 TRIBUTE TO DR. ANTHONY EVANS, RETIRING PRESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA STATE 
                      UNIVERSITY AT SAN BERNARDINO

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. GEORGE E. BROWN, JR.

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 10, 1997

  Mr. BROWN of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Dr. Anthony Evans, the retiring president of California State 
University at San Bernardino [CSUSB].
  Dr. Evans came to CSUSB in 1982, bringing with him the experience of 
an already illustrious career. He received his doctorate from the 
University of California, Berkeley, and served as the director of 
planning for the Peace Corps in addition to specializing in Far East 
affairs with the U.S. State Department. Prior to coming to CSUSB, Dr. 
Evans served as provost and vice president of Academic Affairs at 
Eastern Michigan University.
  In his 15 years at CSUSB, Dr. Evans has led the school through 
remarkable changes. Major construction projects have added, or expanded 
to, 10 campus buildings, the number of students and faculty have more 
than doubled, CSUSB was awarded university status, 15 degree programs 
have been added and alumni have more than tripled.
  CSUSB has blossomed under Dr. Evans' leadership. His presence will be 
sorely missed, however his legacy to the region will be leaving CSUSB 
well poised to lead San Bernardino into the 21st century. Again, I 
commend Dr. Evans for his years of service to the Cal State San 
Bernardino community and I am certain that he will bring as much 
success to his next endeavor as he did to this one.
