The east coast provided the setting for two California State University events in early March. CSU alumni, including those from Cal State San Bernardino, mixed and mingled with Chancellor Charles B. Reed, CSUSB president Dr. Albert Karnig and other university presidents, as well as other alumni in New York and Washington, D.C.

Nearly 200 lawmakers, CSU alumni, California State University System trustees, presidents, and Chancellor Charles Reed gathered at the Rayburn House in Washington, D.C., on March 2. The California Congressional Delegation Reception afforded alumni the opportunity to meet and speak with several Congressional delegates who currently represent the State of California and provided a platform for legislative advocacy.

The following evening, more than 175 CSU alumni gathered in Midtown Manhattan for the CSU New York/Tri-State Alumni Reception. Hosted by Chancellor Reed and the CSU Alumni Associations, the event allowed alumni living in and around New York City to connect with one another and reconnect with their alma maters.
