MARC LUND 1971, B.A., MATHEMATICS Owner & President, CPA Firm JENNIFER ALLYN 1989, B.A., INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION Owner, Allyn Entertainment & Forward Look Film Rentals “Our commitment to CSULB has been unwavering since its founding and each generation of our family has strengthened that bond. My father, Philip Haynes, graduated with a BA in 1955 and an MA in 1956. My mother, Jane Haynes, received her library credential in the 70’s. I proudly continued the tradition. This year a new generation is at The Beach: my son, Jake Allyn; hopefully my younger sons will also continue the Long Beach State family tradition.” DR. LAWRENCE BURNIGHT 1961, B.A., SOCIAL SCIENCE 1968, M.A., SOCIAL SCIENCE Director of Student Assignment & International Student Registration, LBUSD (ret.) “The primary benefit from my years at LBSU are the many lifelong friends that I made in my fraternity. Many have been very successful and have given back to the university and the community. Currently, I come back to campus for athletic and alumni events. I’m also a season ticket holder for the Musical Theater West at the Carpenter Center.” “It’s gratifying for me to stay connected to the university. CSULB is one of the best pub- lic schools around. I give talks to high school parents on financial aid planning for college, and I always mention The Beach as an exam- ple of affordable and quality education. I’ve also had the pleasure of staying in touch with a lot of the people I went to school with, and my son is now a teacher at The Beach.” JEFFREY WOOD 1987, B.A., SPEECH COMMUNICATION City Council Member, Lakewood CA “My current elected position was greatly influenced by my Beach experience. My positions held in Associated Students provided valuable leadership experience. This assisted me in gaining knowledge that has led me to serve on various committees, commissions and boards during and after attending CSULB. I am proud to say that in 2011, I was elected to the Lakewood City Council and I am currently serving my second term. I served as Mayor from 2015-2016.” Are you interested in sharing your expertise and wisdom with a Beach alum?
