Per a White House proclamation signed by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on April 20, Fresno State’s national and state flags will fly at half-staff to honor former Vice President Walter Mondale, who died on April 18, at the age of 93. Flags will remain at half-staff through sunset on the date of the interment, which has not yet been announced.
