Hayward university welcomes new president

An East Bay woman has been named the new president of Hayward and Concord campuses of California State University.

Officials at the university have announced that Cathy Sandeen will begin her new duties in early 2021. Sandeen will be leaving her current role at the Anchorage campus of the University of Alaska, where she has been chancellor since 2018.

Born in Oakland, Sandeen is the first person in her family to get a college degree. It is perhaps this reason why she is so passionate about post-secondary education. Her credentials are long, with a degree from Humboldt State University, and a broadcast communications master’s degree from San Francisco State University. The list also includes an MBA from the University of California Los Angeles and a doctorate in communications from the University of Utah.

Her career in education administration began in 2014 with a chancellorship at the University of Wisconsin Colleges and University of Wisconsin-Extension. She moved to her current role in Alaska in 2018.

According to a CSU East Bay official, Sandeen matched the university’s commitment to “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Sandeen will start her new job on January 4, 2021. When positions are filled with new people, whether at schools or businesses, there is a need for new Business Cards and Stationery.

CSU, East Bay’s Hayward campus is located at 25800 Carlos Bee Blvd.
