LETTER FROM 

THE EXECUTIVE 

DIRECTOR 

Has the urge hit U yet? 

That desire to get outdoors and try something NEW, update your 

resume or trade in your time for a fun event or program! For 

many, the start of the spring quarter intensifies the need to begin 

preparing for graduation! I know I’m seeing it around the U-SU, 

but I’m also feeling the pressure to make sure all of U are carefully 

prepared for what lies outside the campus. 

Now more than ever, organization and planning is important, 

which is why we came up with events and programs to help U 

prep for life beyond Cal State L.A.! Knowing how to make the 

most of this quarter will ensure your success! 

Get SPRUNG for spring because this calendar proves that U 

don’t have to be in “the best of times” for some of the best of 

things to take place! 

It’s up to U to make the most of your time here at CSULA! 

Bring on the sun!
