A
final good bye and good luck
Dear 49ers:
Congratulations
to the newest alumni of Cal State Long Beach. I have been
so impressed with the level of commitment and dedication that
you have given to your classes these past few years. This
is, indeed, a special day in the life of the university.
I wish to welcome all the families to the beauty of our campus
and to the celebration of this special day. The degrees of
the new graduates today belong to each family member here
and at home who have helped their 49ers earn this prestigious
academic honor.
We're going to miss our graduates who have brought their dreams
and enthusiasm to enhance the energy and spirit of campus
life. I hope that our newest alumni will stay in touch. I
encourage them to fully utilize all the opportunities and
programs that are afforded year round here at The Beach. Please
continue to attend as often as possible the arts and sports
events sponsored by your alma mater.
Long Beach State is a very good university and I know that
the education you received here will bring you abundant dividends
throughout your lifetime. I know, too, that you will continue
to enjoy the many friendships and connections that have begun
here and that will support you for decades to come.
I hope that most of you will have the opportunity to attend
a benefit concert sponsored by our social work alumni on Friday,
which celebrates spring as the graduating season. This musical
concert will benefit the Long Beach Mental Health Clinic and
other nonprofit agencies that provide emergency food and medication
to low-income senior citizens.
Graduates, I want you to remain passionate about your university.
I want you to be an advocate for your university. I want you
to be a spokesperson for your university. And, above all,
I want you to always protect your university.
Go BEACH!
