Fresno State Centennial

Leadership

The presidents are listed below in order of tenure from left to right:

Being there when everyone gave Steve Coupland – probably the greatest water polo player in Fresno State history – a standing ovation at the end of his last game as a Bulldog.

Dan Waterhouse, B.S. Business 1978
My fondest memory is the time I was introduced to the girl that would later become my wife. Thank goodness for my graduating from Fresno State and to have met my wife and partner.

Steven Schleikorn, B.S. Business 1985
As a child, my mother used to take me out to visit the animals and picnic at O'Neill Park. I remember thinking what a magical thing it was to have a farm right in the middle of the city… and it still is!

Tracy Newel, M.B.A. '11 • Staff '07 - present
My mother, Amelia Hansen, earned a teaching credential from Fresno Normal School in 1921. She went on to teach at the two-room American Colony elementary school. She earned $1,200 - per year!
