Earth Day is celebrated Wednesday and marks the an-niversary of what many see as the start of the modern envi-ronmental movement.
The annual event was
founded in 1970 by former Sen. Gaylord Nelson in an attempt to raise awareness for environmental protec-tion after witnessing the aftermath of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California.
There is no better place to raise environmental awareness than here in California, as the state is currently experiencing its hottest and driest years in over a millenium, accord-ing to a study published
by American Geophysical Union Journal.
Although there is discord in the scientific commu-nity whether the drought is a natural phenomenon or human-caused climate change, there is a consen-sus among environmental experts and scientists who believe the drought was in-tensified by high tempera-tures spawned from green-house gases.
The temperature is con-tinuously rising, said
Sudarshan T. Kurwadkar, Ph.D, an assistant professor of civil and environmen-tal engineering. “Continu-ous increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which accounts for 82 per-cent of all the greenhouse gases, has led to the dra-matic changes in tempera-ture variations.”
The three-year period be-tween 2011 and 2014 was the driest since record keeping be-gan in 1895, according to a re-cent publication by the Public
Policy Institute of California. To make matters worse, 2014 was the warmest year on re-cord in California.
Such severe statistics prompted California Gov. Jerry Brown to issue man-datory water restrictions in potable water for cities all across the state on April 1.
“Conservation of water is a big deal,” Kurwadkar said. “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
Experts urge CA to to merge Earth Day into their lifestyles

In hopes of facilitating an easier, more cost-effec-tive admission process into schools with medical pro-grams, Cal State Fullerton has created linkage pro-grams in conjunction with other universities.
The programs, formal-ly approved in 2014 and fa-cilitated by the university’s Health Professions Program, are partnerships between Cal State Fullerton and two other universities: American University of Antigua and St. George’s University, said Christina Cardenas, Com-munications and Marketing Specialist for the office.
Students in the program—who start as undergraduate students at CSUF—will be able to take advantage of an accelerated application pro-cess and will be offered spe-cial consideration for admis-sion, Cardenas said.
The program also saves students the necessity of ap-plying to multiple medical schools, she said.
“Traditionally, applying to several schools can cost up-ward of $5,000 with all the application fees and trav-el for interview,” she said. “Also, whereas U.S. medical schools typically have one application period a year, these two campuses have two or three application or ‘entry points.’”
Both universities are lo-cated in the Caribbean, and program officials realize that not everyone will be suited to studying in an off-shore program, said Chris-tina Goode, Ph.D., director of the Health Professions Program.

It was the first hole in the first golf tournament of her life. Seven-year-old Tisha Alyn Abrea, com-peting in the 9 to 12-year-old girls division, had just carded an 11 on a par-four hole; not a good start. With tears in her eyes, she broke tournament rules and ran to her parents in the crowd and told them she wanted to quit, but they encouraged her to fin-ish the game. She did—in last place.
After her loss in that very first competition, she returned next year to the same tournament and won. Now, ten years and many tournaments later, Alyn Abrea can’t imagine giv-ing up golf.
“I’ve never burnt out.
I’ve always loved it,” Alyn Abrea said.
The 21-year-old broad-cast journalism major will be graduating from Cal State Fullerton in May. With only a few weeks left in the semester, Alyn Abrea says she is on the brink of reaching her next goal: going pro and com-peting in the Ladies Profes-sional Golf Association.
In 2014, Alyn Abrea achieved several personal records like finishing with a 75.31 scoring average and earning four top-10 finish-es throughout the season. That year was also the one which cemented her re-solve to pursue a profes-sional career.
“I felt like this game that I have is good enough to compete at a really high level ... the fact that I’ve kind of already touched greatness for a little bit was like, ‘OK you got to at least try; you can’t quit before you even try,’” Alyn Abrea said.
Tisha Alyn Abrea is hoping to become an LPGA player

Tisha Alyn Abrea went sobbing to her parents after finishing last in her first golf tournament as a 7-year-old, but is now pursuing a professional career in the sport she loves. The senior also hopes to be a broadcaster for The Golf Channel one day.

Six men attempt to join ISIS
U.S. ships to deploy to Yemen
Pulitzer winners announced

The U.S. charged six men from Minnesota for attempting to join The Islamic State Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The six men repeat-edly attempted to trav-el to Syria despite being stopped and warned of the consequences, au-thorities said.
20-year-old Abdi Nur managed to get out of the country hours before the FBI deter-mined his plans to join The Islamic State.
Two of the men charged Monday said Nur kept contact with them, told them he was fighting with Islamic State and would put them in touch with someone in Mexico who had access to fake passports.
The men were set to appear in court Mon-day afternoon and it was unclear if they had lawyers.
U.S. warships will be deployed to Yemen to monitor ships travel-ing from Iran which are suspected of trafficking weapons to Houthi reb-els, according to CNN.
Commander Kevin Stephens of the Fifth Fleet said the ships are closely monitoring ac-tivity in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The Roosevelt air-craft carrier and the guided-missile USS Normandy were two ships moved off the coast of Yemen by the Navy Sunday. There are currently nine U.S. naval ships oper-ating off the coast in Yemen.
Sen. John McCain blamed President Barack Obama’s for-eign policy, saying the current situation was the result of not taking care of Yemen’s former government, which dissolved in January.
Twenty-two Pulitzer Prizes were granted to distinguished jour-nalists, publications, authors, poets and musicians.
Among the 22 re-cipients are Mary Mc-Namara of the Los Angeles Times, Lisa Falkenberg of the Houston Chronicle and Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post.
McNamara was awarded in the cat-egory of criticism, Falkenberg was hon-ored in the category of commentary and Leonnig was awarded in the category of na-tional reporting.
Major publications such as the The Seat-tle Times and The New York Times were hon-ored for for break-ing news and inter-national reporting, respectively.
The best practices to edu-cate students with autism will be highlighted and discussed during the ninth annual Con-ference on Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Each year, approximately 400 parents and educators at-tend the conference, which be-gan nine years ago when Be-linda Karge, Ph.D., a professor of special education, obtained a National Institute of Health conference grant.
“This conference allows community members, which includes parents, adminis-trators, teachers, and leaders in the community, to come and learn more about evi-dence-based interventions for Autism,” said Erica Howell, Ph.D., an assistant professor of special education.
Attendees can then apply the information they learn at the conference to their work with children with autism, Howell said.
The keynote speaker, Ste-phen Hinkle regularly gives presentations around the U.S. on autism, inclusive education and disability policy. He will present “The Hidden Curric-ulum of School” during the keynote address Friday and “Inclusion from a Student’s Perspective” in Saturday’s keynote.
Hinkle, who was diagnosed with autism, went through the public education system, eventually graduating with a bachelor’s degree in comput-er science from San Diego State University, and later a master’s in special education from Northern Arizona Uni-versity, according to Hinkle’s website.
Since then, he has trained teachers and parents to better work with special needs chil-dren, and works with school system and advocacy organi-zations to adopt policies that
best support special needs students.
Howell and Karge are co-directors of the Center for Autism and co-chairs of the conference.
Since the conference’s in-ception, an organized group of community members plan and invite individuals with
expertise each year. The conference is partially
funded this year by the Au-tism, Inclusion, Mathematics Core and Science Innovation Scholar Program , directed by Karge.
As of now, approximately 200 tickets have been sold.
The Friday session is from
6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and costs $25, the Saturday session is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and costs $50 with lunch provid-ed. To attend both sessions the cost is $75 and must be speci-fied in the registration form.
The conference will take place Friday to Saturday in the Embassy Suites in Brea.

The Entrepreneur Society will hold its annual Small Business Bash Tuesday to showcase Cal State Fuller-ton’s student entrepreneurs.
Local businesses, vendors and student entrepreneurs will be marketing their products and services to stu-dents during this event.
Member participation in the bash will be up this year as over half of the vendors queued for the event will be students, student participant Tristan Schmitt said.
The Entrepreneur Soci-ety challenges its members by introducing them to en-vironments that will emu-late situations they may face as future business owners, Schmitt said.
“I feel that this will be a great opportunity for them to see that just by being out there that you know it’s not such a hard thing to get themselves out there,” Vice President of the Entrepre-neur Society Andrea Wang said.
The event will offer a wide range of products and services such as food trucks, jewelry and accessories.
“If (the people) don’t re-ally like (a student vendors) product or service, it’s a great way to improve and see what they can do bet-ter,” Wang said. “But I just feel like this event is a re-ally great way for them to see what works and what doesn’t work.”
Schmitt, a finance and entrepreneur major, is co-founder of Modern Zinc which is a line of sheets in-fused with Zinc. Schmitt will provide brochures to educate students of the health benefits and cost-ef-fectiveness of his future
product. Schmitt recently joined
the Entrepreneur Society in spring, and was met with en-couragement from the entire club to “dive into” his busi-ness venture.
“I’ve always been interest-ed in starting my own busi-ness, I was just never ready to full on dive into the entre-preneurship major,” Schmitt said. “The Entrepreneur So-ciety is all about supporting each other, and that’s like a big focus they have … they want to really engage you, have the rest of the club help you with ideas and get you connected with any people that you might need or any help that you might need.”
Despite the lack of efforts to get involved earlier in his college career, Schmitt knows that this event will be a big step to his future en-deavors, he said.
The Small Business Bash will take place on April 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the central Quad.

“The linkage allows us to carefully advise appli-cants and so a goal is that students are fully informed before pursuing this route,” she said.
In order to qualify, stu-dents must meet the re-quirements at each profes-sional school and have a 3.3 GPA or higher in sci-ence courses. In addition, they have to take the Medi-cal School Admissions Test
(MCAT) and must complete and submit an application to the CSUF Health Pro-fessions Committee, said Christina Goode, Ph.D., di-rector of the Health Profes-sions Program.
“The applicants should
have strong faculty recom-mendations, personal state-ments that tell us who they are and healthcare experi-ence,” Goode said.
American University of Antigua and St. George’s University are the latest
among many schools to join Cal State Fullerton in linkage programs.
The other partnerships are with Western Univer-sity of Health Science and its optometry, osteopath-ic, pharmacy and podiatry
programs; Lake Eerie Col-lege of Medicine’s den-tal, osteopathic and phar-macy programs; and the George Washington School of Medicine’s medical pro-gram for pre-health certifi-cate students.

Planning a better business
A group of five graduate students from Cal State Ful-lerton’s Steven G. Mihay-lo College of Business and Economics placed second in a national competition for student-organized, strategic business planning.
The group took second place at the Small Business Institute Consulting Project of the Year Competition for strategic business planning, the practice of analyzing a company’s internal and ex-ternal factors and developing a plan to make that business more successful.
This is the fourth time graduate student-led teams from CSUF have placed in the top three in this compe-tition. For the past 22 years CSUF’s teams have placed in the top 10.
Fernando Arevalo, Dan-iel Equina, Anita Kao, Ryan Laiola and Sumer Sharma, the group whose plan won the award, have since grad-uated, as it takes multiple years to analyze the impact of their work.
The students were part of a capstone course for a business master’s program in strate-gic management that required them to execute their own business planning.
The class, led by Peng Chan, Ph.D, a professor in the management program, is designed to give students experience in producing a real-world strategic busi-ness consultation.
The students organized themselves into a team called Enterprise Consult-ing Group and were as-signed a small business,
Reborn Cabinets Inc., a custom cabinet manufac-turer, to work with.
The group was required to analyze the company both internally and as a compet-itor in the marketplace, and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, Chan said.
“Sometimes when we go in, the client has something specific in mind, saying
‘here’s our problems.’” Chan said, “As we start the consulting process, they’ll realize a lot of things that are very interesting that they haven’t even thought about,” Chan said
The students used focus groups to better understand Reborn Cabinet’s clientele. About 60 individual people were interviewed, Laiola,
a member of the student team, said.
The comprehensive nature of the consulting gave Laiola a greater appreciation for the nuances of business opera-tion, he said.
“You step back and write an entire recommendation to see how everything leads up to the big picture again,” Lai-ola said.
Reborn Cabinets noticed the work Enterprise Con-sulting Group did as well.
“The client wanted to hire me,” Laiola said, “I took their offer very seriously.”
Laiola is currently the vice president of the commercial banking arm of California Bank & Trust’s greater South-ern California division.

Linkage: Program aids pre-med students
Zine lovers and publish-ers gathered at the Orange County Museum of Art for the Fanatic Zine Night on Friday to discuss the rel-evancy of zines and zine culture.
Zines (rhymes with teens and jeans, not vines and mines) are homemade pub-lications created by any-one with a voice and a cre-ative love for DIY projects. It is derived from the word magazine.
Legendary zine artists and scholars, Jen Smith, co-founder of the origi-nal Riot Grrrl Zine, and the creator of the BOOK-MOBILE Project, Onya
Hogan-Finlay, facilitated by Mukta Mohan of KXLU Los Angeles 88.9 FM, dis-cussed at the event the evo-lution of zines and its cul-ture of people.
People who feel a need to express themselves in a safe place can collaborate within the zine scene, where they may often feel misrep-resented in the mainstream world. This is why zine cul-ture is often associated with some of the more under-ground and energetic move-ments like punk, feminist and queer.
“Feminism brought me to zines and then zines brought me to a much wider com-munity” Onya Hogan-Fin-lay one of the speakers at the event said.
But for Smith, it was the music that got her into zines. “Punk in particular was this, like permission, to just do it,” Smith said. “And so I feel like zines were just
another extension of that.” It can be difficult to come
up with a more specific defi-nition of the hipster and punk magazines because not all zines are the same. But the differences in zines and zine makers, as well as its accessibility, keep the zine culture interesting.
Like the art world, “there’s different sections, there’s not one zine culture” said Rob Brown, 33-year-old print and sound art-ist. “And so I like the idea of making things that my friends can afford to buy and can be traded or more accessible, to me that’s the big appeal.”
Zines can be published regularly or irregularly and distributed person-to-per-son and sold at fairs or bookstores. Some are even displayed in museum ex-hibitions like “Alien She”, that’s on display at the Or-ange County Museum of Arts through May 24.
“A lot of it came from pre-internet, like a way for people to have a voice and distribute ideas and share ideas. And I think that cul-ture still exists,” Brown said.
Living in the digital age, it can be tough to see where zines fit in when blogs, Tumblr and Twitter
surround it. But zines are still a very tangible way to meet like-minded people.
“It’s like the original blog,” said Benny Edles, 26-year-old organizer for the Orange County Zine Fest.
“There’s CD’s and MP3’s, but there’s still a lot of people that are just into records,” said Joe Goboyn, a 33-year-old zine mak-er from Applesauce In-dustries. “It’s one thing to just be able to buy a MP3 and listen to it in your car, but some people want to buy a record and open up the thing and read the lyr-ics, and feel the thing in their hands.” It’s the exact same thing with zines that keep them as relevant as they were in the 1970s and 1990s.
Zines are rich with per-sonality as it allows zine makers to see reflections of themselves through an
archive of moments than they would through the se-lection of templates on a blog site.
“I feel like blogs and the Internet actually dis-seminates people whose ideas about themselves are still being constructed … and I think that that’s not healthy,” Smith said. “You need some privacy as you develop your identity. You need a place to feel like ‘I am not a total weirdo and freak’ and not because ev-erybody on Facebook or the blog sphere has some-thing to say, but because your friend next to you is like ‘I understand what you’re talking about.’”
Zine making is alive and well, as evidenced by the Fanatic Zine Night, as well as the Long Beach Zine Fest and many more fairs that allow people to voice their thoughts and share their creativity.

Limiting the use of water will not only help with the drought but will also re-duce greenhouse gas emis-sions Kurwadkar said. The conservation of water will induce water treatment plants to use less electricity due to the decrease of wa-ter supply and thus reduc-ing its carbon footprint.
“Consuming less (water) will produce less waste wa-ter, which will need less treatment,” Kurwadkar said.
Many experts warn that the drought will have devastating economic repercussions with-in the state.
“It is estimated that the cur-rent drought this year is going to cost over $2 billion in lost
economic output,” said Anil K. Puri, Ph.D., dean of the Steven G. Mihaylo College of Business and Economics. “With up to 70,000 jobs lost, primarily in central California and agriculture.”
With a lack of surface water in California due to below-average precipita-tion, the agricultural in-dustry and many counties across the state are using alternative methods to pro-duce potable water.
In fact, Orange County cur-rently has the largest water purification project of its kind in the world. The Ground-water Replenishment System takes wastewater and purifies it, producing a high-quality water supply for its residents. The purification system pro-duces up to 70 million gallons
of high-quality water a day, meeting the needs of nearly 600,000 residents within the county, according to the Or-ange County Water District,
But again, these alternative projects have their drawbacks. Both Kurwadkar and Puri agree that alternative methods are “energy intensive” and could cause harm to the envi-ronment in the long term.
As a result, Kurwadkar urges the public to become environmentally conscious, not just on Earth Day but also incorporate it into their lifestyle.
“Each and every individual has a share in climate change,” Kurwadkar said. “When there is awareness on the individu-al level and everybody starts doing their part of their share, it’ll be a better world.”

Earth: The value of being enviornmentally mindful
Unlike other garage sales, Garage Gains did not put price tags on any of their items being sold. Instead, business and entrepreneur-ship students in charge of the sale, told people to pay what they wanted to donate to the Children’s Hospital of Or-ange County.
“We really just encouraged people to pay the price that they felt was justified to give back to children’s hospital,” said Kaylyn Donohue, 21, pursuing a minor in business entrepreneurship. “At first we were thinking about giving set prices but a lot of people were actually willing to pay a little bit more through that donation request.”
As part of a communi-ty outreach project, seven Cal State Fullerton students worked to partner with the children’s hospital to develop a non-profit organization—based on the concept of a garage sale. Now, with the help of generous donations and a unique pricing system, Garage Gains is working to help communities around the nation.
The new Fullerton-based, nonprofit organization Ga-rage Gains held its first event Saturday in parking Lot A. The organization paired up with the Children’s Hospi-tal and has been working to-ward the event all semester to make it a success.
Garage Gains is a travel-ing organization that holds
large garage sales to benefit the communities charity of choice, said founder and team leader Kaylyn Donohue, 21, who is pursuing a minor in business entrepreneurship.
Within the business and entrepreneurship major, stu-dents must pitch a concept, which will then be developed into a business. The top five business ideas were voted on and Garage Gains was one of them, Donohue said.
“We formed a team of sev-en students and we’ve been working on it for the past few months, to soft launch this nonprofit and to pair up with the children’s hospital for our first event.”
Garage Gains donates the
money they raise to a differ-ent charity for each city that they travel to. Garage Gains team member, Andrew At-tia, 21, business and entrepre-neurship major, said the com-munity gets to decide where their charity money will go to.
Since Garage Gains en-courages community partic-ipation, the team members reached out to certain people throughout the community to donate their items. Attia said they asked friends, family, strangers and used social me-dia and Craigslist to search for donations.
The Garage Gains team was open to any items be-ing offered up as donations
Donohue said. The items sold at the event ranged from pic-ture frames, books, televi-sion sets, couches and even a door.
A sign above a small mountain of clothing read “Fill a bag of clothes for $3,” was reduced to $1 by 1:30 p.m. Donohue said that some of their “big ticket” items were snowboards, a dining room set and a table with barstools.
“We got donated three brand new snowboards, so that was actually one of our very first items to go,” Dono-hue said.
Donohue hopes to continue developing Garage Gains af-ter the class is over.
“We definitely learned a lot from today’s event. What we would do the same and also what we would do different-ly,” Donohue said. “It was a lot of work to be just a hand-ful of students; we would definitely need a lot more manpower if we want to con-tinue to do this.”
Garage Gains plans to stay local and hold more events in Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego due to their budget. Then hopefully move up the coast to San Francisco and eventually out of Califor-nia into other states, Dono-hue said
Amanda Wollaston, 21, history major and former children’s hospital patient,
said she attended the event because the proceeds were going to a good cause.
“My favorite part was just sharing this experience with other Titans,” Wollaston said. “There was a bunch of alum Titans that came by today and especially seeing people that have had children’s hos-pital experiences or are going through children’s hospital experiences really made my day.”
The Garage Gains team raised a total of $801 from the event to donate to the children’s hospital. Dono-hue said all of the money not used to cover the event’s expenses will be given to the hospital.

As graduation inch-es closer every day, many students are worried about their future. The entire ob-jective in school is to pre-pare students with the nec-essary skills to land a job. But in a job market so bleak, students shouldn’t feel ashamed if they haven’t
landed a job come gradua-tion. There are so many op-tions to consider, only one of which is working on a career.
Finishing college is a great accomplishment, but by this time, brains are ex-hausted and motivation lev-els have been thoroughly spent along the way. Tak-ing a year off after gradu-ation is by far the greatest opportunity to recharge that tired brain and regain ambition.
Many students choose to pursue graduate school or even an internship, which
is a great start, but don’t despair if these aren’t available options. Taking a break after graduation doesn’t mean pushing off a career; it’s an opportu-nity to take a breather and relax.
Travel, explore, learn how to cook, indulge in an unforgettable endeavor or perhaps keep working at your current job. Even though that’s nothing ex-citing, it provides a chance to clear the mind and re-fuel for the next endeavor while gaining some finan-cial stability.
Most college graduates don’t have a clue as to what they’re going to do after graduation. Instead, take this time to focus on your-self. Whether that means going on hikes everyday, lounging around the pool or catching up on your Net-flix queue, just relax and go with the flow.
Another reason to take a year off is to beef up that resume. Get an internship somewhere, polish your career skills, and continue into the workforce as a mo-tivated, dedicated individ-ual ready to thrive. There
is no need to feel forced about giving a thrilling re-sponse when asked about your plans after graduation. Lounging around figuring out what to do next is per-fectly acceptable.
Taking a year off is a great time to just be lazy and only worry about your-self. You can finally spend more time with loved ones instead of rushing to class and commuting to work. Take a nice, long breather from the stress school has brought your entire life and explore what life has to of-fer. It can be as exciting as
travelling to another coun-try, or as simple as relaxing at a coffee shop or hanging out with friends.
Don’t be afraid to take a year off. We’re not sup-posed to have all the an-swers right now. Your twenties are supposed to be about discovering yourself. Besides, you’ve already ac-complished something—earning a degree—so pat yourself on the back and give yourself a much need-ed vacation. You have your whole life to work hard. Life is short—get out there and enjoy yourself.
There is no obligation to chase a career post-graduation

The new update al-lows users to select from six different choices of skin col-or, expanding on the yellow default option that’s meant to be racially neutral. Despite many arguing that this up-date has only made the sub-ject of race an even larger is-sue, Apple isn’t to blame for the racial insensitivity of iP-hone users. Apple made the right move by creating more ethnically diverse emojis and shouldn’t revert back to the neutral yellow emojis.
Apple’s old emoji key-board only allowed users to select an ethnically white representation as well as a
few ethnicities that included only male counterparts. In 2014, Apple announced they were working on an update to include more diversity, which added onto the 2012 update that included same-sex couple emojis.
This well-intentioned up-date has caused more is-sues than expected, eliciting harsh criticism from media outlets. Other users are crit-icizing the unnecessary obli-gation to pick an emoji that accurately represents them-selves, instead of choosing a default. These user prob-lems reflect racial inequali-ty within American culture and Apple cannot be held re-sponsible for their efforts of inclusivity.
Issues of racial inequal-ity are a reflection of the way American culture han-dles race exclusion. For-ty-nine percent of Ameri-cans believe there needs to be more progress made to narrow gaps between ethnic groups, according to a 2013
Pew Research Center study. The study also found 35 per-cent of African Americans and 20 percent of Hispan-ics felt they were treated un-fairly because of their race. Those statistics indicate the inequality that people of color are subjected to with-in the United States. If users are guilty of making racist remarks with the new emo-jis, that’s their problem, not Apple’s.
Equal representation is important yet lacking in the United States, reflected in the stereotypes and preju-dices against people’s ap-pearances everyday. If Ap-ple chooses to remove their new emojis now, it would be cowardly.
The demand for racial in-clusion needs to be repre-sented and Apple shouldn’t falter because of a few un-civilized users. We must em-brace the diversity and dyna-mism that reflects the heart of America if race is to ever become a non issue.
Apple’s effort to include multiple races is commendable

Born and raised in Illi-nois until the age of 15, Alyn Abrea said her father had al-ways wanted a boy. When he got a girl, he was still de-termined to involve her with sports.
While on a trip to vis-it family in California, the then-3-year-old Alyn Abrea made an impression on her father and other by-standers on the range, us-ing a plastic golf set to hit some balls. By the time they were on the plane ride home, her father had
decided she would become a golfer.
After a period in which she felt she was playing more for her parents than for herself, Alyn Abrea redis-covered her passion for the game around age 15.
After multiple injuries, she began working with a new swing coach whose methods made Alyn Abrea a better golfer and relit her fire for the game.
“It was no longer playing to make my family proud; it was playing because I really want this,” Alyn Abrea said.
That passion and drive
continued and carried her through her college games.
Recruited to CSUF with
a full scholarship in 2011, Alyn Abrea said she took a leap of faith by coming to a university with a brand new golf program.
Head Coach Pearl
Sinn-Bonanni said Alyn Abrea was the first one to take that leap, and the two
have worked closely since day one. During recruiting, Sinn-Bonanni said, Alyn Abrea had the “it” factor and “she played without fear in her game.”
She says Alyn Abrea is a player who takes charge of her game and knows what will work for her.
“She still has a lot of con-fidence about who she is and what she wants out of life,” Sinn-Bonanni said.
Alyn Abrea will enter “mini tournaments” as a pro-fessional until August, when she will compete at Qualify-ing School, a series of mul-tiple-day tournaments for as-piring LPGA-level golfers.
“I think that as I grew, the dream of becoming a pro-fessional kind of dwindled because reality checked in,”
Alyn Abrea said. “But now that I’m so close to that de-cision time, if I was 30 or 40 and I look back and say I quit now, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.”
While golf is her main priority, Alyn Abrea’s sec-ond dream is to join The Golf Channel as a com-mentator, her ideal ven-ue for using her broadcast education.
For now, though, she’s chasing one dream at a time and the girl that was sobbing in her first golf tournament is focusing on starting her professional career.

Cal State Fullerton moved up a spot Monday at the Big West Conference
women’s golf champion-ship with the help of soph-omore Martina Edberg and junior Nadine Rivera.
This year’s Big West Conference Championship is hosted by the five-time defending champions UC Davis at El Macero Coun-try Club in El Macero, California.
The Titans ended Sunday
in a tie for seventh, but managed to jump into sixth place at the end of Monday’s action due in large part to Edberg and Rivera.
Edberg, the defending in-dividual champion, entered Monday sitting in 18th place overall. But by Mon-day’s end, Edberg managed to move to 10th place after
she shot an even-par 72.Rivera also shot an even-
par 72, good enough to move her into a tie for 23rd with freshman teammate Brittany Farrell. Rivera shot seven birdies on the day, which was second best in that category.
UC Davis’ Andrea Wong is leading the pack in the individual competition
with a five-under 139, holding a slim lead of one stroke over Hawaii’s Ra-quel Ek.
The Titans collective-ly shot an 11-over par 299 on the day and are 36-over 612 through two rounds. The Titans trail Cal Poly San Luis Obispo by four strokes and Long Beach State by seven strokes.
UC Davis is atop the lea-derboards as they finished Monday shooting 7-un-der par 281. This puts the Aggies at 569 overall, 12 strokes ahead of second place Hawaii.
CSUF will be looking to stay focused and finish strong Tuesday in the last day of the Big West Con-ference Championship.
The Titans are within reach of two others heading into final day

Women’s golf moves into sixth after strong second round
Tennis seeks upset over UCI
The Cal State Fuller-ton women’s tennis team is looking to take a disap-pointing regular season and turn things around at the Big West Championships.
The Titans ended the season on a good run of form as they were able to win two of their last three league encounters. The Ti-tans did not get off to the best of starts and ended the
regular season with a 10-11 record, but they have be-gun to play better tennis of late and it has shown in the results.
With the Titans’ two con-ference wins, they were able to secure a seven seed in the upcoming Big West Championships that are set to be held at Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Securing the seven seed in the Big West Champi-onships has allowed the Ti-tans to avoid playing in the first round. They are set to play UC Irvine, which will be the two seed after a 6-2 conference campaign.
CSUF played the Ant-eaters earlier this season
in Irvine, where the Titans were swept 7-0. Although the Titans lost in convinc-ing fashion on March 4, the Titans can take a lot of pos-itives in preparation for Fri-day’s match.
In that earlier contest, the Titans were unable to se-cure the doubles point, as they lost two of the three sets. However, the No. 2 doubles team of Danielle Pham and Alexis Valenzue-la dominated their set, win-ning 8-2.
Although the Titans were unable to avoid the shut-out last time out, many of the matches had tight set scores, which should give the team hope that an upset
is in the cards. No. 1 sin-gles player Valenzuela lost a first set tiebreaker before dropping the second set 6-3.
Camille De Leon, play-ing in the No. 2 singles slot, won an opening tiebreak-er before losing a tight 6-4 set, followed by a grueling 13-11 set. Even Emilia Bor-kowski and Kalika Slev-cove in the respective No. 5 and 6 spots lost three-set thrillers that could have easily swayed in the Titans’ favor.
Although the Titans go into Friday’s encounter as massive underdogs, they could pull the upset. If the Titans could have won
those close sets in the pre-vious match, the match could have easily gone Ful-lerton’s way.
If they are going to de-feat the Anteaters, the Ti-tans are going to have to play well in the big mo-ments. Even though the score looked lopsided last time against Irvine, the match was much closer than the score suggested. That means CSUF is go-ing to need to play its best, especially during the vital points to reverse the previ-ous outcome.
The Titans come into this match in great form, which should give them even more confidence going up against
the two-seeded Anteaters. If the Titans are able to
upset UC Irvine on Friday, CSUF will play Saturday against either the third-seed in UC Santa Barbara or the Aggies of UC Da-vis, who come in as the six seed.
The tournament gets un-derway Thursday when eighth-seeded Cal Poly San Luis Obispo takes on ninth-seeded UC Riverside to determine who will ad-vance to the quarterfinals.
For the Titans, the tour-nament begins Friday at 8 a.m. and they will hope to keep playing until all the way until Sunday’s champi-onship match.

But now that I’m so close to that decision time, if I was 30 or 40 and I look back and say I quit now, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.
““
The Cal State Fullerton women’s tennis team will be the seventh seed heading into the Big West Championships this weekend at Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The Titans will face the UC Irvine Anteaters in their first round match. CSUF was swept in its previous encounter with UCI this season, but many of the matches went three sets and the Titans stayed competitive throughout.
