Alan Nishio, a founding member of NCRR retires after 34 years at Cal State University, Long Beach

The event was held on September 22, 2006 at the Point in the Walter Pyramid. Alan Nishio was the former Associate Vice President of the Division of Student Services and contributed to the shaping of the campus climate that celebrates student, faculty and staff diversity. The committed leadership of Alan Nishio continues to embrace the mentorship of hundreds of CSULB students and staff and encompasses a strong connection between CSULB and the greater Long Beach community. There is an Alan T. Nishio Educational Equity Excellence Scholarship established to honor outstanding CSULB students who exemplify the educational equity vision and community involvement of its namesake. Contact can be made jbellock@csulb.edu or to vbordeau@csulb.edu. Alan will continue to work in the Japanese American community and will not really retire, we hope.
