BEACH'S NEW ADDITION


For students interested in studying abroad or simply traveling in general, things just got much easier. CSULB just opened a U.S. Passport Application Acceptance Facility right here on campus on Sept. 25, 2008. This new office, located in the Career Development Center, will provide passport services to students, faculty, staff, and community members.

The idea was first proposed in the mid-1990s by Douglas Robinson, vice president for student services. According to Manuel Perez, director of the Career Development Center, "The whole idea that Dr. Robinson had was that this campus is known for its international programs and we have become a global society; today's workers and in the future need to be able to work all over the world."

The new office will be open Mondays and Wednesdays from 2-6 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-3 p.m. For additional information, or to make an appointment, you may visit the passport office's website or contact them at (562) 985-7790.
