significant contribution to the Center for Leadership Development at the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics and continue to support the College of Communications.

“I feel really good about our involvement with Cal State Fullerton. I hope our help allows students to advance their careers.”

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING & DONOR HONOR ROLL 08-09

Rebecca Vance was moved to make a gift to Titan baseball in honor of Jon Wilhite, a former player severely injured in a tragic accident.

The game is on her mind; the players are in her heart ebecca Vance has one tough job: She is not only a student studying math and geology at Cal State Fullerton, but also a single mom of two sons – a 3-year-old and a 4-year-old. She’s a big fan of the Angels, and her sons are already playing T-ball, an entry sport to baseball and softball for young players.

Like all of the university community, she was shocked when she heard about the tragic automobile accident in April that took the lives of Angels’ pitcher Nick Adenhart, law school student Henry Nigel Pearson and CSUF communications major Courtney Stewart, and severely injured CSUF alumnus Jon Wilhite. “Jon went to my school, so I felt connected to him because of that,” she said. “I felt so bad for him, that I just wanted to honor him in some way.”

Vance wished to make a donation directly to Cal State Fullerton in Jon’s name.

Since CSUF did not have a donation fund set up to directly benefit Jon (this could only be done through a trust fund set up by his family), she decided to make a gift to Titan baseball in honor of him. She also shared that she would like to make a gift to the philanthropy identified by Courtney Stewart’s family.

“I didn’t know Jon or Courtney, but I was so moved that something like this happened at my college. I just felt like I had to do something,” she said. “I hope the money helps someone who can’t afford to go to college, or perhaps it can help fix something that needs repair.”

Retired assemblywoman can teach us a lot about giving arilyn Brewer has an impressive resume: wife, mother, grandmother, state assemblywoman (1994-00), business owner, talk-show host, parent of one Cal State Fullerton alumnus and grandparent of another, and longtime supporter of the College of Education.

Brewer’s involvement with the college began more than 20 years ago though a friendship with Carol Barnes, professor emerita of elementary and bilingual education. At a luncheon, Barnes was talking about the need for scholarship funds for re-entry teaching credential students, mostly female, who could not afford to go to college. At the time, the amount needed for a scholarship was $2,500, and Brewer said quickly, “I can do that.” Thus, the Brewer Scholarship was born. Her commitment to teacher education continues to this day. “It’s a reasonable amount,” she said. “I believe there are other people in the community who could support a named scholarship such as this one.”

A woman of imagination and initiative, Brewer heard Marilyn Brewer, who aspired to be a teacher herself, founded that a former Brewer Scholar the Brewer Scholarship and the Brewer Legacy Scholarship wanted to go on for a master’s for future teachers. degree, but was struggling with finances. So, last year, she established the Brewer Legacy Scholarship, which supports former Brewer Scholars or family members who are pursuing either undergraduate or graduate degrees. “I thought about it as a reunion of the scholars,” said Brewer, “and it just seemed like the thing to do.”

Brewer’s charitable choice is based in her own experience. “My first ambition was to be a teacher, and I was a re-entry student myself, so I know what it’s like to go back.

Teachers change kids’ lives. They deserve our support.”

With their help, the arts and the arboretum are blossoming ogether and as individuals, Doug and Ann Myles are helping Cal State Fullerton grow and thrive.

Doug is a man of many talents: an entrepreneur, business park developer and a recently retired volunteer fundraiser for the Fullerton Arboretum. “I did a lot of hiking in the eastern Sierra Nevada, western Mojave Desert and the Channel Islands, where I developed an appreciation for California wildflowers and native plants.

The arboretum is a special place to experience some of this beauty.” He started the Chaparral Society, a donor group, to raise much-needed money to improve existing gardens and to build new gardens, the first of which were the Channel Islands and the Mojave Desert gardens, now under construction.

Ann has been an active volunteer in several Fullerton Volunteers and donors Ann and Doug Myles have made gifts to cultural groups. Ann’s Cal State the Fullerton Arboretum and the CSUF arts for nearly 40 years.

Fullerton involvement began in the early ’70s, when she joined the Music Associates board. As a former elementary school teacher, she recognized the importance of a strong arts program in the schools. “The study of music helps students in many ways, math, for example.” Her introduction to the university, however, was in the early ’60s when she took a course in the visual arts to qualify for a California teaching credential.

Doug and Ann were early leaders in the Performing Arts Center campaign and have consistently supported music through the Music Associates, MAMM Alliance and the Visiting Artists program. They also support the “art” of nature displayed every day at the arboretum. “Doug and I like to get people involved in order that they may better enjoy what is offered here,” said Ann. “Time and talent are necessary forms of contribution,” said Doug, “but financial support is also needed to make a difference.”

Dr. Glenn Nagel helped establish the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department during his 24 years with the university.

Chemistry was more than a science for this professor he late Glenn Nagel, professor emeritus of chemistry and biochemistry, had a deep interest in his field and a talent for spreading his enthusiasm. During his 24-year tenure with Cal State Fullerton, he helped establish the university’s Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. He served as department chair before becoming associate dean of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. In 1987, he was honored with Cal State Fullerton’s Outstanding Professor Award. His contributions to teaching, science and student research were evidenced by the major National Science Foundation grants he garnered, his collaborative work with colleagues and his efforts to involve undergraduate students in research.

Nagel believed that science was part of a larger life experience. According to his wife Greta, “Glenn said that wine and beer-making were great chemistry,” and was known to enjoy wine-tasting and Mozart. Nagel also gave to the university, supporting his department through regular donations. In 1996, he retired from Cal State Fullerton, but not from higher education, becoming dean of Cal State Long Beach’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.

When Nagel passed away in 2003, the Glenn Nagel Fullerton Undergraduate Research Fund was established in his honor. Through donations from his family, his colleagues and many others, the fund provides support for undergraduate research activities. Said Greta, “Glenn wanted to ensure that the knowledge base of his field was kept alive. He wanted to share his profession and his passion with his students.”

The Karcher Foundation serves a helping of food history arl N. Karcher (1917-2008) and his wife Margaret (1915-2006), founders of CKE Restaurants and its flagship Carl’s Jr. restaurant chain, began their legendary business with a hot dog cart in 1941. Located on the corner of Florence and Central in Los Angeles, the business took in $14.75 on its first day. In fiscal year 2007, CKE Restaurants brought in more than $1.5 billion – making it the quintessential American success story.

As Orange County grew and transformed, so did Carl’s Jr., becoming a symbol of the changing culture of Southern California. In an effort to preserve the history of the food industry in Orange County, the Karcher Foundation has provided $50,000 to establish the Karcher Family/Southern California Food Visionaries and Culture Project, which will explore the lives, politics and economics of Orange County’s most notable food families. In addition, the project will help explain a period of transformation: Between the The late Carl and Margaret Karcher, shown here on their 65th 1940s and today, Orange Counwedding anniversary, began their legendary business with a ty evolved from a rural area to a hot dog cart in 1941. complex and culturally rich region. Initially, the university’s Center for Oral and Public History will conduct a series of oral histories with members of the Karcher family, business associates and employees of early Carl’s Jr. restaurants and Carl Karcher Enterprises.

“The quick-service restaurant business started in Southern California,” says Barbara Karcher Wall ’96 (B.A. human services) daughter of Carl and Margaret. “We want to explore why the food visionaries were here in the early days, and we also want to preserve the history of the food industry in Orange County – the people, the politics, and the culture that grew with it.”

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation supports tomorrow’s nursing leaders today obert Wood Johnson devoted his life to public service and to building the small, but innovative family firm of Johnson & Johnson into the world’s finest health and medical care products company. Johnson left his fortune to the foundation that bears his name.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s efforts focus on improving both the health of everyone in America and their health care – how it’s delivered, how it’s paid for, and how well it does for patients and their families.

In line with their mission, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing launched a national initiative, the RWJF New Careers in Nursing. “New Careers in Nursing aims to safeguard the health of the nation by helping to ease the nurse and nurse faculty shortage,” said RWJF Senior Adviser for Nursing Susan B. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provides scholarships Hassmiller, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N. to nursing students from both underrepresented and finan“This important initiative will also cially disadvantaged groups. advance the foundation’s strategic goal of promoting a health professional workforce that reflects the diversity of the American public.”

Cal State Fullerton’s Department of Nursing received a generous $200,000 grant from the foundation to establish its own New Careers in Nursing scholarship program titled “Supporting Tomorrow’s Nursing Leaders.” This gift will provide 20 scholarships of $10,000 each to nursing students from groups underrepresented in nursing or from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Said Dr. Mary Wickman, director of CSUF’s pre-licensure RN Program: “We are delighted to be awarded the grant. The scholarship funds will allow students, many of whom have families and financial obligations, to concentrate on their studies during these challenging times.”
