COTA Distinguished Alumni

Since 1984, at the end of each academic year, CSULB has invited its colleges to name a single, outstanding former graduate to be recognized as that year's Distinguished Alumnus. We couldn't be prouder of the men and women who have been named Distinguished Alumni from the CSULB College of the Arts, and we look forward each year to the difficult but rewarding task of choosing a new member to this impressive group.
