Spring Brunch With Faculty Grant Recipients
May 7, 2023
We welcomed 78 retirees and guests to the Spring Brunch on May 7th. We enjoyed prosecco and mimosas, a delicious brunch, lots of lively conversation and memories of our time at Sac State. We honored our most recent Faculty Development award honorees, Dr. Hamid Motallebzadeh and Dr. Maria Quintana, and the Alan D. Wade Family Research award recipient, Dr. Gwenaelle Begue.
For more information on all the recipients, please see the Retirees Association Faculty Grants page:
