LBPOST: Event Honoring Former CSULB President's Life Set for April 30

A public Celebration of Life remembering the late Steve Horn, former president of Cal State Long Beach and U.S. congressman, is being planned for Saturday, April 30, at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center.

Horn passed away at his home in Long Beach on Feb. 17 due to complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. He was 79. Click here to read the Long Beach Post's previous coverage of Horn's death.

The university's third president, Horn lead the campus for 18 years, during which time the university grew in stature and distinction. His tenure from 1970 to 1988 proved to be a time of growth for the university, both in terms of academic programs and services, as well as physical facilities on the campus.  

Horn strengthened existing academic programs, reformed the general education requirements and initiated several innovative programs at CSULB, including an honors program; the student internship program; student learning assistance; Senior University, which is now known as Osher Lifelong Learning Institute; and the Disabled Student Resources Center.

The physical aesthetic of the university also took shape under his direction. Several campus facilities were erected while he was at CSULB''s helm. Among them are the Social Services and Public Administration building, Brotman Hall, the Engineering and Computer Sciences complex, Ithe Music complex, International House, Parkside Residence Halls and the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden.
