“It’s good for us to recognize all of the alumni that have come out of CSUB with the great things they have achieved in their careers, it’s a chance to bring them back to CSUB and honor the stepping stones in the beginning of their career and lives,” said Tyler Moyer, president of the Alumni Association Board.
