“A day in the life of the campus” is the cover theme of the spring 2008 issue of Fresno State Magazine, which is being distributed via mail to nearly 63,000 alumni, university friends, students, faculty, staff and community members.
The new edition’s centerpiece examines some of what goes into a typical day at California State University, Fresno.
It begins with dawn breaking over the campus and staff preparing bacon enough for hungry football players after practice and resident students eager to get to class. There is a mix of the well-known and behind-the-scenes, sketching how the pace accelerates during the day, ebbs, gains new momentum after dark, then quiets for the night.
Articles look at how classrooms serve ever-changing groups; staff members who mix work and child care; faculty and staff making a difference; and the person responsible for the landmark Smittcamp Alumni House’s busy schedule.
Other sections address the proposed Comprehensive Campus Master Plan, the new Centennial Committee, the Campaign for Fresno State, Sports and Alumni news. A special feature is faculty member and award-winning artist Doug Hansen’s portrait of one of the campus’ 4,000 trees.
The magazine is a twice-yearly publication of the Office of University Communications.
FresnoState Magazine also is available online by clicking the button on FresnoStateNews.com. Online readers also can link to a selection of pictures taken for the magazine, some of which could not be accommodated in the printed publication.
