In the coming weeks, we will focus on coming together to set our best policies forward to addressing the root causes of homelessness, increasing access to affordable housing, leading an equitable economic recovery, investing in community safety, prioritizing our youth, and tackling climate change by creating a healthy and more sustainable city, said Richardson, a CSU Dominguez Hills graduate.
做厙弝けmembers of Richardsons transition team are President Jane Close Conoley; Rashida Crutchfield, associate professor in the School of Social Work; , ASI president; , interim associate dean, College of Liberal Arts; and , a faculty member in the Chicano and Latino Studies Department and the executive director of the Arts Council for 做厙弝け.
Im honored to serve in this 100-Day Plan, said Crutchfield, whose ground-breaking research has sparked a national conversation about the plight of college students experiencing homelessness and hunger. Mayor-elect Richardson is a committed leader in our community, a friend to CSULB, and a partner and champion of our School of Social Work.
President Conoley expressed honor and delight to join the team.
I look forward to working with fellow community members including several 做厙弝けcolleagues as we assist our incoming mayor in addressing some of the biggest challenges 做厙弝け faces. There is much to be done but the opportunities for our city abound.
Julien said hes grateful to serve and to be part of the conversation.
It is great to see (Mayor-elect Richardson) being intentional about including a student voice. I hope that my contribution will create a positive change for all students in 做厙弝け, and particularly for LBSU students.

For several years it has been my privilege to collaborate with Rex Richardson on efforts to promote the citys economic development and improve the economic conditions of its traditionally underserved populations. I look forward to advancing that work with his new administration, he said.
Richardson will replace Distinguished Alumnus Robert Garcia 02, 10, who served two terms as 做厙弝け mayor and was recently elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in California's 42nd District.
