Congratulations to all CalUMS 2012 Graduates!

On Saturday, May 19, 2012, the 2012 CalUMS graduation ceremony was held.

We all remember the first time we contacted CalUMS to inquire about admission to the school to further our education.

You probably first communicated with Lisa Lee, our very professional and hardworking International Student Advisor or DJ Johnson, our fun and energetic recruitment coordinator in charge of increasing the school’s student population.

We congratulate and honor all our 2012 graduates. It takes great commitment and sacrifice to start and complete this journey.

Since our graduates are prepared to face the challenge of current unfavorable economic conditions felt throughout the world, this graduation ceremony is even more significant.

Congratulations to our 2012 graduates!

CalUMS Spring 2012 Day @ the Park Was it the weather, the students, or CalUMS itself? Whatever the reason, the Spring Sports Get-Together was successful! With more than one hundred attendees, it was one of the best attended CalUMS events ever!

see the students lower their defenses and take off their poker shades to just be themselves and laugh for hours of recreation.

But what was the Spring Sports GetTogether? After studying hard day-after-day, students tend to lose touch with casual fun.

Some believe that this event was successful due to our hunger for fun. We are starving to be innocent again and experience a sunburn on our face.

A get-together is never complete in my definition without the magic word “food.” Food is physiologically needed in every situation, and the event can give you atherosclerosis while you burn off serious calories from the games. “The food was awesome!” according to Mr. Beasca, the University’s Director of Administration (and that is not an exaggeration!) The food

The event was hosted in Ralph B. Clark Regional Park in Orange County on the 26th of May 2012. It started with a warm-up exercise, considered torture in a world where we only move our fingers on our keyboard. For the first time in months or years we felt our heart rate go above 90 beats per minute and felt warm blood circulating in places we never thought existed.

After the excruciating fun of the warm-up exercise, the games started to roll. We played different sports such as volleyball, football (called soccer if you are like me), and other games that will never be present in the summer Olympics (and trust me, our games were more fun!) It was refreshing to Volume 2 / Issue 3

might not have been the highlight of the event, but it brought everyone together.

Overall the Spring Sports Get-Together was great. Mr. Beasca thinks the event should be organized every year for our students and faculty.

If you attended or missed the event please share your thoughts and post it on our Facebook page. We would like to hear your feedback to help us prepare for next year.

D.J., Recruitment Coordinator D.J. joined CalUMS in January 2010. A marketing major at Pasadena City College in the late 1980s D.J. has an extensive background in marketing, merchandising and management. Priding himself in customer service, D.J. has successfully owned and managed two retail music and clothing stores in Fontana and Upland, California from 1996 to 2007.

Unfortunately, due to free music downloads and the recession, he was forced to close them in early 2008.

After a brief stint of unemployment and a painful divorce D.J. took a long and painful road to get to CalUMS. However, you would never know it by his demeanor. Enthusiastic, fun loving, and always concerned with the needs of students and others, D.J. realizes that caring, education and professionalism are keys to the success of CalUMS. Though his main duty at the school is recruiting, D.J. has managed to involve himself in everything from making the morning brew to coordinating and organizing events such as the new student orientation, open house, SBA events and the quarterly student awards ceremony.

D.J. is always ready to help. Come by and say hello!
