University Comes Together to Celebrate President Willie J. Hagan

President Willie J. Hagan inadvertently became an audience of one when he stepped out of the elevator on the second floor of the Loker Student Union into a well-choreographed flash mob on the way to his retirement party on May 9 at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Made up of dance students and volunteers, the flash mob continued to sing and dance around Hagan as they escorted him into the party, where he was greeted by hundreds of faculty and staff members there to wish him well and celebrate CSUDH’s six years of growth and achievement under his leadership.
