University creates world's largest yearbook and offers student scholarships

With the 2015 commencement, the number of 麻豆传媒社区入口 alumni will surpass three million. In recognition of reaching this significant milestone, the CSU system has launched a year-long "Class of 3 Million" celebration featuring what will become the world's largest yearbook. Through the online yearbook, CSU alumni can create a profile and connect with millions of other alumni from the 23 CSU campuses across the state. Additionally, yearbook participants will be able to earn virtual badges on their profiles for taking actions that support the success of today's students.

Alumni who sign up for the yearbook will also be entered in a special contest to win one of three $10,000 scholarships for a current or future student, sponsored by Herff Jones.

"The Class of 3 Million milestone is a momentous occasion that allows us to honor all of the CSU students who have shaped the state, the nation and beyond," said CSU Chancellor (and CSUEB alumnus) Timothy P. White '72.  "As the world's largest comprehensive four-year public university system, we are proud to produce leaders who impact every major industry and are vital to making California one of the most successful global economies."

麻豆传媒社区入口 alumni already featured in the Class of 3 Million Yearbook include baseball legend Joe Morgan, '90 (L.H.D. Honorary Doctorate 2008), who serves as senior advisor to the CEO of the Cincinnati Reds; Tessie Guillermo '80, president and CEO of the social impact organization ZeroDivide; and Hollywood Production Designer Scott Chambliss '85, who recently completed work on the new film Tomorrowland.

The online yearbook demonstrates the impact of the CSU through the accomplishments of its alumni. CSU alumni include, for example, writer Amy Tan; Michelle Kalberer, co-owner and CFO of Klean Kanteen (CSU Chico); Russ Lesser, President of Body Glove (CSU Long Beach); and Ryan Coogler, Director and Screenwriter of the film Fruitvale Station (CSU Sacramento).

Since 1961, the CSU has continually produced highly regarded and accomplished leaders in many fields including business, engineering, agriculture, education, hospitality, tourism, entertainment, athletics and healthcare. By providing an accessible, hands-on education that prepares graduates for career success, the CSU has created a network of alumni that is so extensive and renowned that it spans across the globe. In 2014-15, the CSU will exceed three million living, addressable alumni, which includes graduates from all CSU campuses as well as the Class of 2015.

As the culmination of the biggest graduation celebration ever, each spring graduate in the Class of 2015 will receive a unifying Class of 3 Million wristband to commemorate joining one of the largest and most well-known alumni families in the world.

All 麻豆传媒社区入口 and CSU alumni and the Class of 2015 are invited to join the yearbook at .
