A reception was held on November 29th, 2012 to thank the Rowlands family for their generous donation to the the University Libraries of CSU East Bay. Their donation has established a permanent research collection relating to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal at the CSUEB Concord Campus. Twenty-two of the Rowlands family joined campus administration, faculty, staff and students to celebrate the creation of the collection.
