GEORGE JOUGANATOS, economics, has
been working as a consultant and expert

In the News
ARTHUR WILLIAMSON, history, was
interviewed in October on Lithuanian
television. In the interview, he
contrasted Lenin’s efforts to create a
trans-national state with the objectives
of inter-war Lithuanian leaders such
as Antanas Smetona and contemporary,
post-Soviet political figures in
Lithuania.
JIM HERNANDEZ, criminal justice,
appeared in a Feb. 11 story by Fox 40
news on the increase of police chases.
Scott Steele, the new director of
development for the College of
Business Administration, is pumped
up about what students can contribute
to Sacramento business.
“I think the College is one of the
best kept secrets in the whole region,”
Steele said.
Worthy of note is the College’s
Center for Small Business, Steele said.
Local businesses needing help
designing a marketing or business plan
can receive specialized assistance
from some of the College’s students
and faculty. That’s a little-known
resource that should really help his
fund-raising efforts, Steele said. “It’s
my task to get the word out to enhance
an already good reputation.”
Steele’s work as an admissions
director for the University of Southern
California brought him to the area
about four years ago. Several years
with the American Heart Association
and USC alumni relations before that
gives Steele a strong background in
development.
RICHARD ADAMS, English, was
interviewed by KXTV Channel 10 for
a Feb. 10 story, related to the movie
Shakespeare in Love, about why
Shakespeare is still relevant.
AYAD AL QAZZAZ, sociology, was

KFBK Radio on Feb. 5 about the
impending death of Jordan’s King
Hussein.
HENRY CHAMBERS, history, was
interviewed twice in December by
KOVR Channel 13 on the renewed Iraq
bombing. He was also interviewed by
KXPR Public Radio on Iraq, and in
January on King Hussein’s death. In
mid-December KXPR Public Radio
aired a half-hour discussion with
Chambers and a Green Party member
on the Iraq bombing, Islam, and the
impeachment crisis.
MICHAEL TOTARO, M.D., health center,
was quoted in the February issue of
Sacramento Magazine in a piece about
how cold germs are spread from
person to person.

“Access to higher education is
critical and the opportunity to promote
education to other people is important,”
said Steele. “I enjoy being in this
environment with faculty and students.“

as a guest on Soapbox, a talk show on

topic was the economy and the
impeachment process.
be his biggest challenge, said Steele.
Many people are not aware that CSUs
still must raise 10 percent of their
budget privately. “My job is to make
those linkages so it’s a win-win
situation for both the donor and the
institution.”
Steele received his bachelor’s
degree from USC in Los Angeles,
where he also completed MBA and
Public Administration courses toward
his master’s degree.
Steele lives in Elk Grove with his
wife, Elizabeth, son Christopher, 8,
and daughter Allison, 5. A big fan of
college athletics, Steele helps coach
his son’s soccer teams.
After a family illness, Steele
became involved with the Leukemia
Society of America and now serves on
its board of trustees. That experience
has helped him learn to take advantage
of the joys each day brings, he
said.
“Life is not a dress rehearsal – it’s
the real deal.”
