“I decided to include CSUB in my estate plan because of the impact that my education in Bakersfield had on the success I have experienced in my career. More specifically, I started the Iyasere Scholarship Fund because of the personal love and care that both Drs. Solomon and Marla Iyasere gave me during my time at CSUB.”

"The folks at the Division of University Advancement shared with me a wonderful STEM related Student-Faculty Research Fund that I can happily donate to. It is the perfect expression of my appreciation for CSUB."

"When we looked at our family legacy in Bakersfield, we knew that we wanted to connect with the most engaged community entity in Kern County. That is why we chose to include CSUB in our estate planning. We know that 'education is the way up and out' for every student and we want to RISE with CSUB! We will make an impact forever!"

Charlotte Brandt, CSUB alumna class of 1980
