Message from Chair

Dear Graduates,
It is my utmost pride, as the chair of Religious Studies Department, and on behalf of all the faculty, to extend my warmest and heartfelt congratulations to you and your loved ones for this momentous step of graduating from CSUF with a BA degree. You also have to be proud of your achievements. For it is YOU who made this dream come true on your own, regardless of everybody’s assistance. I wish you a great success in all your endeavors and a long bright future ahead. It was a pleasure to play a small part in your life.
