Cal State Fullerton lead- ers, faculty and students will come together to dis- cuss campus issues during the second Titans Reach Higher Town Hall.

The previous town hall was held during the Fall 2014 semester and drew more than 300 CSUF stu- dents, faculty staff and administrators. Both President Mildred MATT CORKILL / DAILY TITAN García’s office and Mary Junior Josh Vargas grounds out to Stanford Tommy Edman in the third inning of Friday night’s 2-0 defeat. Vargas went 1-for-4 on the night and Ann Villarreal, director 3-for-10 during the three-game series at Goodwin Field.
