Maxson looks forward

For me, it has been a busy yet enriching academic year. It is my sense that one of the key reasons Cal State Long Beach has prospered so much this year is because of your commitment to hard work and the absolute integrity of doing what is right.

The ever-increasing quality of our students has raised the profile of the university within the region and continues to bring for all of us enthusiastic recognition throughout the state.

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season. And good luck on all your final exams. I look forward to seeing you next semester and to continue working with the Daily Forty-Niner. I appreciate all the fine writers of the Forty-Niner, and especially the editors for allowing me to share this space.

My sincere holiday wish is for all of you to have a safe and relaxing winter recess with your family and friends.
