President's Corner               A message from Valerie Vuicich, BS '79 Welcome to the Fresno State Alumni Association's website! It's a great time to be a Bulldog! The past year has been a building success for the Fresno State Alumni Association. We've selected a new logo, as well as a new tagline: "Your Bulldog Connection. For Life." Our membership is increasing. Homecoming and Bulldog Boulevard were well-attended and we held the annual Top Dog Alumni Awards at the Save Mart Center. Our website, fresnostatealumni.com is being revamped and The Bulldog Byte, received a prestigious award of excellence from the Public Relations Society of America Most importantly, the FSAA awarded scholarships totaling $100,000 to students based upon academic achievement and financial need. In the past decade, more than $500,000 has been awarded to well-deserving students. All made possible through membership dues and the continued support of alumni. Today, the Fresno State Alumni Association leads all of the alumni associations on the 23 campuses of the CSU system with student scholarship giving! The next year will only be better, but only with your assistance. Support students and Fresno State. Show your Bulldog loyalty, pride and spirit. Become a member of the Fresno State Alumni Association, today!
