Business school acquires
By Tim Hurrianko
Staff Writer
A business development officer has
been hired to help the School of Business
and Administrative Sciences increase its
interaction with outside business.
Belle Thnkle, who was chosen from 50
applicants, has had extensive experience
in private business and will work as a
liaison for the Valley Business Center,
according to Dr. Richard L. Pinkerton,
director of the Valley Business Center.
"We were looking for someone who had
an established network of contacts and
knew the right approach in dealing with
businesses," said Pinkerton.
For the next six months, Trinkle will
work with Joseph Penbera, dean of
SOBAS, to learn procedures and fund-
raising activities with which she will be
involved.
After her orientation period, Trinkle
will work with Pinkerton on contact re¬
search, seminars and fund-raising for the
entire CSUF campus.
"I'm really excited to be working with
Dean Penbera," Trinkle said. "The dean
and faculty are very aggressive and have
many different projects coming up."
Trinkle has had experience in the sav-
ings-and-loan industry and was also a
liaison for the United States Army-Navy-
Air Force Research and Development
Systems Command, in addition to wor¬
king for Iowa State University.
Pinkerton and Trinkle said they will
attempt to draw outside businesses into
the CSUF framework so students will
have a chance to attend seminars and
workshops showing how private industry
operates.
The Valley Business Center will work
toward attracting not only Fresno-based
and national businesses, but international
businesses as Well.
To do this, CSUF is building the $12
million Leon S. Peters Business Building,
tentatively shceduled for a February 1987
groundbreaking. The building will pro¬
vide a corporate headquarters for faculty,
students and community business leaders.
The building is being constructed with
$9.7 million in state funds and $2.3 million
in private gifts. A special wing will house
the Valley Business Center.
Some of Trinkle's duties in the new
facijity will be to help coordinate an ever-
expanding series of seminars, symposia
and classes'tailored to the needs of every
interested enterprise in the area, she said.
Trinkle has lived in Fresno for 14 years.
She was with Home Savings and Loan for
five and one-half years before accepting
the $30,000- a- year- position with CSU F.
Her present community involvement
includes: vice president of the Fresno
County and City Chamber of Commerce,
president of KVPR-Valley Public Radio,
and the California State University Bus¬
iness Advisory Council, plus a list of other
activities that have helped her establish an
extensive "network of contacts.'7

The recruiters encourage the students to
attend CSUF for their undergraduate
work, Pineda said.
To accomplish the second objective, he
said, "We provide them with a variety of
support services to assist them while they
are going through their undergraduate
work here at Fresno State."
For example, HCOP sponsors a Sum¬
mer Enrichment Program for students to
attend the summer before their first
semester at CSU F. The program lasts four
.to five weeks and is designed to give the
students the taste of what college life will
be like—what expectations will be—and it
gives them a chance to become familiar
with the classes, the faculty and the
campus.
During the .school year HCOP provides
its students with tutorial services; spon¬
sors conferences and workshops which
range from enhancing study skills to pre¬
paring for graduate science program or
medical school admissions test; brings
guest speakers to campus, including pro¬
fessionals in the health-care facilities and
medical schools throughout the state. In
addition, faculty advisers are assigned to
the students to provide counseling and
monitor the progress.
Many of these programs and services
are made possible by an additional grant
of about $14,400 from the state govern¬
ment, Pineda said, and by the combined
efforts of CSUF faculty and administra¬
tion, the School of Natural Sciences, and
local health-care professionals.
HCOP began in 1981 as a joint effort of
the University of California at San Fran¬
cisco and CSUF. A three-year federal
grant was awarded'the UCSF Medical
School to help fund the program, and
Pineda, then a UCSF employee, came to
CSUF to direct the program. ,
CSUF was chosen for the program.
Pineda said, because of the diverse ethnic
representation on the campus and the
commitment of the administration and
the School of Natural'Sciences to the
goals of the program.
When the grant ended in 1984, funding
for the program was maintained at first by
contributions from CSUF and UCSF,
and last the cost. This year's $340,000
grant marks the first time federal funds
have come directly to CSUF for thc
program.
The number of students served by HCOP
has grown considerably over the years. In
1981, there were 17 students in the pro¬
gram; this year there are between 100 and
125, ranging from freshmen to seniors.
"Our services arc varied to meet of both
upper division and lower division stu¬
dents," Pineda said.
HCOP has been successful in sending
its graduates to major medical and gradu¬
ate science schools, Pineda said. As proof
of this success, he said all nine graduates
from the program last year were accepted
into major universities: three into medical
schools, one into dental school, one into
veterinary school, two into graduate
science programs, and one into a public
health program.
"Our success rate is quite high," Pineda
said. "If not 100 percent, then very close to
100 percent."
Students in HCOP were as positive
about thc program as Pineda.
"It's been a great motivating vehicle for
me," said Lori Romero, a senior who
hopes to attend medical scho'bl next year.
"It's been so beneficial it goes beyond
words."
"Ifj4 wasn't for HCOP, I'd oe lost right
now," said Bernice Whittle, who wants to
Become a physician. "It would have taken
me longer to adjust to college and get
serious about what 1 wanted to do with my
life." f
