Milton Gordon, Ph.D. MATH ’68, Santa Ana, Calif., fourth president of California State University, Fullerton, was the longest-serving president in the history of the Fullerton campus. During Gordon’s more than 21-year tenure, the student body grew from 25,600 to greater than 36,000, and the number of academic degree programs increased from 91 to 104. The Fullerton campus also became more diverse. In 1990 students of color comprised 31 percent; when Gordon retired 12 years later that number had risen to 57 percent. The university also underwent its most ambitious construction period, adding 22 buildings during his tenure. Before joining CSU in 1990, Gordon held administrative and academic positions at several institutions of higher learning, including Sonoma State University, Loyola University Chicago, and Illinois Tech, where he served as a mathematics instructor.
