President Parham Announces Retirement

After discussions with Davida and my children over this past year about this decision, I am taking my leave at a time when Dominguez Hills has experienced tremendous growth and transformation over the past seven years. Full statement.

"Serving as President of California State University, Dominguez Hills has been one of the honors of my life, and I take a great deal of pride in building on what we inherited, and what my team and I have uniquely accomplished during what will be my seven year-plus tenure as president."
- President Thomas A. Parham

President Event Attendance and Speaker Request

President Parham takes great pride in representing the university at events. He makes every effort to participate in events that further the university's mission and support the community. The Office of the President attempts to accommodate those requests. Follow these guidelines to request the President's attendance or participation at an event:

  • Please submit requests at least four weeks in advance.
  • Fill out the President Event Attendance Request Form [PDF] and obtain approval by your Vice President or VP designee.
  • If the request is NOT approved by your Vice President or VP designee, this decision will be communicated to you by your Vice President or VP designee.
  • If approved by your Vice President or VP designee, submit the request to Presidential Aide Bernadine Grayer at bgrayer@csudh.edu. NOTE: This action alone is not a confirmation that the President will be able to attend and/or participate.

For those external to the university, please contact the Office of the President at (310) 243-3301 to request the president's attendance or participation at an event. You are not required to submit the form(s) but are welcome to do so for planning purposes.
