DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
On Saturday, May 19, 2012,
the 2012 CalUMS gradua-
tion ceremony was held.
We all remember the first
time we contacted CalUMS
to inquire about admission
to the school to further our
education.
You probably first commu-
nicated with Lisa Lee, our
very professional and hard-
working International Stu-
dent Advisor or DJ Johnson,
our fun and energetic re-
cruitment coordinator in
charge of increasing the
school’s student popula-
tion.
We congratulate and honor
all our 2012 graduates. It
takes great commitment
and sacrifice to start and
complete this journey.
Since our graduates are
prepared to face the chal-
lenge of current unfavor-
able economic conditions
felt throughout the world,
this graduation ceremony
is even more significant.
Congratulations to our 2012
graduates!

IMPORTANT DATES / Summer 2012
Was it the weather, the students, or CalUMS
itself? Whatever the reason, the Spring Sports
Get-Together was successful! With more than
one hundred attendees, it was one of the best
attended CalUMS events ever!
But what was the Spring Sports Get-
Together? After studying hard day-after-day,
students tend to lose touch with casual fun.
Some believe that this event was successful
due to our hunger for fun. We are starving to
be innocent again and experience a sunburn
on our face.
The event was hosted in Ralph B. Clark Re-
gional Park in Orange County on the 26th of
May 2012. It started with a warm-up exer-
cise, considered torture in a world where we
only move our fingers on our keyboard. For
the first time in months or years we felt our
heart rate go above 90 beats per minute and
felt warm blood circulating in places we
never thought existed.
After the excruciating fun of the warm-up
exercise, the games started to roll. We
played different sports such as volleyball,
football (called soccer if you are like me),
and other games that will never be present in
the summer Olympics (and trust me, our
games were more fun!) It was refreshing to
see the students lower their defenses and
take off their poker shades to just be them-
selves and laugh for hours of recreation.
A get-together is never complete in my
definition without the magic word
“food.” Food is physiologically needed in
every situation, and the event can give you
atherosclerosis while you burn off serious
calories from the games. “The food was
awesome!” according to Mr. Beasca, the
University’s Director of Administration (and
that is not an exaggeration!) The food
might not have been the highlight of the
event, but it brought everyone together.
Overall the Spring Sports Get-Together
was great. Mr. Beasca thinks the event
should be organized every year for our
students and faculty.
If you attended or missed the event please
share your thoughts and post it on our
Facebook page. We would like to hear
your feedback to help us prepare for next
year.

D.J. joined CalUMS in January 2010. A marketing major at
Pasadena City College in the late 1980s D.J. has an exten-
sive background in marketing, merchandising and manage-
ment. Priding himself in customer service, D.J. has success-
fully owned and managed two retail music and clothing
stores in Fontana and Upland, California from 1996 to 2007.
Unfortunately, due to free music downloads and the reces-
sion, he was forced to close them in early 2008.
After a brief stint of unemployment and a painful divorce
D.J. took a long and painful road to get to CalUMS. However,
you would never know it by his demeanor. Enthusiastic, fun
loving, and always concerned with the needs of students
and others, D.J. realizes that caring, education and profes-
sionalism are keys to the success of CalUMS. Though his
main duty at the school is recruiting, D.J. has managed to
involve himself in everything from making the morning
brew to coordinating and organizing events such as the new
student orientation, open house, SBA events and the quar-
terly student awards ceremony.
D.J. is always ready to help. Come by and say hello!
