On
December 17, 1959, the State of California decided on Hayward
as the site of its newest State College. The
people of Hayward
celebrated with a parade down "B" Street led by the
Hayward Municipal Band and a glittering sign announcing
"Hayward
Has A State College."
Civic and business leaders were elated that the
five-year struggle was
over. Now the focus could shift to building the College.
Thus began the many years of support by Hayward leaders
and residents for the State University that bears its name -
California
State University, Hayward.
From
1959 until the campus dedication in 1963, College classes were
held at both Sunset High School and the original Hayward High School.
City funds augmented State funds to make the infrastructure improvements
needed for the new campus.
The City, the Daily Review and Hayward residents even campaigned for a name
change that pinpointed the location of the College. On July 19, 1963, the Board
of Trustees
of the California State Colleges approved the new name as California State
College at Hayward - or as it would be familiarly known -
Cal State Hayward.
Hayward is known as the “Heart of the Bay” - conveniently
accessible from any area of the region. “Hayward” is a city with a proud history
that has included having a state university stamped with the Hayward name for
over 40 years.
Hayward is a vibrant and growing city. It has an ethnically
diverse community, a healthy business sector from biotechnology to light manufacturing,
a revitalized and transit-oriented downtown, and a thriving housing market.
To delete "Hayward" from California State University,
Hayward will dishonor
and dismiss the contribution that the Hayward Community has and continues to
make to the university, and to the many thousands who regard CSUH as
their alma mater.
