A car built for Beau
Three Fresno State students designed and built a custom toy car for 6-year-old Beau Bewarder, who has a rare neurological disorder affecting his mobility. Over 13 weeks, the students created features tailored to Beau’s needs, including a custom steering wheel, footrest and handle for his parents. The project gave the students hands-on experience applying their engineering and construction skills to an accessibility challenge — while giving Beau a one-of-a-kind ride of his own.
College Baseball Hall of Fame
Fresno State alumnus Bobby Jones was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. Jones was the 1991 NCAA Player of the Year at Fresno State, leading the Diamond ’Dogs to the College World Series with a 16-2 record and 1.88 earned-run average. He is the second Diamond ’Dog to be inducted, joining his former coach, Bob Bennett. A first-round pick by the New York Mets, Jones played 10 years in the majors and was an all-star in 1997.
Bulldog Bound expands
Fresno State expanded its Bulldog Bound program to include community colleges, creating new pathways for transfer students across the Central Valley. The program provides participating students with guaranteed admission, personalized support and access to resources designed to help them successfully transition to Fresno State and complete their degrees.
Judge on the cover
It’s OK to judge this game by its cover – Fresno State alumnus Aaron Judge graced the cover of MLB The Show for the second time in his career. The three-time American League MVP is pictured on the cover in his Fresno State, Team USA and New York Yankees uniforms. The game’s release coincided with the World Baseball Cup, as Judge captained Team USA.
