I look forward to engaging with faculty, students, staff, campus presidents and CSU trustees, along with the communities we serve, as we advance this vital system of higher education for California’s future.”
White, 63, has served as UCR Chancellor since 2008 and was among the finalists for the position to succeed Chancellor Charles B. Reed who announced his retirement following a 14-year tenure with the system.
“Tim White’s background and experience reflect the institutional values and mission of the CSU,” said CSU Board Chair Bob Linscheid. “His demonstrated leadership and commitment to student success are the right combination for the university’s future.”
White is the eighth chancellor of UC Riverside, and has led the growth of the campus to almost 21,000 students, a record for the campus that opened in 1954. Shortly after arriving at UCR, he formed a committee of faculty, staff, students and community stakeholders to develop a 10-year strategic plan for the university’s next stage of development.

|
|
As a teenager, Asja Hall was struggling to finish high school; now she is pursuing a Master’s of Science in Social Work (MSW) at California State University, Dominguez Hills, where she also earned a bachelor’s degree in human services and public administration in 2011. She was recently honored as the university’s 2012 William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees’ Award for Outstanding Achievement.
The annual scholarship is given to one student from each of the 23 CSU campuses who has demonstrated financial need, experienced personal hardships, and has achieved superior academic performance and exemplary community service, as well as overcoming significant personal obstacles. Hall and the other recipients will be honored during a ceremony at the CSU Office of the Chancellor in Long Beach on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
“I’m honored to be given such a prestigious award,” Hall said. “My hard work and continued dedication to my education is providing better avenues for me and my children.”
Hall is a work-study student on campus and is a volunteer and intern at the office of Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell (CA-47th) where she handles constituent casework, tallying citizen comments, and resolving complaints. After earning her MSW, Hall plans to advocate and redevelop public policy for underserved populations among urban communities.

Alumni Attitude Study: Let Us Know What You Think
|
|
|
During the past year, the Office of Alumni Programs has begun a process to more effectively and efficiently deliver programming, services and communications to our growing number of alumni. Your opinions and concerns are an important part of this process.
Please help us better understand what you expect from your university and your alumni association by taking a few minutes to complete a survey to measure alumni attitudes and how they impact participation with the association and CSU Dominguez Hills. Your input is critical to helping meet your expectations. For your convenience, this study is conducted online only, and you will not receive any mail or phone calls related to this study.
This confidential survey will be sent to all CSU Dominguez Hills alumni with an e-mail address. If you believe that we do not have your current e-mail address, please update your profile. You should be receiving the survey in November. The results will be ready in mid-to-late January and will be shared with alumni at large, staff, administrators, and volunteers.
We value the input of all of our alumni and hope that you will participate in this endeavor with us. Thank you for your support and participation.
