CSUS President to report on first year

Alexander Gonzalez

California State University, Sacramento President Alexander Gonzalez will present a wrap-up of the core issues from his first year in the presidency during his final town hall meeting of the academic year at 10 a.m. Monday, May 17 in the Hinde Auditorium on campus.

A key topic will be the state’s budget crisis and its impact on the University. He will discuss how the campus is adjusting to deep budget cuts and what is anticipated in the 2004-05 academic year. He will also introduce Steve Garcia, the new vice president of business affairs, to the campus community.

The President will discuss results of an evaluation of the Intercollegiate Athletics program and its future direction.

Central to the University’s progress to Destination 2010 is the physical plant master plan that will be reviewed during the meeting, including progress on the new residence halls, and the next steps for the recreation, wellness and events center that passed in a student referendum at the end of April.

The President will also discuss the campaign underway to help select the new informal name of the University, one of the many steps in the works to help move the University to the next level in terms of literally “making a name for itself.”
