President F. King Alexander said Thursday that his goals for CSULB include "de-commuterizing" the campus and getting alumni back involved in the university.
He wants to see more housing on campus, more dining, a recreation center and other things that will cause students to spend their free time on campus.
“I think students who come here and just go to class and leave are missing 50 percent of their collegiate experience," he said.
He also wants to grow CSULB's endowment by getting more alumni support. CSULB's endowment per student is among the lowest in the country, according to Alexander.
“We haven’t endowed enough funds to sustain ourselves as we continually fight these budget difficulties," he said.
Alexander is proud of the progress that has been made in this area, as CSULB’s endowment has grown about 30 percent in the last two years, up to $35 million. However, “We’ve got a long way to go,” he said.
