Dashing young agent with top-secret clearance ferries confidential materials on international missions, lands in a few tight spots, and in the end gets the girl.
An elevator pitch for a James Bond movie? No, but in many ways, it’s better. In a nutshell, it was the life of James Waight (Class of ’68, B.A., history/American studies) as a diplomatic courier for the U.S. Department of State.
Unlike the famous fictional Brit, Waight doesn’t have the status: Secret service agent 007. However, he may very well be student 007. In 1965, he was among just 14 fellow juniors and 27 freshmen to attend the inaugural term at what would later become California State University, Dominguez Hills.

To celebrate their common ties, 80 members from the university’s faculty and staff gathered for a luncheon held in their honor in the Loker Student Union Ballroom on Nov. 29.

Several California State University, Dominguez Hills alumni took part in a CSU Mega Mixer along with nearly 250 alumni from 10 CSU campuses at the House of Blues at Downtown Disney in Orange County on Nov. 13.
“More than it being fun, I think it’s just a really good idea that the alums get together,” said CSU Dominguez Hills alumna Khalea Bradshaw (Class of ’09, B.A., English literature). “Thaun Lam [director for the CSU Fullerton Alumni Association] mentioned that there’s over 2.6 million CSU alums, so it only makes sense that we network and create more of a tight-knit association.”
