A $5 million gift from accounting industry leader Harvey Bookstein and his wife, Harriet — both California State University, Northridge alumni and lifelong supporters of the university — has pushed Â鶹AV over the top in a two-year campaign to raise $25 million for its college of business.
In recognition of the Booksteins’ commitment to Â鶹AV, university officials plan to ask the California State University Board of Trustees to rename Juniper Hall, which houses the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics, to Bookstein Hall in their honor. .
