After researching the area, university officials saw the opportunity to open an off-campus center based on several factors including the demographics of the region, existing biotech/ medical industry, expansions of several local hospitals and the planned Temecula Hospital and Medical Center.

The Temecula City Council continues to be actively engaged in attracting higher education institutions to the area. “We are excited to see CSUSM join our community. Providing higher education opportunities for our residents is important to the Temecula City Council and we recognize the many economic benefits it brings to our area,” said Mayor Naggar, a member of the Council’s Higher Education Subcommittee. The City of Temecula is in the process of establishing a 501c(3) non-profit “Higher Education Foundation.” The Foundation’s primary focus will be capital fund raising for supporting higher education. Mr. Paul Goldring Garrett, Founder and Chairman of The Garrett Group LLC and BetterWorld Together Foundation, will provide the first contribution to the Foundation by donating a $250,000 grant in support of the immediate opportunity to locate and commence operations in the city. Universal Health Systems and Southwest Healthcare System Rancho Springs are looking forward to building a strong long-term relationship with CSUSM and their nursing program. Rancho Springs and Inland Valley medical centers will serve as clinical training centers for the nursing students attending the Temecula off-campus center. The City of Temecula welcomes California State University San Marcos and is pleased to have them as a key higher education partner in our community. “Additional higher education offerings will allow Temecula to maintain its quality of life and allow the city’s neighborhoods and businesses to continue to draw high-paid, well-educated residents and employees,” said Council Member Chuck Washington a member of the City’s Higher Education Subcommittee. p6 Temecula Today | July 2008 Paul Goldring Garrett Institute For Higher Learning California State University San Marcos at Temecula Mr. Paul Garrett providing a pledged grant to Mayor Mike Naggar for $250,000.

W. Denis Nurmela, CEO of VitalGift made the decision to start the company after its predecessor Southeast Tissue Alliance, SETA, decided to close its West Coast Operations and concentrate on the core business in Florida. SETA honored the wishes of over 800 families in its six year run in California; and once they left the area, options for donation were drastically limited and for some families the options were removed. With 20 years of background in surgery services, Denis has witnessed for himself the miracle of donation and transplantation and hoped that he could be part of offering this gift to more patients in need. Tissue donation gives hope to thousands of people with cancer, severe burns, trauma and other life threatening and life altering diseases and illness. Imagine what this gift can do for a child in need of a heart valve; for the blind or for patients suffering from trauma or injury. This selfless and generous donation can help between fifty and one hundred patients in need. VitalGift Tissue Services has now taken on the mission to provide and expand the options available to families in Southern California. Without VitalGift, many thousands of tissue recipients would not receive this vital gift… and hundreds of donor families would not be afforded the option to exercise their right to donate the gift of life. If you would like more information about this valuable service, you can visit their offices at 2091 W. Florida Ave., Suite 205 in Hemet. Check out their website at www.vitalgift.org to learn more. The phone number is (888) 601-GIFT.
