3 California State University, Dominguez Hills Overview

California State University, Dominguez Hills is located on a portion of the historic Rancho San Pedro, the oldest Spanish land grant in the Los Angeles area. Its 346-acre campus was in the continuous possession of the Dominguez family through seven generations, from its concession to Juan José Dominguez in 1784 to its acquisition by the people of the state of California for the home of the university.

Te California State Legislature authorized the establishment of the university in 1960 and the bill became law when Governor Edmund G. (Pat) Brown signed it on April 29, 1960. At that time, the college was to be known as South Bay State College. On January 19, 1962, its frst president, Dr. Leo F. Cain, was appointed and the Trustees renamed South Bay State as California State College at Palos Verdes. He proceeded to assemble a planning staf whose priority was the selection of a site for the college from a choice of four proposed sites: Friendship Park, Fort MacArthur, Torrance and Dominguez Hills.

Temporarily located in a California Federal Savings Bank in Rolling Hills Estates in 1965, the university held its frst classes that same fall. Te 1965-1966 schedule of classes consisted of one page ofering about ten classes per semester. Between 40 and 50 students were taught by 11 faculty members, although each administrator also taught classes.

In the wake of the 1965 Watts Riots, it was determined that the Dominguez Hills site would be most accessible to minority students in nearby neighborhoods who wanted a higher education. Te Trustees approved purchase of the site in October 1965 and changed the name to California State College, Dominguez Hills on March 3, 1966.

In September 1966, CSC Dominguez Hills opened its doors at another temporary location, what was called the Watt campus in honor of Ray A. Watt, president of the Stevenson Village Company, which owned the land and agreed to construct a building for the university’s use. Te Watt campus was on Victoria Street across the street from the current site of the university.

On June 10, 1967, the college held its frst commencement on the Watt campus with four graduates who had begun taking classes at the bank location as juniors.

After acquiring title to the Rancho land, the college held its ofcial groundbreaking on December 5, 1967. Te opening of the permanent campus occurred on October 14, 1968, in a complex still referred to today as the Small College Complex. Te remainder of the initial buildings opened on January 2, 1969, followed by the Social and Behavioral Sciences building in fall 1971, and the Educational Resources Center on January 15, 1972. Slightly more than a year later, on April 29, 1973, the college dedicated its new Natural Sciences and Mathematics building. Between 1974 and 1975, the Humanities and Fine Arts building, a Student Health Center, and a Teatre Arts Center opened.

4 In 1976, upon the announcement of President Cain’s retirement, a search for a new president culminated in the appointment of Dr. Donald R. Gerth, who addressed the faculty for the frst time on September 26 of that same year. On September 12, 1977, the California State University Board of Trustees voted to approve university status to the college, and the institution was renamed “California State University, Dominguez Hills.”

In 1984, the university hosted the cycling portion of the Los Angeles Olympics. A large outdoor velodrome was constructed with the help of the Southland Corporation. In 2003, the campus became home to the Home Depot Center (now StubHub Center), an athletics and entertainment destination for those interested in soccer, tennis, track and feld and cycle racing. Te StubHub Center is home to major league soccer team, the LA Galaxy.

On April 29, 2010, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the university, the campus celebrated with a ribbon cutting to open the south wing addition of the Leo F. Cain University Library.

CSU Dominguez Hills has benefted greatly from the service of the presidents and interim presidents who followed Presidents Cain and Gerth: Dr. Richard Butwell (1984-86); Dr. John Brownell (1986-89), acting; Dr. Robert C. Detweiler (1989-98); Dr. Herbert L. Carter (1998-99), interim; Dr. James E. Lyons, Sr. (1999-2007); Dr. Boice Bowman (2007), acting; Dr. Mildred García (2007-2012), and Dr. Willie J. Hagan (2012-present).

CSU Dominguez Hills has continued to broaden its ethnic and geographic base. It has become, as U.S. News & World Report has noted for several years, “one of the most diverse campuses in the West.” Te university provides a wide range of outstanding academic programs and opportunities to approximately 15,000 students annually, ensuring an exceptional and well-rounded educational experience. Our graduates leave with the skills that enable them to become leaders and productive citizens of a diverse and global society.

Under his leadership, SOSC is now recognized as one of the premier programs within Special Olympics, which worldwide serves nearly 5 million athletes in 180 countries. SOSC is served by 80 full-time employees and approximately 15,000 volunteers, operating annually on approximately $18 million, and serving an 11-county region that reaches from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. Athlete growth has doubled to nearly 18,000 during Shumard’s tenure, while the average age of SOSC’s athlete has dropped from 37 to 21. Tis is largely due to the successful School Partnerships Program, which now accounts for more than 50 percent of SOSC’s athletes. SOSC was awarded the bid for the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games—the largest sporting and humanitarian event in the world. Prior to coming to SOSC, Shumard enjoyed a successful career in sports management at the professional and collegiate levels. Shumard began his career as CSULB’s Sports Information Director in 1972. He later moved to California State University, Los Angeles to assume the same position for two years. Shumard joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1975 and was part of the organization’s unparalleled business success for the next 12 years. As director of community services and special events, Shumard coordinated the Dodgers’ many successful community outreach programs and a host of the franchise’s most popular promotions, including Opening Day, Old-Timer’s Day and Hollywood Stars Night. In 1988, Shumard left the Dodger organization to become the executive director of USC’s Athletic Centennial, later becoming an assistant athletic director. During his tenure at USC, the Trojans participated in two Rose Bowls and he was part of a development staf that raised more than $7 million annually to support the program. Shumard was named director of athletics at Cal State Fullerton in 1991, a position he held until 1994. While there, two of his teams reached NCAA Championship status. Shumard came full circle when he returned to CSULB, where he served as executive director of athletics until coming to SOSC in 2005. During his leadership at CSULB, the department tripled the graduation rate of its student-athletes and raised more than $7 million for capital projects, which included the naming of Te Pyramid by Mike and Arline Walter and the building of new student-athlete academic and ftness centers. Shumard is on the board of directors for the Los Angeles Sports Council, International City Racing Foundation, Columbian Foundation and the USC Sports Business Institute, and is chair of the Advisory Council for the CSULB Graduate Program in Sports Management. He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from California State University, Long Beach.

67 68 Academic Regalia

Te tradition of wearing academic gowns, mortarboard caps, tassels and hoods and the carrying of the University Mace originated in Europe during the middle ages and has been an integral feature of American academic tradition since the end of the nineteenth century. Te gown is held to be an adaptation of the robe of the friar or priest; the hood, the monk’s cowl; and the mortarboard cap recalls the skull cap. For each of the degree levels, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral, the gown sleeves indicate the degree held by the wearer. Te bachelor’s gown is a yoked, closed-front garment with long, pointed sleeves. Te master’s can be worn open or closed and has long sleeves, usually closed but slit above the elbow. Te doctoral gown has full, bell-shaped sleeves and is trimmed with velvet panels down the front and has velvet bars on each sleeve. Te color of the panels and bars is often varied to indicate the academic discipline in which the doctoral degree was earned. Te length and shape of the hood also indicate the highest degree earned by the wearer. Te color of the velvet border on any hood indicates the wearer’s feld of study. Color is an important element of all academic ceremonies. In academics, the colors used to symbolize degrees earned and areas of study are referred to as “faculty colors.” Tey are displayed on doctor’s gowns, edgings of hoods, and tassels on caps. Te ofcial faculty colors are: Agriculture – Maize Music – Pink Arts and Letters – White Nursing – Apricot Business, Accountancy, Commerce – Drab Oratory (Speech) – Silver Gray Dentistry – Lilac Pharmacy – Olive Green Economics – Copper Philosophy – Dark Blue Education – Light Blue Physical Education – Sage Green Engineering – Orange Public Administration – Peacock Blue Fine Arts – Brown Public Health – Salmon Pink Forestry – Russet Science – Golden Yellow Journalism – Crimson Social Work – Citron Law – Purple Teology – Scarlet Library Science – Lemon Yellow Veterinary Science – Gray Medicine – Green

Symbols of Office

The Mace Te University Mace is a symbol of the legal and chartered authority of the president of the university. When the mace is present, the authority of the university is present. Carrying the University Mace is an immense honor reserved for a highly distinguished faculty member.

The Presidential Chain Te University Seal forms the centerpiece of the ceremonial chain worn by the president of the university. Nine gold medallions, each inscribed with the name and years of tenure, represent a prior president of the university and form a chain symbolizing the continuity of university traditions. A crest inscribed with the name of the current president of the university sits at the base of the chain, linking the chain of medallions to the University Seal. Te Presidential Chain was frst presented to CSU Dominguez Hills president, Herbert L. Carter, at the 1999 Commencement.
