CSUSM's legislative strategy includes providing briefings to our elected officials. Newly elected Assembly Member Rocky Chavez visited campus in late January for a briefing and update from President Haynes and University Advancement Vice President Neal Hoss. Assembly Member Chavez represents the 76th Assembly District, which includes Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad and Encinitas. He serves as vice chair of the Assembly Veterans Affairs Committee and Higher Education Committee and is also a member of the Education, Budget, and Water, Parks and Wildlife Committees. In February 2013, Assemblyman Chavez was appointed to the California Task Force on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education.
