KLARISSA ALCALA Daily Titan

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 students, faculty staff and administrators. Both President Mildred MATT CORKILL / DAILY TITAN García’s office and Mary Junior outfielder Josh Vargas grounds out to Stanford shortstop Tommy Edman in the third inning of Friday night’s 2-0 defeat.
