“Terri’s primary job is to serve as Articulation Officer for the university. This year she has gone above and beyond by training our transfer credit rule writing team on the complex nuances of transfer credit. Thanks to Terri’s outstanding training at weekly meetings, the rule writers have successfully written thousands of rules which in turn allowed admissions to post transfer credit two months earlier this year!! Way to go Terri.” — Thalia Anagnos

“Jennifer led a year long effort to develop the supplemental application to better support admission of transfer students.The supplemental application successfully launched in January 2016 and served more than 10,000 new transfer applicants. Her leadership was instrumental to the success of this project.” –Thalia Anagnos

The California State University is making important changes to the Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) Program which will be effective April 1, 2016. The most significant change is the consolidation from five vendors (i.e. TIAA-CREF, VALIC, MetLife, ING/VOYA, and Fidelity) to one sole vendor, Fidelity Investments. The CSU is working directly with Fidelity Investments and the State Controller’s Office to ensure a smooth transition for participants. Employees will receive additional communications directly from the CSU and Fidelity Investments regarding the transition, plan options, timelines and where to find more information.

“I would like to share with you my appreciation of the responsive and effective work of Reuben Soto. In short: When I transition from full-time faculty to FERP there were a few hiccups with CalPERS and the benefits (health, dental). When I contacted Rueben on the two occasions he (1) returned my call immediately, (2) got to work on the issues immediately, and (3) reported back the success of the fix within a few hours.

A wonderful level of effective service-mindedness.” –Sigurd Meldal

“As always, Tung has stepped above and beyond this week to be sure that the Library building is ready for our customers…he came in very early when the Fire Marshall was here testing our elevators and last night he stayed late to make sure that everything was taken care of after the tragic event. No one has to ask Tung to step up, he just sees what needs to be done and does it. I very much appreciate all of his support to make King Library a great place for our public and university patrons.” –Luann Budd
