pipeline.
A California University of Management
and Sciences quarterly publication.
Summer 2014 - Volume 4, Issue 3
elcome to the Summer Quarter of 2014!
My name is Andrew Press and I am
the new Director of Student Services.
Along with this exciting new position,
comes the equally exciting task of editing
the newsletter. It has been a lot of hard work, and
some great collaboration from our staff, but we have
accomplished our goal of producing an exciting new
version of “Pipeline”.
Starting this position near the end of the
Spring Quarter presented the daunting task of si-
multaneously learning about and completing the
newsletter. Thankfully, we had a great team in place
to walk me through the process. Former editor Janet
Laurin has provided immeasurable insight on how
to structure and coordinate the issue. Writers and
contributorsAlenaMartynenko,SumukhiMoses, and
Sravanthi Bheemcherla have provided their time
and experience in producing the content for our issue.
And Larry De Jesus, a newcomer like me, has provided
incredible work as our new graphic designer. It is
clear to me that the success of this issue of “Pipeline”
is due entirely to our hard-working staff, whose
time and energy provides the backbone for this en-
tire operation.
Looking forward, I’m excited about the
possibilities of where our newsletter can go. I believe
we are surrounded with experienced staff coupled
with great ideas about how our newsletter should
look and what should go into it. It is my intention to
continue to make “Pipeline” a more collaborative ef-
fort between our staff and our student body. On that
note, if any students wish to be a part of the process,
or have any ideas for articles, please don’t hesitate
to find me. I’ll be in my office on the first floor, and
I look forward to having the chance to get to know
more of our student body.

hat would you feel if you were given a
task to build a tower from paper within
20 minutes? Frustrated. That is what I
felt, at least initially!
Mrs. Jerene Baglin gave this seemingly impos-
sible challenge in our Organizational Behavior class
last quarter. At first, I was thinking why should we
do this? Is it even possible to create a tower in a
short amount of time with four other members in a
group? However, after processing those thoughts, I
finally realized what we were doing. It came to my
realization that the whole point of this challenge
was to find out how different people would handle
and react to a time-constrained situation. This im-
promptu challenge was also meant to ignite one’s
creative mind and combine them with other mem-
bers to come up with a final solution.
In the end, this exercise turned out to be
more fun and rewarding than I thought. Each team
created different towers and shared their experi-
ences. All students explained their ideas and the
challenges they faced, and how they brilliantly
resolved them. The challenge simply provided us
practical training and knowledge about important
organizational behavior to prepare us in the real
world. This knowledge includes time management
and delegation of tasks, negotiation and communi-
cation as well as diverse workgroup management.
I would definitely recommend this experiment and
course to all MBA students!

See you guys
around the
campus!
Just like any other skill that you might have
learned and mastered, public speaking is a learnable
skill. The only two fears humans are born with are
the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. Every
other fear is learned, including the fear of public
speaking. Unfortunately, according to the World
Health Organization, an estimated 75% of the world’s
population ranks the fear of public speaking higher
than the fear of death.
With well over
200,000 members
worldwide, Toastmas-
ters International is the
leading organization
dedicated to making a
better leader and com-
municator out of you. If
you already have much
experience in public
speaking, you can al-
ways better your best.
Become a Better Communicator and Leader
ave you ever seen someone
speaking in public and
you somehow felt a con-
nection to his or her mes-
sage?
Check out our website at www.allnationsclub.org or find
us on Facebook (Search All Nations Toastmasters Club).
To practice your public speaking skills
in a judgment free and supportive environ-
ment, overcome your fears, and receive sup-
port from a warm community, visit the All
Nations Toastmasters Club. The All Nations
Toastmasters Club meets every Saturday from
11:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Come as a guest and
you will have the chance to fulfill various
speech and leadership roles with support from
experienced mentors. Our meeting venue is
721 North Euclid Street, Anaheim, California,
92801 - Room 304.

4. Our college has a lot of international students. What is
your advice to help them adjust to the US culture?
Dr. Park – The only way to adjust with the culture
in a foreign land is to get away from people coming
from your own country and start moving with the
local people. Generally people will feel comfortable
moving with their own people; try to come out of
that comfort zone and don’t be afraid to explore
new things. I did the same when I went to Korea for
my medical studies. Since I was born in US, I didn’t
know much about Korean culture. So, I stopped
speaking English. I made lot of Korean friends
and tried speaking Korean with them. Eventually
in 2 years, I started speaking Korean fluently and
learned a lot about Korean culture. So be bold and
face the challenge; gradually you will succeed.
What do you think that students should do to develop
their personality apart from education?
Dr. Park – Find your strength and develop it. Be con-
fident and always have a positive attitude towards
anything you do in your life. Even if you are afraid
inside, find a way to hide it, so that others will not
find out. Especially in US, people see your outside
personality rather than trying to find who you are
from inside or your real personality. As I said earlier
always be bold and explore new things.
Having a father from academic background, what
have you learned from him?
Dr. Park – I learned work ethics and dedication to-
wards my profession from him. Right from my child-
hoodIhave seen my father (CALUMS President–Dr.
David Park) working hard with full dedication and
commitment. At this age, still, my father is working
very hard for the betterment of this college and I
would say he enjoys doing it.
What do you like to do in your leisure time?
Dr. Park – I don’t have much leisure time now a days
because I have to work in college here and South
Baylo University and also, I have to take care of my
medical office. In spite of all these commitments, if
I find time, I like to go for some golf.
“Find your
strength and
develop it.”
FEATURED ARTICLE 06
octor Arthur
Park, son of
C A L U M S ’
President Dr.
David Park, is an
obstetrician-gynecologist
in Bakersfield. He received
his medical degree from
Yonsei University College
of Medicine in Korea and
has been in practice for 30
years. Along with the man-
agement team, he is work-
ing on a strategic plan to
improve the facilities and
educational quality of our
university by introducing
more advanced courses
that will cater to the needs
of undergraduate and grad-
uate students from various
disciplines.
Could you tell us about your future plans for
CALUMS?
Dr. Park – We are planning to expand the college by
introducing more courses in different fields of stud-
ies and also working on improving the infrastruc-
tural facilities available in the college. Right now
we are focusing on recruiting more efficient people
andfacultiestorunthecollege.
We have decided to install
more computers in the lab
and introduce technology
related training/certification
courses. And also, Dr. Safar
is working towards starting
an exclusive finance depart-
ment by introducing more
finance related courses for
undergraduate and graduate
students.
Where do you want CALUMS
to be 5 years from now?
Dr. Park – The college man-
agement has decided and
is in the process getting a
building in LA to start a
branch of CALUMS. Initially
we are planning to start it as an add-on campus and
gradually improve it by introducing new and bigger
programs. The main purpose of this decision is to
attract more local students. To achieve this, first we
need to improve the quality of service and provide
more facilities. Also, we are working towards get-
ting government grants, which are not very easy to
get. So currently, we are concentrating on improv-
ing our quality of service.

5. have been given the opportunity of
pursuing mymaster’sdegreeinCalifor-
nia, United States when I came here
to study in 2011. CALUMS has proven
to be a great platform for international
students offering affordable tuition and costs in a
place with very diverse cultures.
I studied Master of Business Administra-
tion (M.B.A.), worked under a CPT program while
at school and continued working for the same
company after graduation under the one-year
Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. I am
lucky enough to have found the right company,
and have worked with incredible colleagues and
a good mentor. My job has so far exposed me to
the manufacturing and entertainment industries
in Los Angeles. I am always grateful to CALUMS
and this country for the rich experiences and vast
opportunities for my career growth.
California is such an exciting place with a
great climate of warmer winters and substantially
cooler summers. Options for travel and exploration
are just limitless both within the state and other
49 states of the country.
I wish everyone a cozy and happy summer!

arth Day is celebrated every year on April
22, to serve as a wake-up call to protect
our environment. This event aims to re-
mind us that we only we have one world
to live in and we must act now to save it
from global warming.
Earth Day was first observed in the year 1970
and is now celebrated in more than 192 countries around
the globe. The Earth Day celebration typically includes
activities such as educational lectures given by experts
in various environmental fields, garbage and litter pick-
up by students along the city roads and highways, and
most of all tree planting in parks and nearby communi-
ties. Nonetheless, you don’t have to wait for Earth Day
to join in. Every small action we take each day such
as disposing garbage properly, recycling, and carpooling
really goes a long way. So, what are you waiting for? Do
your part now!

ow do you engage students of
non-technology majors?
Prof. Wimberly – I tell and
show them how technology
affects, shapes, and changes
their lives no matter what major they are in.
We live in an Information age and they need
to understand the basics of the technology
world and will need to work with technology
personnel. So, they need a common base lan-
guage for good and effective communication.
I try to relate it to their real everyday lives.
What are some good teaching styles?
Prof. Wimberly – I do listen to my students
feedback and make changes, as possible, to
my courses each quarter and sometimes
even during the quarter. I think all teachers
owe their students a fair grade that they
have earned. I am considered a hard teacher,
but if my students learn and grow then I am
OK with that. As far as I know I am the only
teacher at CALUMS that has had the Com-
mencement Speech based on what a par-
ticular student learned in my class and how
it shaped and changed her life; that is what
we teach for – to help others live a better life.
Could you share some of your work experience
in different fields?
Prof. Wimberly – I am most proud of my
teaching experience and that is really what
I love to do vs. do to live. I have been a de-
veloper for different schools as well. I have
been an on-the-job Trainer for several com-
panies. I am also very lucky to have worked
on the Space Shuttle. Maybe the two jobs I
loved most was working for AST computers
and the US Forest Service – because I had
the greatest bosses ever at these two places.
And I have been lucky enough to have made
a real difference at several companies I have
worked for saving them hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars or improving their process,
etc.
Which places do you like most to go for horse
riding?
Prof. Wimberly – My own neighborhood
(OPA) is one of the best urban areas in the
country. I also love to ride in New Mexico,
Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, and want to do a
cattle drive in Montana. I like to ride in wide
open country.

ield trips provide valuable practical learning experience to rein-
forcethetheoriestaught inside the classroom. Concepts alone
are sometimes not enough to be successful in any profes-
sion, so we have to experience how they are actually applied.
That is why Professor Ramon Baltazar takes his Operations Man-
agement and Control students to a factory field trip every quarter.
For the Spring Quarter 2014, Professor Baltazar’s class
went for a trip to Fender Factory located in Corona,
California.
Fender is a brand recognized all around the world and is an excellent
example of process management. During the trip at the factory, students
were able to witness the different phases of manufacturing guitars. They
were escorted by a Fender-fan guide to almost all the production departments
while explaining the nuances for each product. The most surprising part of the
excursion was to see how the guitars were dried after they had been painted.
Newly painted guitars are hung up in the ceiling of the factory to save workspace.
Fender’s custom shop is also a must see place for guitar-lovers. The custom
shop is full of individualized orders made by highly skilled professional guitar
builders who are all very pleasant to meet. The guitars are artistically crafted to
perfec- tion, which makes this product so popular among the musicians.
