Devoted Coyotes join Alumni Relations
Alumni Relations recently welcomed two employees with rich Coyote backgrounds: Crystal Wymer-Lucero and Michael Arteaga.
After graduating from Cal State San Bernardino with a bachelor’s in communication studies and then working at her alma mater for more than 12 years, Wymer-Lucero was appointed director of Alumni Relations in December 2017.
Wymer-Lucero most recently served as the alumni engagement director and previously served as the development and special events coordinator in Intercollegiate Athletics as well as the information security awareness coordinator in the Division of Information Technology Services.
“CSUSB has a vibrant, talented and diverse alumni community in all 50 states and 43 counties,” said Wymer-Lucero, “and working to strengthen ties to CSUSB no matter where our alumni reside will truly be fulfilling and rewarding.”
Alumni Relations also welcomed CSUSB alumnus Michael Arteaga to the team. Arteaga, who graduated with a bachelor’s in business management with a minor in public relations in 2010 and a master’s in communication studies in 2017, worked in the CSUSB special events office prior to accepting his new role as alumni engagement specialist in April.
“Mike’s knowledge of campus, connections built through his long working relationships, community involvement, and high involvement as a student will be invaluable as he takes on the role of alumni engagement specialist,” said Wymer-Lucero.
Arteaga will work on new strategies to engage CSUSB’s 100,000 alumni and head programs such as Professor for a Day and the Workshop Series.
“I am really excited to network with my fellow alumni and share all the great opportunities that Alumni Relations and CSUSB has for them to re-engage with the campus,” Arteaga said. “I hope to bring new ideas to the table and build on current opportunities. I am looking forward to working with the alumni affinity chapters to help make their goals a reality.”
