The inside track for Shops employees
Scholarship Deadline is October 1st
If you’re applying for the Student Employee Scholarships, remember to submit your packet before the end of the day on Monday, October 1st to Human Resources. Good luck, applicants!
Coupon Booklets for all!
You may have heard of a 49er Shops coupon book that is in circulation, and we think you should have a few. Yes, you can use them yourselves, but we want our large family of student employees to take a bundle (or a few) to your classes to share the savings with your teachers and students while telling them a little about the Forty-Niner Shops. If you’d like a refresher on who is a part of the team, flip open the inside cover of the booklet and/or check out this video!
Visit the Communications office (by the CCC Production Area inside the Bookstore) to grab more to share in your classes! Questions? Please email the Communications Dept (email below) or call (562) 985-1125 for more info.
Tag, Share, Like, and Follow the Shops
Since this gets emailed out, it’s fairly safe to say you’re reading this on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Many of you probably have Facebook pages and/or Twitter accounts. Since it isn’t really “social media” without being social, visit our pages and give us a like and follow our handles. This isn’t just for your information, but also for your Facebook friends, and to share your support of the Shops online.
Did you take a picture heading into work, on your break, or just feeling like sharing some love? Remember to use hashtags on Instagram and Twitter so we can all join the party!

Cart Safety
A reminder about those who drive electric carts on campus: please be aware to leave accessible pathways when parking. Not only for your safety, but also for others in the large crowds in rushes between classes and for those requiring additional mobility accommodations. All drivers should be certified with Human Resources to have completed Driver Training. If you have not and are required to drive an electric cart, please contact your manager and the HR office.
Take a seat, friends.
At New Hire Orientation (in the Corporate session), we emphasize the importance of reinforcing the human aspect of our organization. It’s easy to forget that the people working next to us are students, parents, athletes, and not “just employees” of the Forty-Niner Shops. One way we share this side of the staff is with the Beach Breeze, another is with the Employee Hot Seat.
Please take a couple minutes to fill out the Hot Seat survey for yourself and send it to FNS-Communications@csulb.edu or contact Marlon directly at Marlon.Deleon@csulb.edu if you have any questions.
