AS Alumni News

One era ends and another begins!

On the last Friday, in January, AS hosted a retirement party for Susan Heiser, who served as the Associate Director of AS since 1971. Many current and former Executive Officers, Council members, Finance Board members, The Daily Aztec editors, AS employees and University employees were present to share in this celebration with Susan. It was a night filled with heartfelt stories and many laughs! In this new chapter of her life, Susan plans on travelling, especially to Denver to see her grandchildren and catching-up on all the leisurely things there were never enough hours in the day to do!

Susan had an opportunity to work with her successor Christina Brown, who has been with AS now for four months! Christina, who previously worked at Sony Pictures Entertainment, is excited about her new position. She has already established strong working relationships with the student leaders and is invigorated by the energy on the campus. Christina is a CSU Long Beach grad and earned her MBA from UCLA. She moved to San Diego two years ago and makes her home in La Jolla with her husband Eric and her three children.

Spring has sprung once again on campus! As former AS student leaders, you are all aware of how busy the spring semester on campus typically is. Student body elections were recently completed, students and staff enjoyed their Spring Break, the annual Aztec Achievement Awards is on the horizon, in addition to the 1st Annual Greenfest….plans for the AS leadership transition are being made….and commencement exercises will soon follow!

The economic times are making the job market a difficult one for some of our outstanding and deserving graduates. If your company or place of employment (or one that you know of) has openings for bright, well-educated and promising young graduates, please drop us a line, or better yet, contact SDSU Career Services to lend a hand.

We trust that you and your family are doing well and hope that the arrival of spring is as uplifting for you as it is for us on the Mesa. Please drop us a line and let us know what’s new in your life that you would like to share with your fellow AS Alumni.

Go Aztecs!

Warm Regards,
Dan Cornthwaite
