Scott Hornbeak, program coordinator, CSU Dominguez Hills Orthotics and Prosthetics program, was given the opportunity to repay a good deed done toward his family while stranded
on vacation Santa Rosalia as a boy. With his decades of experience with orthotics and prosthetics, and the facilities at the Ossur Center in Aliso Viejo where CSUDH has many of its classrooms and labs, he was able to fit Santa Rosalia policeman German Alonzo Higuera Lucero with a long-awaited prosthetic arm.

Greg Saks has a great collection of neckties. Conservative but playful,
patterned with motifs of fish or beach chairs, they are usually on his desk rather than around his neck, where the new associate vice president of Development in University Advancement, keeps them ready to be put on at a moment’s notice. His lack of formality belies a hands-on approach that he plans to use in reaching out to CSUDH alumni for support, strengthening their connection to their University as ambassadors for their alma mater.
