I believe deeply that this project within our reach advances our mission and takes us to that next higher level. Please understand that this training center is about more than soccer and tennis, cycling and jogging. It is about opportunity, the opportunity we have to improve our existing facilities, to expand our program for our campus and our community, to build a solid financial foundation for this university that not only supports this institution but also defines what we are. We are Cal State Dominguez Hills, a center of quality teaching and quality learning and quality service to our communities. I know you have concerns that our quality of life will be disturbed.
Growth brings growing pains.
But I want you to remember that I work here, too, and I live across the street. So, whatever happens on our campus impacts my quality of life 24 hours a day. To address your concerns about noise and traffic and health and safety, we are now in the environmental impact report process that will identify those issues - and resolve them as well. We have them in place. We will have an endowment.
