Hi, I\u2019m Amy Reichbach.\u00a0 I am an alum of Cal State University Northridge.\u00a0 I graduated in 1977.\u00a0 I now work here as a health educator in the Klotz Student Health Center.\u00a0 I love being a health educator.\u00a0 I have contacts with students from \u2013 I\u2019ve been here 19 years now as a staff member \u2013 I still have contacts from at least 12 to 15 years ago.\u00a0 Students stay in touch with me.\u00a0 People still say, you know, \u201cYou made a difference in my life,\u201d and that\u2019s what I like about my job.<\/p>\n

I think the other thing that helped motivate me was when I came here, one of my mentors was the woman for whom the Health Center is named, Addie Lou Klotz, and I met her through my journalism teacher . . . I met her when I was still in high school, and she encouraged me to come here too, and she encouraged me to be in Health Sciences.\u00a0 She was the first director of the Student Health Center here.\u00a0 And so she was the first director.\u00a0\u00a0She mentored me, she taught me a lot about being in health education.\u00a0 She was the first person I knew that had an MPH, a masters in public health, along with her MD degree, and I adored her.\u00a0 I was here for groundbreaking [of the Klotz Health Center], I wanted to come and work for her.<\/p>\n

[Even though CSUN has grown] there are things that galvanize the community.\u00a0 In 1992, I think and again in ’95 I spearheaded a drive to bring the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt to campus, and it was a collaborative effort.\u00a0 The premise had to be that nobody got charged any money to come view the quilt.\u00a0 So everything had to be donated, and what I found in terms of building relationships — from President Blenda Wilson on down, in those days — is it\u2019s still possible to do that, no matter how big you are.\u00a0 I got to know people on all levels, from the custodial staff up to the president\u2019s office, to make this event happen, and everybody cared about it and everybody came.\u00a0 It was possible, even in those times, to build relationships that cross all levels of campus and everybody knew everybody for a common goal.\u00a0 I think those things are still possible, despite how big we are.<\/p>\n

CSUN Stories – Ed Reichbach Interview<\/a><\/p>\n

I am Dr. Edward Reichbach\u00a0(I differ with my daughter, I go with the original Austrian pronunciation).\u00a0 I graduated with a Master\u2019s.\u00a0 I went on and got my doctorate and wound up teaching at Florida International University in Miami, and I credit Cal State Northridge — now — with getting me into administration because that\u2019s what my degree was in, and that helped me immeasurably.<\/p>\n

When I first came here this was a branch of L. A. State College [now CSU Los Angeles]. It was orange groves and Devonshire Downs which was a state or county fairgrounds.\u00a0 It was large tents, tentlike buildings, and all of a sudden there were portables dropped.\u00a0 There were many veterans like myself attending.\u00a0 There were also people who lived at this end of the valley who didn\u2019t want to go all the way back to Vermont Ave. to go back to L.A. State and since the branch was open and it was accredited, we could finish our degrees.\u00a0\u00a0 All this — there were\u00a0 wheat fields along Sepulveda Blvd. and as you climbed the hill, it was ranches, cattle. . .\u00a0And to see a small college starting here was just amazing to me. I always thought this would be rural for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n

I remember Delmar [Oviatt].\u00a0 He was the first Dean of the College of Education —\u00a0I think it was the School of Education, because there were no doctorates at the time.\u00a0 He was open.\u00a0 You could talk to him anytime, because we were small enough.\u00a0 And I remember going up the first time and seeing him and I said \u201cDean how are you?\u201d and he says \u201cWait a minute I remember you, you were down on Vermont,\u201d \u201cyeah right,\u201d and it was just an open, because we were small, everyone knew everybody, so it was really a nice way to fall into graduate school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
