| Hometown - Lake Elsinore, CA Major - Criminology & Criminal Justice Fun Fact - I'm the youngest of 8! Bio - Hello, I'm a third year Criminal Justice major with a minor in Forensic Science. I'm a proud member of the Honors Program, where I challenge myself academically and contribute to a community of motivated students. Beyond the classroom, I support first-year first-generation students as they adjust to college life as a Genexcel Peer Mentor. I'm also the Social Media Administrator for the Criminal Justice Student Association, where I help promote events and share resources with other students. This year I have also experienced being a Resident Assistant interacting with residents to provide a healthy and welcoming living space. I hope to inspire peers, foster a sense of community, and develop as a leader both on and off campus through these roles. I have a passion for the criminal justice system and hope to grow both professionally and personally throughout my academic career. |

Throughout my academic journey, I'm glad to say that I've grown in many areas, specifically when it comes to becoming more outgoing and developing skills that help me talk to others. Aside of being a part of these wonderful programs, I am involved in outside hobbies such as shopping, going to the beach, weightlifting/fitness, and listening to music!

Nelson Lewandowski Image
| Hometown – Long Beach Fun Fact – I have a deep love for K-Pop, Brazillain Jiu-Jitsu, Muay-Thai and the great outdoors. Bio – Hello there! My name is Nelson and I am a senior at California State University, Long Beach. I am scheduled to graduate in the Fall semester of 2026. This campus is a second home to me. I spend more time at the campus than I do at home, so the people I encounter feel like a whole separate family. Since the beginning of my transfer, I have served as a public speaking consultant for the Hauth Center, and university representative through the Presidents Ambassador program. I have grown so much during my time here at The Beach. Truthfully, I owe it to the CSULB community for shaping me into the man I am today. Additionally, I work as a cleanup associate for In-N-Out Burger to make ends meet. I look for opportunities to challenge myself, in efforts to exchange comfort for growth. Like climbing Mt. San Gorgonio, it begins with a single step. I’m just glad I packed moleskin. |

In addition, I am a President’s Scholar and a class representative for my scholarship cohort. I genuinely enjoy being involved on campus because these roles allow me to advocate for student voices and contribute to meaningful change. As I plan to pursue a career in law, these experiences have helped me strengthen my leadership and advocacy skills. Outside of campus, I am an Evolve Fellow at LA-Tech, a fellowship that supports first-generation students by providing real-world business exposure, professional development workshops, mentorship, and networking opportunities that bridge the gap between academic learning and practical experience. |

Tehami Syed Image
| Hometown - Porter Ranch Bio - Hello everyone! My name is Tehami, I'm a Junior at California State University, Long Beach. I'm going to graduate in Spring 2027 with a double major in Operations and Supply Chain Management and Business Management. I’ve held several leadership roles here at the Beach, and currently serve as the Vice President for the Management Society known as SAM. Last academic year we were ranked by the Student Life and Development office as the #1 student-led organization on campus, so this year I am trying to carry that forward. The Beach has been an environment where staff, students, and industry have worked together to culminate excellence among the student body. I have to give credit where credit is due so shout out to the SAM team and Dr. Hasan Ashraf for their hard work in fostering an environment of progress, research, and industry involvement. |
