e is our new librarian, Frank Hughes. Hughes was born and

raised in Omaha, Nebraska, a modest-sized metropolis of
about a half-million. In California, he earned a BA and an
MA in English from CSU Los Angeles, as well as an MLIS
(Masters of Library and Information Sciences) from San
Jose State University. In addition to his education Hughes is a
22-year veteran of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services,
having served DPSS in a number of capacities, including Social Worker.

While discussing his thoughts about the key to success
he said that Luck is the residue of hard work. Like many others,
he found that the harder he worked, the luckier he was. Now,
the correlation between the two has never been, nor will ever be,
1 to 1, but good, honest effort seems to be the one indispensable
ingredient common to any conceivable, replicable formula for success.
Hughes mentioned that he got inspired from his father, the late
Reginald C. Hughes, who was a professional boxer in his youth.
Our librarian has suggested for students to use your CALUMS
experience to break out of your comfort zone as often as possible.

All we can say is WELCOME Frank Hughes.

FEATURED ARTICLE

THE
Life is a series of beginnings,
not endings. Just as graduations
are not terminations,
but commencements.
graduation ceremony is an event
where the commencement speaker
tells thousands of students dressed
in identical caps and gowns that
individuality is the key to success.

It is a day full of tears of joy and
sadness, joy because you have come this far,
sadness because its time to say goodbye. A day
of drenched handkerchiefs and shoulders, full of
seeing picturesque moments, with impeccably
styled hair. A day of cameras flashing everywhere,
capturing all of these moments as remembrances. A
day for celebrating everything that has happened
during graduate school, and saying goodbye to that.
A day to say goodbye to who you knew and what
you were so familiar with. It is a day to remember,
forever and ever.

Both South Baylo University and California
University of Management and Sciences celebrated
their graduation ceremony on May 28th, at Sa-Rang
Community Church, in Anaheim, California. By 8:00
in the morning the church was filled with families,
friends, faculty, and cheerful GRADUATES. This
year, CALUMS had 145 graduates, ranging from
Associate Degrees to Masters Degrees.

by Sahithi Jalagam

Opening proclamation was given by Dr.
Rosich, CALUMS Chairman of the Board. Next Dr.
Follick from South Baylo gave the invocation, in
which he asked for blessings for the students as well
as professors. After that National Anthem was sung
by Chelsea Davis. This was followed by Dr. Jason
Shin, who introduced the Board of Trustees to the
crowd.

the crowd with her motivational speech, and sharing her
experiences in United States Congress.

Every year, there is a tradition that an
outstanding student from the graduating class
represents the graduates by offering a speech of
thanks. This year, Moses Mutiso represented the
graduating class. Moses was chosen as the speaker
because of his exemplary student record, as well as
his positive impact at the university. He thanked
everyone through his speech, namely his mother,
faculty, friends, parents and guardians. Moses
speech was authentic and heartfelt, and it was well
appreciated by the graduates.

Batch 2013

ts almost been 3 years since I started

my search for a good school to pursue
higher education in the United States
and I feel fortunate that my friends in
CALUMS suggested me to get admission here. Its
been a wonderful experience since then.

On behalf of the students, a gift of
appreciation was received by Dr. Park. The gift was
given by graduate Moon Ki Jo. Program Director
Dr. Woo Jin Han then presented the graduating
students, and the degrees were conferred by Dr.
Rosich. The degrees were awarded to students and
they received them with excitement and joy.

The ceremony came to its conclusion
with Dr. Han leading the students in their
school oath and both schools sang their
school songs. Finally, SBU President, Dr. Shin
gave the closing remark for the event,
bringing the ceremony to its end.

Following the ceremony all the
students gathered outside for group photos
with families and friends. The church was
brightened with the smiles of the graduates.
There is a good reason they call these
ceremonies Commencement Exercises.

Graduation is not the end:

its the beginning.

alumni CORNER

WISHING ALL THE LUCK

TO THE GRADUATES,
CLASS OF 2014!!!

CALUMS not only gave me the platform to enter into a

completely unknown world but also provided an environment where I
could learn and grow for a better future. Having done my
MBA from India, I opted for MSCIS program at CALUMS.
It enhanced my skill sets and opened up options in new
career fields. On one side Prof. Janet Laurin and Prof.
Sasha made business classes so interesting; while the
technical courses from the likes of Prof.
Augsberger, Prof. Preston Williams
and late Prof. Henry Rivera gave the
necessary knowledge combined with
real time examples based on their
professional experience. And all this
would have been much less enjoyable
had it not been for the immense support
provided by the friendly and helpful
administrative staff. i.e. Ms. Lisa, Dr. Han,
D.J., Hongjun and Yukari.
It was September 2013 when
I completed the program at CALUMS
and currently I am working in the field
of Business Intelligence for the Stanford
University at Palo Alto, CA through my
employer. When I look back, I think of
so many things that I learnt during my
masters here which continue to help me.
The technical courses provided the base for
my present job; but courses like Management
Communications and Project Planning provided the
grounds for better communication and presentation
skills. Also, I am comfortable to gel in with different
people at work which I relate to the great diversity
of students we have at CALUMS and to the so
many friends that we make here. My first job in
the US was at front desk of CALUMS as admission
assistant to Ms. Lisa; it taught me about the work
culture here which is quite different from my
home country. Not only that but the quarter
end parties and conversations with president Dr.
Park were a valuable contribution to the overall
development of every student.

he CALUMS Quarter End Event was a success as we went

bowling on Saturday, September 13th. The event was
announced on the school Facebook page as well
as with posters around school, and invitations
were sent via email. The turnout was very good
as there were around 15 students and about 10
faculty or staff members.

Those who attended clearly enjoyed the event
as laughs were heard throughout the approximately 3
hours we bowled. People got an opportunity to bowl
with people they knew, as well as meet some students
and staff they didnt know. This made for a really
nice experience as everyone was able to expand their
CALUMS network and get to make some new friends.

Most people bowled 3 games, though some
chose to just bowl 2. The few lucky enough to make
the finals bowled a fourth game, which was considered
the championship. Administrative Director Michelle Park
awarded prizes for the top 3 finishers. The overall winner
ended up being Program Director Dr. Woojin Han. He
bested students Siddesh Dyamappa and Ram Prasad
who came in second and third respectively. Dr. Han
expressed enjoyment, but hopes it can improve,
saying, It was fun. It was a good event. But I also hope
we can get more students to participate next time and
moving forward.

There was also some moral support as
some students and friends came to cheer people on
instead of bowling themselves. Having these folks in
attendance was great for morale and added energy to
the event as a whole. As a bowler who found himself tiring
as the day went on, Student Services Director Andrew Press
appreciated the extra energy saying I was tired! I thought it was
great that the people who did come, both bowlers and supporters, had
a lot of energy and were definitely there to have a good time. It was great to
see all the smiles and hear all the laughs; those really helped spur me on.

One of those supporters was student Milena Ivanova. She exclaimed
that she really enjoyed the event despite not actually bowling. I thought it
was great. It was really exciting to have an event that people from the school could
just enjoy. It certainly seemed as though all who were there, students and staff
alike, enjoyed their opportunity to relax and have some fun. We look forward
to having another great event at the end of the upcoming quarter, and we hope to
have even more participation from students and staff!
