The California State University system's top official made the rounds of the Chico State University campus Wednesday, soaking in the spring sunshine and learning about the campus' strengths and weaknesses. Timothy White took over as chancellor of the 23-campus system in December and plans to visit each campus. Most recently he was president of the University of Idaho, and was an instructor at UC Berkeley, among other posts. While in Chico he met with President Paul Zingg, staff, teachers, students and alumni and learned the college is well regarded and "intellectually engaged." When talking with students, he said the majority of the conversation was about efforts to curb alcohol abuse.
