Senior Profiles

From meeting outstanding alumni from both organizations, to being able to travel and represent the school, setting school records with my team and furthering my education, CSULB has been an amazing place for me to grow in all aspects of my life.

Besides making great memories with some of my closest friends (& roommates), the highlight of my experience has been taking the position of Editor-in-Chief for DÍG en Español.

DeLane Magee is a first-generation Engineering student and is a mentee in the Beach Nexus Spring Mentor Program.  

Christopher Edgar Desierto Padron is a FEA Narrative Production – Production & Directing major, and serves as the ASI Senator for the College of the Arts  

Gloria Hernandez is a Recreational Therapy Fall 2021 grad, and is part of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the EOP program.

A couple of years after immigrating to the United States from the Philippines, I would pass by LBSU on 7th street and tell myself, “I’m gonna go to college here.” 

I transferred into CSULB in Spring 2020 and was only on campus for about two months until having to transition online. So I did not get a full Beach experience, but overall it was great. 

I am so grateful for the education, experiences, and opportunities CSULB gives to their students. I know that my life’s trajectory is on a great path because of attending CSULB.
