The California State University Board of Trustees today appointed Ronald Rochon as president of California State University, Fullerton.
Rochon is currently president of the University of Southern Indiana and will step into his new role on July 22.
He succeeds Sylvia Alva who has served as interim president since last August.
Former CSUF President Fram Virjee said that he looks forward to seeing Rochon “take CSUF to the next level.”
“I am both grateful and extremely excited that Ron has been named the next President of my beloved Cal State Fullerton. I know him well. He is a person of strong intellect, deep commitment and boundless energy,” Virjee told the Business Journal.
“More importantly, he and his wife Lynn are just good humans who care for and believe in building community and the future.”
