President Wilson Will Resign to Head New England Foundation
Interim President Likely, Though Chancellor's Office Says New Hire Could Arrive by January 1
After six and a half years as president of Cal State Northridge, Blenda J. Wilson(right) announced March 2 that she will resign her position after the spring semester ends to become the first president and chief operating officer of Nellie Mae, New England's newest educational foundation.
The CSU Chancellor's Office estimated that it will take perhaps six months to name a new president, meaning a new chief executive could start work by January 1. Meanwhile, campus officials are expecting an interim president will be named and could arrive before Wilson departs.
Calling the move "a difficult personal decision," Wilson said she accepted the new post because it addresses "the most urgent issue of education in our time"-finding ways to assure that schools, especially in urban areas, prepare students for academic success in rigorous college programs.
Begun seven months ago, the Nellie Mae Foundation is among New England's largest charitable organizations focused exclusively on education. Through grants, research and policy initiatives, it aims to improve education in the region at all levels and for all ages, especially for under-served populations.
Wilson, who arrived in September 1992 as CSUN's third president, also was the first woman president in the campus' 40-year history and only the second African-American woman president appointed in the Cal State system. Previously she was the chancellor of the University of Michigan at Dearborn.
Under Cal State policy, the search for a new president will be led by a committee consisting of CSU Board of Trustees Chair William Hauck, CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed and three trustees picked by Hauck. The committee ultimately is supposed to recommend at least three candidates to the full board.
The process also involves an advisory committee consisting of the head of the campus Faculty Senate, two faculty representatives, a support staff member, a student, a campus advisory board member, an alumnus, a senior campus administrator and a president from another CSU campus selected by the chancellor.
Under CSU policy, advisory committee members can suggest potential candidates, review and comment on candidate applications and participate in candidate interviews prior to the selection of the publicly announced finalists, who

typically visit the campus. Wilson, meanwhile, said the chancellor has plans to visit CSUN at some point to consult with faculty and student leaders about the appointment of the next campus president.
Reed earlier expressed surprise at President Wilson's announcement and reflected on her tenure. "Blenda has made an indelible impression at CSUN. First, she had the courage and vision to keep classes open in the aftermath of the devastating 1994 earthquake, which caused nearly $400 million in damage to the campus.
"Second, in directing the renovation, she has not only overseen the physical restoration of the campus, but has worked hard to ensure that CSUN will be an enhanced learning environment for students of all backgrounds into the 21st century."
The 6.9 Northridge quake devastated the campus. But Wilson's determination to bring the campus back and her slogan of that time- "Not just backŠbut better"-led to its reopening four weeks after the earthquake and only two weeks later than the original planned start of the spring semester. (right - President Wilson and her executive officers meet in a tend immediately after the Jan. 17, 1994 Northridge earthquake.)
The reopening has been followed by five years of demolition and reconstruction in accord with a campus master plan. Other landmarks of the Wilson administration have included:
An ongoing strategic planning process to position the university for the educational challenges of the new century; A rebound in enrollment, which had dipped 10 percent in the wake of the earthquake and fee increases, but now has returned to pre-earthquake levels; The start of development on the North Campus, ending years of unsuccessful attempts, with a planned biotechnology park that will provide not only income for the university, but research and internship possibilities for faculty and students; Instituting a shared governance approach in developing the annual university budget and ongoing strategic planning efforts; and Reinstating the university's Honors Program and creating the Presidential Scholars Program for high-achieving students.
The past years also have been marked by a series of controversies, the most heated of which was the decision to cut four men's intercollegiate sports for reasons of budget and gender equity. After continued community protests, the sports were later reinstated. Other controversies brewed over the activities of the campus move crew and still- unresolved plans for a new football stadium somewhere on campus.
In her inaugural address, delivered April 30, 1993, Wilson noted, "The issue which demands our most urgent attentionŠwill be creating a cohesive definition and community and individual dignity within our richly multicultural environment."
The president's championing of diversity, free speech, student-centered education, and minority and other first- generation college students also have been hallmarks of her administration.

Women's Basketball Team Climaxes Miracle Season
Lady Matadors Win First-Ever Big Sky Conference Title, Big Sky Tournament and NCAA Tournament Bid
Climaxing a miracle season, the Cal State Northridge women's basketball team rebounded from an uncertain start to win their first-ever Big Sky Conference title, Big Sky tournament championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament.
Capping a remarkable 21-7 regular season record, the women's team-which had not had an overall winning record since joining the NCAA Division I nine years ago-clinched the trio of firsts with a 79-65 home victory over Portland State on Saturday, March 6. (left - Team members celebrate their victory over Portland State.) The next day, as the team gathered at the Warner Center Marriott Hotel to watch the televised announcement of their NCAA tournament ranking, CSUN President Blenda J. Wilson revealed that interim head coach Frozena Jerro had been chosen as regular head coach.
"We still have goals we want to achieve," said sophomore guard Edniesha Curry (right- Curry received a plaque as Big Sky Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player from League Ast. Commissioner Ron Loghry). "We've gotten this far as a family and we have to stay together as a family to succeed in the tournament and in the future. Knowing coach will be with us is great news."
With tears streaming down their faces, team members then surrounded Jerro in a group hug. Jerro took a few seconds to collect her thoughts, and said, "You gave me the biggest opportunity of my http://www.csun.edu/~hfoao102/@csun.edu/csun98_99/csun0315_99/basketball.html[6/1/2012 11:27:54 AM] @csun.edu
life. We stood by each other and for each other through a tough season."
The remarkable turnabout came after a season that began with the departure and subsequent resignation of then head coach Michael Abraham. Jerro(left - Jerro celebrates the team's Big Sky championship after a March 6 victory over Portland State) shortly thereafter was named interim head coach and led the team through its best season ever in Division I play. Still, the Lady Matadors drew a No. 15 seed in the 16-team west regional of the NCAA tournament. Their first tournament game was Friday night, March 12, against No. 2 seed Colorado State (31-2) in Fort Collins, Colorado. The game was broadcast on ESPN2 and on KCSN-FM radio.
CSUN records showed only one prior game against Colorado State, a 67-52 loss in December 1992. Also competing along with CSUN in the first round of the NCAA west region tournament were women's basketball teams from UCLA (No. 3), Notre Dame (No. 5), Penn State (No. 8) and UC Santa Barbara (No. 10). The tournament has four regions totaling 64 teams.
Under the NCAA process, teams continue in the tournament as long as they win, but are eliminated with their first loss. The first and second rounds-Friday-Saturday and Sunday-Monday-were played at campus locations prior to the region semifinals this Saturday, March 20.
Last season, the Lady Matadors had a 14-14 overall record and a 9-7 mark in the Big Sky Conference, tying for third place and reaching the semifinals of the Big Sky Tournament. The 14-14 record had been the team's best since CSUN moved to the NCAA Division I level in 1990-91. The 1988-89 team had posted a 22-9 mark in Division II play.
Jerro became the team's second assistant coach in July 1997 and spent one season in that capacity. She came to CSUN after having served as the head girls basketball coach at King Junior High School in Berkeley, Calif., during the 1996- 97 season.

Campus Open Forums Slated on Accreditation Report
Final Report Due to WASC by Summer, With Evaluation Visit Slated in the Fall
Cal State Northridge faculty, staff and students are invited to two open forums Monday, March 22, to offer their opinions of the first draft of the university's accreditation self-study report. A team of faculty, staff and students has spent the past year examining how well CSUN does its job in preparation for seeking reaccreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
The first draft of the WASC report is completed and available for review on the Internet at www.csun.edu /!wascreac/. Copies also are available in the Oviatt Library, the President's Office and in each college dean's and department chair's office.
"We are at a critical point now in the self-study," said Cynthia Rawitch, chair of the self-study committee(left). "We've spent a year studying and amassing data. And we've reached a point where it's now up to the faculty, staff and administrators to carefully read this draft report and give us feedback as to its strengths and flaws.
If we don't get good feedback, then we don't have a good report." The first forum is scheduled from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Grand Salon of the University Student Union. The second forum will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Grand Salon. Refreshments will be served.
More than 60 people from throughout the campus community have been meeting regularly for more than a year collecting data for the self-study. For the first time, the review is examining how the university measures up on three self-selected themes-student achievement, assessment and the utilization of technology-rather than the nine standards WASC has traditionally used to measure institutions during accreditation. The change was at WASC's request. For now, Rawitch said the draft paints an incomplete picture of the campus. "Because we don't have the feedback yet, the picture we are painting is not finished yet," she said.
"But what it shows so far is that a number of very impressive things are happening on this campus," Rawitch said, "including how far we've come on assessment and technology, and how we are weaving it [technology] into our academic programs and onto campus, and how we're striving to become better at one of the core issues, promoting student achievement."
Rawitch said the draft self-study also includes the results of a student survey indicating that students are happy with their CSUN experiences. "In particular, they are happy with what they are learning in the classroom and the contact http://www.csun.edu/~hfoao102/@csun.edu/csun98_99/csun0315_99/wasc.html[6/1/2012 11:27:57 AM] @csun.edu
they have with faculty," said Rawitch, who has titled the draft "They Like Us, They Really Like Us: Cal State Northridge Looks at Itself."
Once faculty, staff and student feedback has been incorporated, a final draft will be sent to WASC this summer in anticipation of a campus visit by the WASC evaluation team in the fall. WASC, one of six regional accrediting associations in the country, evaluates schools, colleges and universities in California, Hawaii, Guam and the U.S. Pacific Island territories. An institution must be accredited for its students to receive government financial aid or to transfer their credits to other colleges.
CSUN was first accredited in 1960 and was re-accredited in 1980 and again in 1990. The last time, the university received a generally favorable report that commended the administration, faculty, students and curriculum.

New Campus Public Safety Director to Arrive in Mid-April
Ronald Seacrist Brings 29 Years Law Enforcement Experience at Campus and Municipal Levels
Ronald Seacrist, a 29-year law enforcement veteran and current police chief at the University of Texas-San Antonio, has been appointed as Cal State Northridge's new director of public safety by University President Blenda J. Wilson.
Seacrist, 50, whose background includes extensive campus and municipal law enforcement experience, is scheduled to start at CSUN on April 15. His hiring caps a 13-month transitional period for CSUN law enforcement since the Jan. 30, 1998 retirement of former director Ed Harrison.
"Chief Seacrist was the top choice of the university's search committee. He clearly understands the dynamics of campus law enforcement and has the depth and breadth of experience to succeed in the job," Wilson said. "I join with the rest of the campus community in welcoming him later this spring."
At CSUN, Seacrist will oversee a Public Safety Department that includes the campus policing function with 19 sworn officers; parking and transportation services; the student-staffed Community Service Officer (CSO) program; and campus environmental health and occupational safety programs.
The Public Safety Department had general fund expenditures last fiscal year of about $2 million. Seacrist began his law enforcement career in 1970 with a 101Ž2 year stint on the Tampa (Fla.) Police Department, but then shifted to a succession of university positions, including three police chief-level jobs prior to CSUN. "It's a much more positive environment," he said of campus policing.
"A campus is a unique environment," Seacrist said. "I believe the Public Safety Department and every employee in it is part of the university's learning environment. Our goal in the academic environment is to allow students to learn, and that's what we in public safety ought to be supporting."
Mary Ann Cummins-Prager, CSUN's assistant vice president for student affairs, operations and personnel, said Seacrist was chosen from more than 35 applicants, including five finalists who were brought to campus recently for interviews. Cummins-Prager chaired the search committee for the job.
CSUN Lt. Marc Hissong has been serving as the university's interim police chief since Harrison's retirement last year. Hissong retired from university service at the end of February but will continue as interim police chief until Seacrist's arrival, campus officials said. Seacrist has headed UTSA's police department since August 1994. The department has 43 sworn officers and 38 security guards, covering three different campus locations totaling nearly 20,000 students. He also oversaw health and safety, asset and risk management, and institutional compliance.

Previously, he served as director of public safety at Valdosta State University in Georgia from October 1989 to August 1994, and director of risk management, safety and security at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Florida from February 1988 to October 1989. Before that, Seacrist was director of public safety at the University of Central Florida in Orlando from September 1982 to February 1988, and was assistant director of security at Tulane University in New Orleans from November 1980 to August 1982.
Among his other accomplishments, Seacrist has a master's degree in sociology (criminal justice administration) from Valdosta State and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He also has been certified as a security expert by the American Society for Industrial Security.
