新澳门六合彩资料 alumni reflect on their favorite Beach memories
Memories began the day Cal State Long Beach, then known as Los Angeles-Orange County State College, welcomed 160 eager students to the converted apartment building that served as the college in the fall of 1949.
Memories are still being made 74 years later and as the campus celebrates Founders Day on Sept. 28, we share memories of those who have added to the legacy at The Beach.
Founders Day commemorates The Beach鈥檚 rich past and promising future, a tradition that began in 2019 and honors all those who have contributed to the vast 新澳门六合彩资料 community. A host of events are scheduled to mark the day.
Read as Beach alumni recall their memories from their time on campus.
"Jonathan Roberts 鈥09 proposed to me on the 新澳门六合彩资料 campus on Feb. 9, 2012 - exactly 1,000 days after our first date at Disneyland. We met while working as editors for The Daily 49er and enjoyed spending time at The Nugget between classes before we started dating the last few weeks of our senior year. Jonathan took me back to The Nugget that Thursday evening in 2012 for what I thought was just a nostalgic date night when, as we strolled the quiet campus after dinner and drinks, Jonathan got down on one knee with a ring he had hidden in his pocket. We wed on May 18, 2013, and celebrated 10 years of marriage earlier this year."
