On Friday, September 7, 2007, we welcomed NJIT's Division 1 men's soccer team to San Diego by attending their match verus San Diego State University.  Among the alumni in attendance were several NJIT team members of the 50's, 60's and 70's, along with retired coach Mal Simon.

On Saturday evening, September 8th, the Committee hosted a reception at the Kona Kai Resort on Shelter Island for 24 students of the NJIT soccer team, soccer coach Pedro Lopes, and university president Robert Altenkirch.  The event was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the students and network with fellow California alums.

Also joining us at the reception was Phil Goode, Director of the Big Bear Solar Observatory (operated by NJIT).  Dr. Goode provided a brief presentation on their new Solar Telescope, the world's largest solar telescope.

On Sunday afternoon of September 9, 2007, the Club organized a tailgating/reception at the University of San Diego prior to the team's match against University of San Diego.  It was a spirited game, alas NJIT was not the victor.
