“Overall recipient as the distinguished alumnus/alumna. This black tie event is first class and shows the community our commitment to excellence. During this event we will also recognize the fresno state alumni association's scholarship winners. Grad fest-all students who are eligible to graduate are invited to grad fest. They are encouraged to support the alumni association and given discounts for on-campus purchases of cap and gowns, alumni merchandise, and off-campus benefits. Hopefully, this will keep them in touch with the alumni association after graduation, therefore keeping them informed of campus activities. The bulldog byte e-newsletter is sent throughout the year to members and non-members as a way to let people know what is happening on campus and in the community. Chapter and club events-the alumni association's chapters and clubs also sponsor many events throughout the year to foster alumni ties and to bring attention to the alumni association program. Events include, but are not limited to golf tournaments, wine tastings, tailgates, conferences and award functions.”

“Prior period adjustments: during the year ended 6-30-14 the organization determined that the funds of the chapters/clubs that were being governed by the organization should be classified as part of fund balance rather than as a liability. The effect of this change was to reclassify 129,593 reported on the 6-30-13 tax return from liabilities to fund balance.”
