I believe that the myBeach program and the Alumni Association bring people together in a comfortable, friendly environment that embraces different backgrounds and allows students and alumni alike to feel a sense of importance as they reflect on what they contributed to ��ɫ����.

Getting involved and joining student organizations, such as the Hispanic Students Business Association, has opened so many doors for me. I have grown professionally and found a support system and a familia on campus.

I decided that I wanted to develop my overall professionalism so I immersed myself into organizations on campus such as Alpha Kappa Psi, FMA, and SCPD. I gained not only essential business skills but friends for a lifetime along the way.

My beach experience has been a great one. All of the professors are really helpful and nice. I have learned a lot from them and I feel prepared to become a great teacher. The organizations on campus have also made my experience worthwhile.

My experience here has been uplifting and positive. I want to be an example to other older adults who may think that it’s too late to get a degree. It is never too late to keep learning and give back to your community. Generous students who have gone before me have helped make this a great school and now I want to be able to give back for others.

Reflecting on these past three years at The Beach, CSU Long Beach has provided me the opportunity to grow as a leader and as a professional through three aspects: academics, extracurriculars, and relationships.

I have made some lifelong friends and had many truly memorable experiences. I have met so many people that have not only inspired me but have helped me grow as a person.

My Beach experience has been the best two years of my life. The Beach helped me to not only grow confidence in myself as a person, but in my abilities as a journalist and writer. For that, I am forever grateful.

Being an out-of-state student, I really wanted to reach out and make connections with people that I could build lasting friendships with.

I have been able to make great connections all throughout Long Beach, and this has just been a great experience. I have always gotten the best treatment, and the fans and the support have been amazing.

The Beach is such a diverse campus that I have met and become close friends with incredible people that have changed my life and how I view it.
