Memories

  • 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. We spent many hours socializing and studying at the USU. Thank goodness for my graduating from Fresno State and to have met my wife and partner.

    Steven Schleikorn, B.S. Business 1985

  • Some of my earliest memories are of Fresno State. As a child, my mother used to take me out to the farm to visit the pigs, cows, sheep, and horses. We'd picnic at O'Neill Park and peek at the baby animals in the springtime. I remember thinking what a magical thing it was to have a farm right in the middle of the city… and it still is!

  • My mother, Amelia Hansen, earned a teaching credential in the two year program from Fresno Normal School in 1921. She went on to teach four grades at the two-room American Colony elementary school. She earned $1,200 - that's per year!
