“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.”

“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.”
