Dear CSUB Alumni and Friends of CSUB,
President Zelezny represented California State University, Bakersfield to a national audience today as the guest of anchor Brianna Keilar on CNN.
The president clearly articulated the importance of the California State University’s decision to move forward with virtual instruction in the fall of 2020 to protect the health and welfare of students, faculty and staff.
Please take a moment to view the interview here.
I am incredibly proud to have an ambassador like President Zelezny advocating on behalf of the students of the university and the 53,000-plus alumni who, like me, are working every day to advance the excellence of our beloved alma mater.
— John Nilon, Class of 1979, 1988 and chair of the CSUB Foundation
