Did you know that there are more than 245,000 graduates from CSULB living around the world and that 24,000 of those are related. For many graduates coming to CSULB, taking part in The Beach Experience has become a family affair. In this edition of The Beach Connection, we feature and highlight some of these proud families.
Here's just a snippet of what you can find in the latest issue:

THE SEARS FAMILY: The Sears family celebrates Beach Pride; all four are Beach Family
members. Pictured at right, Russell Sears (’78, ‘80), Constance Sears (’79, ‘88), daughters,
Jennifer (’07) and current CSULB graduate student, Samantha.
A: "Beach Pride is our feeling of greatness and fulfillment that stems
from the knowledge that we are a part of a tradition of excellence. It is our sense of
strength, unity and achievement that extends beyond the Long Beach State campus
and into the entire Long Beach community. Beach Pride is our appreciation for the
entire 49er family." - Constance Sears
