Home Developments

Spring/Summer 2005

It’s a homecoming of sorts for Billie A. Tribbett, Cal State San Bernardino class of 1992, and, for Jeanette Janik, it’s been a home moving.

Named director of development for CSUSB’s College of Business and Public Administration late last year, Tribbett is no stranger, being a resident of San Bernardino and having received her bachelor’s degree from CSUSB in administration with a concentration in information systems management.

She had already been volunteering for the university’s Coyote Athletic Association for more than three years, serving for a time as president. Today, she continues to serve on the association’s advisory board.

A graduate of Chino High School, where she was valedictorian of her class, Tribbett has worked for Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor and retirement planning specialist, as well as an agent for The New York Life Insurance Company and NYLIFE Securities. She’s also worked as a branch manager for Commonwealth United Mortgage. At Morgan Stanley she was also recognized with the National Sales Directors Award for Outstanding Production.

After being named development director for the Palm Desert Campus, Jeanette Janik spent a good part of the early winter moving her office from the main campus to the PDC. For the past three years she’d held the same position in the College of Arts and Letters at the university’s San Bernardino campus.

Prior to joining CSUSB in 2002, Janik worked in fund development for nonprofit organizations and in higher education for more than 15 years. At Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, for example, she served as assistant vice president for university advancement.

Among Janik’s first responsibilities is to assist with the Palm Desert Campus’ capital campaign to raise more than $10 million for construction of a health sciences building.
