Glendale Educator Named Cal State Trustee
A Glendale educator was appointed by Gov. Pete Wilson on Thursday to the board of trustees that governs the 22-campus California State University system.
Alice S. Petrossian, 50, is president of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and is the longtime director of special projects and intercultural education at the Glendale Unified School District.
Also appointed to the 24-member board of trustees were Robert Foster, 50, of Long Beach, and Maridel Moulton, 53, of Moraga.
Foster is senior vice president of public affairs for Edison International and its electric utility subsidiary, Southern California Edison. Moulton is a member of the California Student Aid Commission and chairwoman of EdFund, an entity created by the Legislature last year to improve student-loan processing.
The appointments fill three trustee seats that have been vacant for more than a year, said Cal State spokeswoman Colleen Bentley-Adler. “We are pleased to have a full complement of board members,” she said.
All three appointees can take their seats immediately but must be approved by the state Senate within a year. The Cal State system is headquartered in Long Beach.
