President’s Update for Alumni and Friends
Despite the exceptionally difficult times we face, this fall was an auspicious start for the University's 50th academic year. A half-century ago, on September 25, 1959, the newly chartered State College for Alameda County — now Cal State East Bay — with a handful of faculty and staff, welcomed its first 293 trailblazing students to classes in temporary quarters at a local high school. Funding was uncertain, and there were unresolved questions about the future, but a palpable sense of optimism filled the air.
