that have taken place and partnerships that have formed.
During the fall semester, the College of Business Administration and
Public Policy 2010 Awards Luncheon was a record-breaking success in both
attendance and funds raised. We cut the ribbon on a state-of-the-art clinical
skills lab, the first such facility on campus in the nursing program’s 30-year
history. The Multicultural Center unveiled “Manifest Diversity,” a large-scale
mural created by students under the guidance of nationally recognized Los

Angeles muralist Eliseo Art Silva. We also welcomed actress/comedienne
Niecy Nash to campus for the 50th Anniversary Speaker Series: An Evening
with Niecy Nash. She shared stories from her time on campus and early escapades in show business, and had the audience laughing out loud!
In this issue’s Annual Donor Honor Roll, we pay tribute to friends
of CSU Dominguez Hills who have given very generously to support the
university and its educational mission. Now more than ever, our students and
their families are concerned about paying for college. There is much good
that comes with giving back to those who are facing rising costs and more
financial challenges than students had to face in prior decades. We invite you
to read stories in this issue about the impact of giving and contact us to learn
more about ways that you can contribute. Be a part of our success!
We not only celebrate our donors, but are also amazed by the many gifts of
art received this year that are helping to transform our university into a premier
cultural center for the South Bay. We are very proud of our campus art, archi-

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary
of CSU Dominguez Hills
California State University, Dominguez Hills continues to mark its 50th anniversary, celebrating five decades of academic scholarship and opportunity, achievements in preparing well-educated
and productive citizens and leaders, and engaging with community partners for the benefit of the South Bay
region. The 18-month-long celebration began in January 2010 with the launch of a special speaker series and will
conclude with the 2011 Commencement in May.

of the College of Business

CBAPP Awards Luncheon.
CBAPP Luncheon Celebrates Scholarships, Community Partners
T
he College of Business Admin-
istration and Public Policy (CBAPP)
hosted its Fourth Annual Awards
Luncheon on Nov. 4, bringing
together nearly 400 students, faculty,
and members of the local business
community. The college’s main fundraiser, the event raised approximately
$54,000, the largest amount since
the luncheon’s inception in 2007. In
addition, three Paragon Sponsors
joined the roll call of donors. Club
Deportivo Chivas USA, Providence
Little Company of Mary Community Health Foundation, and Toyota
Motor Sales, USA, Inc. each gave a
gift of $10,000 to support CBAPP
student scholarships and faculty professional development activities.
“Even in these difficult economic times, each one of you has

because you believe in helping our
[students] to go out to the South Bay
and beyond,” university president
Mildred García said. “Your generous
support helps us provide the margin
of excellence that enhances student
success and gives our faculty the
tools to develop the future leaders of
this state and of this nation.”
John Melendez, a senior majoring in business administration,
represented the 2010-2011 scholarship recipients and gave a heartfelt
testimony to the struggles of returning to college after a 28-year career
that ended with a layoff due to the
flagging economy.
“With a family and the state of
the economy, you have to make a
decision, a difficult decision whether
to pay for a degree or take care of
your family,” he said. “The benefit of
a scholarship such as this one makes
the decision easy.”

the sweatshirt she wore
while attending the

Nancy Carlson was inspired to enter
the nursing profession after watching how medical professionals cared
for her first-born daughter, who had
cystic fibrosis, and wanting to have
“more understanding of her care and
what was needed.”
Carlson completed an associate’s
degree in nursing at Santa Monica
College. On the day she received her
California nursing exam results, her
daughter died at age 7. With a second
daughter to care for, who also had
cystic fibrosis, Carlson remained focused on her professional goals and
what was best for her family.
After 10 years of clinical nursing
experience, Carlson found she could
have a larger impact on the care of
patients in a leadership position.
“I realized… that you can make
more differences in a management

role for a broader number of patients
and staff,” recalls Carlson, now chief
executive officer at Providence Little
Company of Mary Medical Center
San Pedro.
Knowing she would benefit
with additional education, Carlson
enrolled at CSU Dominguez Hills,
where she earned a bachelor’s degree
in nursing and a master’s degree in
public administration.
“My daughter [now 35] and I
were students on this campus at the
same time, much to her chagrin, I’m
quite sure,” Carlson quipped. “The
education I received here… has allowed me to be a better leader.” n

CSU Dominguez Hills partnered with
Univision Los Angeles to bring its
education fair, “Feria Es El Momento,
Edúcate,” to campus for a second
year on Oct. 9. The event featured
exhibitors representing elementary,
secondary, and higher education, as
well as representatives of Chivas USA,
health care organizations, and other
supplementary educational programs.
An estimated 27,000 visitors
walked through the CSU Dominguez
Hills Torodome during the five-hour
event, which was aimed at helping
to increase the graduation rate and
decrease the high school dropout
rate among the Latino population
and was largely targeted at the parents of soon-to-be college students.
On-air personalities from Univision’s
four Los Angeles radio and televi8
sion stations were on hand to sign
autographs, and 47,000 free books in
Spanish were distributed.
Special guests on campus for the
event included Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, L.A. County Supervisor Mark

Pasquil, the first Filipinas to serve in

23 on campus. The event, sponsored
by the office of Assemblyman Warren Furutani (D-55th Dist.), was held
in honor of October’s designation as
Filipino American History Month.
Mitch Maki, acting associate vice
president of academic programs,
welcomed guests and underscored
the significance of Cantil-Sakauye
and Pasquil’s success stories for firstgeneration college students.
The evening’s program included greetings from Assemblyman
Furutani, a performance by cultural
dance troupe Kayamanan Ng Lahi, a
look at the contributions of Filipinos to American culture by author
and librarian Florante Ibanez, and
speeches by Cantil-Sakauye, Pasquil,
and alumnus Mario Carrasco (Class
of ’10, M.A., negotiation, conflict
resolution, and peacebuilding). The
evening ended with a communityparticipation performance of “Profits
Enslave the World,” a poem by Filipino labor activist Philip Vera Cruz.
Cantil-Sakauye spoke on growing
up in the delta region of Sacramento
and participating in Filipino community events as a youth. “I was learning
leadership,” she remembered. “I was
learning courage. And I slowly began
to appreciate my Filipino heritage. The
sacrifices [my parents and grandparents] made for me to be here humble
me and keep me grounded.”

School of Nursing acting director
Rose Welch believes will prove very
useful to the nursing students.
“It’s very dynamic and interactive, and a lot of literature supports
that it really makes a difference in
promoting safety and quality of
patient care,” Welch said. “The whole
point of it is to give students the opportunity to learn the art and skill of
nursing in a safe environment before
going into the real world, which also
is the reason this entire skills lab for
the School of Nursing is so critical.”
Enhancing the student experience even further is the addition of
cameras mounted above each bed in
the labs, as well as television moni-
tors throughout. As the students are
practicing their skills, their instructors can choose to record them and
view the footage, either at their stations or back in the computer lab, in

the university presents its Annual
Donor Honor Roll and acknowledges the generosity of all its donors.

and friends, CSU Dominguez Hills
continues to invest in student scholarships, faculty development and
innovative programs, and is able to
improve opportunities for our students and have a significant impact
for generations to come.

Charitable giving doesn’t always
mean writing a check. Many donors
choose to make a gift of art—either
during their lifetime or by bequest—
to enhance the university’s collections, to incorporate art into the CSU
Dominguez Hills environment, and
to support its mission as a teaching
institution, so future generations
might experience the power and enjoyment of great works of art while
attending the university.
The CSU Dominguez Hills art
collection has benefited and grown as
a result of recent donations of gifts
of art from individuals and corporate
collectors, including paintings from
the estate of former professor Winston Hewitt. These gifts are serving
to enhance the aesthetics of the university for enjoyment by the campus
and neighboring communities.
The University Art Gallery in
LaCorte Hall has offered outstanding
exhibitions for several decades and is
one of the major exhibition spaces
in the South Bay. The Loker Student
Union features large wall displays of
historic photos and print memorabilia on both levels of the building, and
offers additional areas for exhibits. In
addition, the university has a myriad
of new and beautiful spaces in which
to display art works.
The Library South wing that
opened last April features large common areas on each floor of the fivestory building, as well as a dedicated
multicultural art gallery. The University Library Archives and Special
Collections area has a “History Walkway,” featuring historic photos of
the campus, and an exhibition area
in its Reading Room. In October, the
PICTURE Art Foundation partnered with CSU Dominguez Hills
to open a museum space in the new
wing for the benefit of the campus
and donated a large-scale sculpture
for an outside area. The growing art
collection and exhibition spaces at
CSU Dominguez Hills will continue
to enhance the quality of campus life
and the university’s value as an educational and cultural resource for the

broader South Bay community.
CSU Dominguez Hills thanks all
our friends who have supported the
university’s collections and students
studying the arts.
Professor’s Endowed
Scholarship, Gift of Art
Ensure His Legacy
Winston Russell Hewitt was the
founding chair of the modern languages department at CSU Dominguez Hills, where he taught French
literature from 1966 to 1982, but art
was his true passion. After retiring
from teaching, he devoted his life to
painting. Executors of the Winston
Russell Hewitt Foundation chose
to honor his passion for art and his
decades-long commitment to CSU
Dominguez Hills, after his death in
2006, with the creation of the Winston Hewitt Art Scholarship.
This past semester, six outstanding students majoring in art, became
the first recipients of the $200,000
scholarship. On Nov. 10, they were
recognized at an opening reception
for “Winston Hewitt: A Retrospective Exhibition of his Paintings and
Prints,” that was on display in the
University Art Gallery through December 8. The recipients, who each
received $1,000, were Jose Romero,
Brian Banuelos, Alyssa Congdon,
Jessica Portillo, Brenda Estrada, and
Diana Homayonfar-Shahedi.
At the reception, President Mildred García thanked the trustees of

After researching the varying demographics and cultures at Dominguez Hills, Victor held a casting call

in the Multicultural Center (MCC).
“Manifest Diversity” was inspired
largely by the writings of historian/
social activist Howard Zinn and
features close to 100 images of individuals and iconic scenes in American
history, from Pre-Columbian Native
Americans to present-day struggles
for social justice in issues such as
health care and immigrant rights.
University President Mildred
García and MCC Coordinator Lui
Amador welcomed guests to the
mural’s unveiling, including Speaker
Emeritus of the California State
Assembly Karen Bass (Class of ’90,
B.S., health sciences), whose image is
depicted in the mural. Johnny Itliong,
son of late United Farm Workers of
America labor leader Larry Itliong,
also attended the event to celebrate
the commemoration of his father’s
accomplishments in the mural.

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to present the first-ever California State
University, Dominguez Hills Annual Donor Honor
Roll. In this Honor Roll, we recognize the support
given between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
I am excited to report that 2009–10 saw another
strong year in giving. Over $3.8 million in philanthropic gifts were given to CSU Dominguez Hills;
this represents almost a doubling of support since
FY 2006-07. Our alumni have also stepped up their
support—the number of alumni donors quadrupled
between FY 2006–07 and the close of FY 2009–10.
The state’s economic crisis has had a dramatic
impact on our campus. Your willingness to give during
difficult economic times makes it possible for students
to pursue their dreams of attaining a college education
and makes it easier for our faculty and staff to maintain a high level of support for our students.
Without the generosity and vision of our philanthropic friends, CSU Dominguez Hills would not be
the outstanding campus it is today. CSU Dominguez
Hills continues to be a great investment. Through
your contributions, we are better able to provide
excellent academic programs, offer comprehensive
student services, and evolve into a vibrant cultural
center for the community
On behalf of our students, faculty and staff, we
thank you for the loyalty, goodwill, and support you
provide that makes CSU Dominguez Hills stronger
and better able to fulfill its educational mission. We are
able to provide transformational opportunities to our
students because of donors like you.
Sincerely,
NOTE: Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of this Honor Roll. Please
contact the Office of Development at (310) 243-2182 if you have any questions or to
report an error.

Leaving a Faculty Legacy
Ericka Verba, associate
professor of history,
was a Faculty Legacy Fund
awardee in 2007.
Since 2007, emeriti and retired faculty members of the Emeritus Faculty
Association have been donating to the Faculty Legacy Fund

pdating a catalog of literary

A summer trip to Sequoia National
Park to study stalagmites in assessing
long-term drought. Training graduate
students to analyze and code interviews for a study of sexual health
communication. These are just a few
of the projects that current professors at California State University,
Dominguez Hills have been able to
pursue thanks, in part, to the monetary contributions of faculty who
came before them.
Since 2007, emeriti and retired
faculty members of the Emeritus
Faculty Association at CSU Dominguez Hills have been donating to
the Faculty Legacy Fund, which the
association established to offer finan2 4
C al i fo r n i a S tate U n i ve r s i t y
cial support for the scholarship and
professional development of junior
faculty. The way emeritus professor
of sociology Bill Blischke sees it,
the Faculty Legacy Fund’s benefits
extend well beyond faculty.
“The Emeritus Faculty Association gives two students scholarships
each year, but what attracted me to
the Faculty Legacy Fund was how
many more students we could help,”
said Blischke, who along with Sue
Gemmell and Lenora Cook, both
emeriti professors of teacher education, helped develop the
Kenneth Rodriguez, assistant
professor of chemistry, received a
Faculty Legacy Award in 2010.
fund. “Faculty touches the lives of
tens of thousands of students, and
if we are able through the Faculty
Legacy Fund to assist junior faculty
in enhancing their teaching and
research, I feel they can have an even
greater impact.”
In the four award cycles since
its inception, the fund has handed
out awards to 10 faculty members to
begin or return to research work.
Ericka Verba, associate professor
in the Department of History was
one of the first recipients. She used
the money to compile a literary
catalog for preliminary work toward
a book-length biography of Chilean
folklorist and composer Violeta
Parra. Verba has written widely
about Parra, often using her story
as anecdote in articles
and presentations
that examine
the broader cultural and political
context of Latin America during the
1950s and 1960s. This book, she said,
would be a culmination of her lifelong interest in the artist. To be given
some financial support in the early
stages of the book project—and to
know it came from former faculty
members—was just what she needed
to move the project forward.
“It’s been an ongoing project of
mine, and the grant has given me the
boost to put aside other things and
refocus my attention,” said Verba.
“It’s psychologically motivating to
know there are people out there
who appreciate your work and want
to see you succeed. It says a lot
about Dominguez Hills that we have
faculty who remain committed to the
university. The value of the program
is much more than the monetary
award. You get to feel like you’re part
of a legacy.”
In many ways, Kenneth Rodriguez,
assistant professor in the Department
of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is the
embodiment of the “pay it forward”
legacy members of the Emeritus
Faculty Association seek to leave
through the fund and their continued
involvement with the university.
Rodriguez first came to CSU
Dominguez Hills as a student.
After earning his bachelor’s degree
in chemistry in 2001, he went on
to Ohio State University, where he
got his Ph.D. in 2007. As one of
the newest faculty members in the
chemistry department—he is in his
second year as a professor—Rodriguez is literally just starting his career.
However, he entered academia in
an age of shrinking state university
budgets and subsequent waning
financial support of faculty research.
Rodriguez, a 2010 recipient, said he
is thankful that the Faculty Legacy
Fund is giving him the start he needs.
The award money he received
will go toward purchasing a specialized piece of equipment for the
chemistry department, known as a
ZnSe (zinc selenide) wired polarizer.
www . csudh . edu
|
Rodriguez plans to use the polarizer
to conduct research on the structure
of the protein actin, which is found
in muscles fibers, by using surface
enhanced infrared absorption.
Rodriguez hopes the preliminary data
he collects will lead to major grants
from the National Institutes of
Health or the National Science Foundation to conduct further research
into the protein’s effect on muscle
diseases.
“This is where it all starts,”
Rodriguez said of grants like the
Faculty Legacy Fund. “I’m really
grateful for the Emeritus Faculty
Association. It means a lot that they
believe in me and the work I want
to do to start my research here as
a young faculty member…. They
are truly planting the seed for my
research to grow.”
In addition to accepting annual
contributions, the Faculty Legacy
Fund is endowed by the estate gifts
of several Emeritus Faculty Association members. The association
accepts donations from its members
as well as the general public, foundations and corporations.

Physics Research Looks at New Method
of Detecting Osteoporosis
José Muñoz,
X-ray imaging is one of the most
common ways to test for osteoporosis, but a major study led by Kenneth
Ganezer, professor in the Department of Physics, considers a different
method of X-ray diagnosis that
could potentially improve the quality
of such testing. An article detailing
the study, “Bone Densitometry Using
X-ray Spectra,” was recently published in Physics in Medicine and Biology,
a leading journal in medical physics.
Funded through a National Institutes
of Health grant, with experiments performed on campus, the study examined a new method of testing for osteoporosis that looks at X-ray energy
distribution, or spectrum, something
conventional X-ray images usually do

not collect. Ganezer said that used
in combination with conventional Xrays, the X-ray spectral method could
significantly reduce statistic errors in
testing of osteoporosis, and possibly
imaging dosage.
Ganezer and his co-authors on
the paper, Miodrag Krmar from the
University of Noi Sad in Serbia and
Shailendra Shulka of the University
of Florida, hope to perform additional tests to provide direct comparisons, and ultimately test the method
on human subjects.

Archeology Bridges Divide between Two Nations

Despite many parallels in village life
in southern Ecuador and Peru circa
3,500–1,000 B.C., there has been little
collaboration among archeologists
of the two countries due to tensions between their nations for most
of the 20th century. Jerry Moore,
professor in the Department of
Anthropology, is working to bridge
that divide and help advance archeology study in the region, and this past
summer co-organized a series of
mobile workshops that took place at
four locations in the South American countries. With funding from

workshops attracted approximately
300 people over the course of the
summer. With participation of 15
archeologists from Peru and Ecuador, as well as the United Kingdom
and the United States, the workshops
were a first step in facilitating scholarly exchanges between the region’s
archeologists. Archeological study of
the region is believed to be significant for what it can reveal about the
transition of ancient indigenous societies and from hunting and gathering
to an early agricultural subsistence,
and the beginnings of village governance and social strata.

John Tracy: Alumnus Gives Boeing Technology its Wings
A
mong the attendees of
the historic 1910 Air Meet, which
took place on Dominguez Rancho
Adobe land not far from where California State University, Dominguez
Hills now sits, was William Boeing,
who went on to create what would
become the world’s largest aviation
and aerospace company.
A century later, the head of
The Boeing Company’s technology efforts can claim he got his
beginnings there too. As senior vice
president of engineering, operations
and technology and chief technology officer, John Tracy (Class of ’76,
B.S., physics) is responsible for the
strategic direction of more
than 100,000 Boeing
employees worldwide. Within the
corporation, he
is responsible
for a multitude of
organizations that
include engineering,
operations, supplier
management, quality assurance and information
technology.
3 2
Tracy, a Southern California
native, says his parents inspired him
to become an engineer. When he was
in elementary school, his father gave
him a model of the X-15, a rocketpowered airplane that was used
mainly for research in the 1960s.
“This rocket-powered airplane
didn’t land on three wheels, [but] on
a wheel and two skids,” says Tracy,
“and I thought, ‘Wow, what an amazing sight! How can I get involved in
designing and building something
like that?’”
Tracy joined McDonnell Douglas, now part of Boeing, as a stress
analyst in 1981. He’s held a wide variety of leadership roles at the company, including vice president of engineering and mission assurance for
Boeing’s defense and space business
unit and vice president of structural
technologies, prototyping and quality
for the company’s advanced research
and development organization.
He said his education from
CSU Dominguez Hills
contributed greatly to his
successful career.
“The [campus] was
small enough to give me
the chance to have direct interactions with my
professors,” Tracy said,
who went on to earn a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of California, Irvine and an M.S. in physics
from CSU Los Angeles. “I especially
remember James Imai [emeritus
professor of physics]. I started out
at Dominguez Hills as a math major
with a minor in physical education,
but he convinced me I could be a
physics student.”
Tracy believes that with a little
inspiration and encouragement like
the kind he received, more students
would pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields.
“I can’t say enough about the
importance of inspiration when it
comes to getting young people interested in science and technology,” he
said. “The sight of a rocket airplane
helped inspire me to pursue a career
in this field. I hope the products that
[we at Boeing] are working on today
will encourage students to become
the designers of tomorrow’s aweinspiring products.”
A fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the
past chair of its 6,000-member aerospace division, Tracy has also been
elected as a fellow of the American
Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Royal Aeronautical
Society, and was inducted into the
Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Corporation (HENAAC) Hall of Fame in 2009.

Travis Kamiyama: Chef Oversees Restaurant on Cruise Ship
W
hen Travis Kami-
yama (Class of ’97, B.S. economics)
opened Kamiyama Sushi in 2000 in
Lomita, he served his unique interpretation of sushi in a tiny storefront
that seated about five at the bar. Ever
expanding his international restaurant empire—he has a sushi and
tapas bar in Osaka and contracts with
the Market Broiler in Orange—the
Okinawan native is now executive
sushi chef and consultant aboard the
Oasis of the Seas. The Oasis is the
largest cruise ship in the world with
16 decks and accommodations for up
to 5,400 guests.
“I broke out of the South Bay
into international waters,” says
Kamiyama. “I hope in the future to
become the authority in the cruise
ship industry in terms of Asian food
and sushi.”
Kamiyama enjoys the challenge
of serving sushi to an international
audience—some of whom may never
have had it before their cruise. Used
to running restaurants on land, where
the accessibility of exotic ingredients
are almost never an issue, Kamiyama
had to learn to strategize on what his
ocean-bound restaurant Izumi could
offer while keeping its quality high.
More than 20 specialty restaurants
and concessions on board gather
their weekly food supply through
an elaborate provision system that
enables them to serve 25,000 meals a
day during a week-long cruise to approximately 8,000 people on board.
As a student at CSU Dominguez
Hills, he says he appreciated the
“great staff, great teachers, great curriculum.” He also relied on his own
self-motivation.

Hills in the early 1990s, it was a small
campus compared to now,” he says.

“But I applied myself enough and
took full advantage of every opportunity I had, asking questions, reading a lot, and networking.”
As an entrepreneur, Kamiyama
holds firm to the same drive, and
says that, “valuing people and valuing
relationships is a huge part of it.”
In December 2010, Kamiyama
helped launch the Allure of the Seas,
a sister ship to the Oasis with a second Izumi restaurant on board. Last
fall, he participated with the Patina
Restaurant Group in providing highend dining for the Alltech FEI World
Equestrian Games in Lexington, Ky.
Kamiyama has also done volunteer work with the Boarding House
Mentors, a surfing, skateboarding
and snowboarding program for underserved youth, and for Camp Musubi, a summer program that teaches
Nikkei middle school students to
preserve their Japanese heritage. The
father of a young son and daughter,
Kamiyama emphasizes the importance of “being able to balance all of
it, not just the career aspect.”
“And always have integrity. Never
discount your services or passion,” he
says. “If you commit to something,
make sure it happens and that you
deliver every time. If you do that,
your chances of getting referrals or
more business increases by tenfold.”n

He did his share of repairing
equipment in the labs while attending the university, recalls Pearson, a
software engineer at Raytheon, and
wanted to give physics students access to the best learning experience
possible.
“Inherently, I’m an engineer
and like build things,” he says. “I
designed some support modules to
make the experiments go more easily
and accurately. The equipment was
in disrepair and kind of minimal. I
figured with a little extra money, we
could do something.”

A
throng of nearly 300 Toros gathered at the CSU Dominguez
Hills campus in January to recognize
and honor 69 former student-athletes
in a three-part Toros All-American
Wall of Honor unveiling ceremony, a
special event planned as part of the
ongoing celebration of the university’s 50th anniversary.
Beginning in the spring of 1979,
Toro student-athletes have received
94 total awards and honors, with
an unbroken record of at least one
university member receiving an
award every year since the 1981-82
academic year. In fact, 10 programs
have received at least two All-Americas, with men’s soccer leading the
way with 28 total awards. The 2003
calendar year witnessed the largest
number of awards handed out to
CSU Dominguez Hills students, with
eight total going to five athletes.
The event, which welcomed
back a who’s who of former studentathletes, coaches, administrators,
and their families, including six-time
All-American women’s track and field
sensation and current fastest woman
in the world, Carmelita Jeter, and
men’s soccer’s six-time All-American
and two-time National Player of the
Year, Kevin Gallaugher, began in
Loker Student Union for a pre-ceremony meet-and-greet before segueing into the Torodome gymnasium.
In the Torodome, each AllAmerica, Academic All-America
and Rhodes Scholar Finalist was
announced, with those in attendance
being presented a plaque commemorating their accomplishments.
Following the plaque presentation, the recipients and their
families, along with special VIPs in
attendance, made their way to the
Torodome lobby where the display
was unveiled by President Mildred
García, Vice President of Enrollment
Management and Student Affairs Sue
Borrego and Director of Athletics
Patrick Guillen.
“What a great way to celebrate
and honor the rich history and tradition that is Toros Athletics,” Guillen
said. “It was fantastic to bring back
our athletic and academic All-Americans, and our Rhodes Scholar Finalists, and recognize them for their
tremendous past achievements.
“Some had not been on campus
in 25–30 years so it was a great way
to reconnect, show off our beautiful
campus and show them the positive
direction in which CSUDH and its
Athletics Department are moving.”
Among the special guests in attendance were alumnus Rick Goacher,
who made a special presentation
to the university’s first-ever athletics director and current golf coach,
Dr. John Johnson; former men’s
basketball head coach, Dave Yanai;
and ten current CSU Dominguez
Hills All-Americans whose faces
and accomplishments will grace the
All-American Wall of Honor once
their careers are complete, including
baseball’s Abel Medina and track and
field’s Chanel Parker. —Mel Miranda
