Legacies: 70th Cal State LA Alumni Exhibition curated by Mark Steven Greenfield
It is my utmost pleasure to write this short but indispensable acknowledgment of the contributions of the participating alumni and those who have labored to make this exhibit possible. At this phenomenal juncture, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of Cal State LA, the University and the community are impressed by the outstanding contributions of so many who have studied at this institution and have helped to change the community and the world for the better.
This exhibit is, first and foremost, deeply indebted to Mr. Mark Steven Greenfield, who curated this exhibit. I would also like to thank the outstanding artists who have agreed to participate in this exhibit. I am also keenly aware of the support of the University administrators, especially Dr. William Covino, President of the University, Dr. Janet Dial, Vice President for University Advancement and Executive Director of the Cal State LA Foundation, Dr. Jose Gomez, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Lynn Mahoney, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dr. Rennie Schoepflin, Dean of the College of Arts and Letters. This event would have not been possible without their support and encouragement.
Ms. Maria Magolske, Senior Director for Stewardship and Donor Relations, Ms. Jocelyn Stewart, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, and Mr. Robert Lopez, Executive Director of Communications and Public Affairs, were instrumental in structuring many facets of this exhibit. We owe them our appreciation and gratitude. Ms. Sherry Yuen-Ruan, the Communication Specialist for the catalogue, Mr. Nery Orellana, Graphic Designer with Communications and Public Affairs, and Mr. J. Emilio Flores, the University photographer, worked tirelessly and for many hours creating the publicity materials for this exhibit. The Department of Art is deeply grateful to acknowledge their support.
This acknowledgment would not be true and complete without expressing the appreciation to Professor Richard Wearn, Ms. Christina Gubala, Ms. Sandra Rodriguez and Mr. Frank Mejia for their clerical work and Mr. Brandon Hudson for transporting and installing the works. Last but not least the Gallery’s student staff should be acknowledged for their constant physical labor for this exhibition.
