With alumni in all 50 states and 109 countries, the Alumni Hall of Fame Awards as a full university community recognizes the outstanding CSUSB graduates for their amazing work.
The Amazon event stems from a new partnership with the California State University in the company’s efforts to hire CSU alumni and students. CSUSB was chosen as the site for the inaugural event.
Nearly 300 CSUSB students and alumni spent Saturday, April 23, to volunteer for Coyote Cares Day, a day of volunteer service on campus and in local communities.
The Bash offered live entertainment, music, food, games, prizes, department tables, alumni chapter mixers, a kids zone, student zone and more.
The event, which was the largest mixer of the year, recognized Rusty Bailey, Riverside mayor and CSUSB alumnus, for his leadership and dedication to the region.
