Jack Bedell, professor of sociology and 2004-06 Academic Senate chair, left the stage to be close to the graduating students during the May 27-28 universitywide commencement ceremony. "Your faculty have great hopes for you," the veteran faculty member told the graduates. "If anybody ever, ever tell you that you can't do something, say that you can because you graduated from Cal State Fullerton. Your education has helped you make good choices and to focus on the right issues."
