Tell New CSUF President To Bring Back Titan Football

Tell New CSUF President To Bring Back Titan Football Posted: 23 Jun 2012 10:34 PM PDT The woman pictured at left is Mildred Garcia. Garcia recently took over for the departing Cal State FullertonPresident, Milton Gordon. Gordon’s retirement opened the door for Garcia to come to Cal State Fullerton after serving as President of Cal State Dominguez Hills. Given past President Gordon’s track record regarding athletics, many thought the probability of bringing back Titan Football would require Cal State Fullerton getting a new president that was more open to the idea. That ideal has become a reality with Gordon’s retirement. Now it is uncertain the stance and enthusiasm Garcia has for athletics as being a major driving force as to how she will conduct her duties as President of Cal State Fullerton. Her track record for promoting athletics is quite limited in that CSUDH is not an athletic powerhouse and plays in a lower NCAA division than Cal State Fullerton. Earlier this week, current students and alumni were sent an email from Dr. Garcia asking for advice and direction on where her administration should focus their collective efforts as she makes the transition to her new post at Fullerton. Her email is as follows: This is my second week as your new president and I am so pleased, excited and humbled to be working with you! As we begin this journey together, I would like to have your input to inform and shape our collective thinking and direction. Therefore, I am requesting your open and candid response to five questions. This is an opportunity for me to learn from you about our campus and to receive your suggestions and advice about moving forward. I hope you will take the time to complete this brief five-question survey by going to the following  link:  https://survey.fullerton.edu/classclimate/online/presidentsoffice.
