President welcomes students
Dear 49ers,
Welcome to The Beach!
For those of you
joining our campus for the first time, I wish to congratulate you for selecting
Cal State Long Beach as your university. This is a wonderfully exciting
campus of about 30,000 students, and I know you are going to love it here.
During my daily walks around the campus, I would be delighted if you would
take a moment to introduce yourself.
I hope all of you
had a great summer and are looking forward to the new academic year. We
are thrilled that CSULB is your university of choice.
More than 300 California
valedictorians and National Merit scholars are studying on this campus
as President's Scholars. More than 95 percent of this fall's freshmen are
full-time students. Our residence halls are filled to capacity, with more
than 400 students on the waiting list.
During your free
time, I hope you will take the time to learn about our campus. One fun
way to do this is to take advantage of the artistic and athletic events
offered throughout the academic year.
During the next couple
of months, several intercollegiate events are scheduled, including events
for women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's golf, men's water polo, cross
country and women's golf. I attend all of these competitions and hope to
meet you at one of these venues on campus.
I would also encourage
you to participate in the wonderful activities scheduled in the University
Student Union.
I am proud to serve
as your president and know that you will be very proud of the education
and the life-long friendships that will begin at The Beach. The faculty
and staff want to ensure that you enjoy your university experience, and
they will work hard to help you achieve success in your academic goals.
Have a great fall
semester, and ...
Go Beach! |
