Welcome New Students!
e is our new librarian, Frank Hughes. Hughes was born and raised
in Omaha, Nebraska, a modest-sized metropolis of about a
half-million. In California, he earned a BA and an MA in English
from CSU Los Angeles, as well as an MLIS
(Masters of Library and Information Sciences) from San Jose
State University. In addition to his education Hughes is a
22-year veteran of Los Angeles Department of Public Social
Services, having served DPSS in a number of capacities, including
Social Worker. While discussing his thoughts about the key to
success he said that Luck is the residue of hard work. Like many
others, he found that the harder he worked, the luckier he was.
Now, the correlation between the two has never been, nor will ever
be, 1 to 1, but good, honest effort seems to be the one
indispensable ingredient common to any conceivable, replicable
formula for success. Hughes mentioned that he got inspired from his
father, the late Reginald C. Hughes, who was a professional boxer
in his youth. Our librarian has suggested for students to use your
CALUMS experience to break out of your comfort zone as often as
possible.
All we can say is WELCOME Frank Hughes.
Have you wondered who the new person in the library is?

Opening proclamation was given by Dr. Rosich, CALUMS Chairman of
the Board. Next Dr. Follick from South Baylo gave the invocation,
in which he asked for blessings for the students as well as
professors. After that National Anthem was sung by Chelsea Davis.
This was followed by Dr. Jason Shin, who introduced the Board of
Trustees to the crowd.
Commencement speaker Congresswoman Chu, inspiring the crowd with
her motivational speech, and sharing her experiences in United
States Congress.
FEATURED ARTICLE 07
graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker
tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns
that individuality is the key to success.
It is a day full of tears of joy and sadness, joy because you
have come this far, sadness because its time to say goodbye. A day
of drenched handkerchiefs and shoulders, full of seeing picturesque
moments, with impeccably styled hair. A day of cameras flashing
everywhere, capturing all of these moments as remembrances. A day
for celebrating everything that has happened during graduate
school, and saying goodbye to that. A day to say goodbye to who you
knew and what you were so familiar with. It is a day to remember,
forever and ever. Both South Baylo University and California
University of Management and Sciences celebrated their graduation
ceremony on May 28th, at Sa-Rang Community Church, in Anaheim,
California. By 8:00 in the morning the church was filled with
families, friends, faculty, and cheerful GRADUATES. This year,
CALUMS had 145 graduates, ranging from Associate Degrees to Masters
Degrees.

Life is a series of beginnings, not endings. Just as graduations
are not terminations, but commencements.

Every year, there is a tradition that an outstanding student
from the graduating class represents the graduates by offering a
speech of thanks. This year, Moses Mutiso represented the
graduating class. Moses was chosen as the speaker because of his
exemplary student record, as well as his positive impact at the
university. He thanked everyone through his speech, namely his
mother, faculty, friends, parents and guardians. Moses speech was
authentic and heartfelt, and it was well appreciated by the
graduates.
On behalf of the students, a gift of appreciation was received
by Dr. Park. The gift was given by graduate Moon Ki Jo. Program
Director Dr. Woo Jin Han then presented the graduating students,
and the degrees were conferred by Dr. Rosich. The degrees were
awarded to students and they received them with excitement and
joy.
The ceremony came to its conclusion with Dr. Han leading the
students in their school oath and both schools sang their school
songs. Finally, SBU President, Dr. Shin gave the closing remark for
the event, bringing the ceremony to its end. Following the ceremony
all the students gathered outside for group photos with families
and friends. The church was brightened with the smiles of the
graduates. There is a good reason they call these ceremonies
Commencement Exercises.
Graduation is not the end: its the beginning.
WISHING ALL THE LUCK TO THE GRADUATES,
CLASS OF 2014!!!
ts almost been 3 years since I started my search for a good
school to pursue higher education in the United States
and I feel fortunate that my friends in CALUMS suggested me to
get admission here. Its been a wonderful experience since then.
CALUMS not only gave me the platform to enter into a completely
unknown world but also provided an environment where I could learn
and grow for a better future. Having done my MBA from India, I
opted for MSCIS program at CALUMS. It enhanced my skill sets and
opened up options in new career fields. On one side Prof. Janet
Laurin and Prof. Sasha made business classes so interesting; while
the technical courses from the likes of Prof. Augsberger, Prof.
Preston Williams and late Prof. Henry Rivera gave the necessary
knowledge combined with real time examples based on their
professional experience. And all this would have been much less
enjoyable had it not been for the immense support provided by the
friendly and helpful administrative staff. i.e. Ms. Lisa, Dr. Han,
D.J., Hongjun and Yukari. It was September 2013 when I completed
the program at CALUMS and currently I am working in the field of
Business Intelligence for the Stanford University at Palo Alto, CA
through my employer. When I look back, I think of so many things
that I learnt during my masters here which continue to help me. The
technical courses provided the base for my present job; but courses
like Management Communications and Project Planning provided the
grounds for better communication and presentation skills. Also, I
am comfortable to gel in with different people at work which I
relate to the great diversity of students we have at CALUMS and to
the so many friends that we make here. My first job in the US was
at front desk of CALUMS as admission assistant to Ms. Lisa; it
taught me about the work culture here which is quite different from
my home country. Not only that but the quarter end parties and
conversations with president Dr. Park were a valuable contribution
to the overall development of every student.

STUDENT SERVICES AWARDDe Jesus, Larry
he CALUMS Quarter End Event was a success as we went bowling on
Saturday, September 13th. The event was announced on the school
Facebook page as well as with posters around school, and
invitations
were sent via email. The turnout was very good as there were
around 15 students and about 10
faculty or staff members. Those who attended clearly enjoyed the
event as laughs were heard throughout the approximately 3 hours we
bowled. People got an opportunity to bowl with people they knew, as
well as meet some students and staff they didnt know. This made for
a really nice experience as everyone was able to expand their
CALUMS network and get to make some new friends. Most people bowled
3 games, though some chose to just bowl 2. The few lucky enough to
make the finals bowled a fourth game, which was considered the
championship. Administrative Director Michelle Park awarded prizes
for the top 3 finishers. The overall winner ended up being Program
Director Dr. Woojin Han. He bested students Siddesh Dyamappa and
Ram Prasad who came in second and third respectively. Dr. Han
expressed enjoyment, but hopes it can improve, saying, It was fun.
It was a good event. But I also hope we can get more students to
participate next time and moving forward. There was also some moral
support as some students and friends came to cheer people on
instead of bowling themselves. Having these folks in attendance was
great for morale and added energy to the event as a whole. As a
bowler who found himself tiring as the day went on, Student
Services Director Andrew Press appreciated the extra energy saying
I was tired! I thought it was great that the people who did come,
both bowlers and supporters, had a lot of energy and were
definitely there to have a good time. It was great to see all the
smiles and hear all the laughs; those really helped spur me on. One
of those supporters was student Milena Ivanova. She exclaimed that
she really enjoyed the event despite not actually bowling. I
thought it was great. It was really exciting to have an event that
people from the school could just enjoy. It certainly seemed as
though all who were there, students and staff alike, enjoyed their
opportunity to relax and have some fun. We look forward to having
another great event at the end of the upcoming quarter, and we hope
to have even more participation from students and staff!
