Cal State San Marcos’ signature Report to the Community event returned Thursday after a one-year hiatus. As President Ellen Neufeldt explained, however, there was a good reason for the break. She effectively took Report to the Community off campus for a road show last year. On Thursday, though, Report to the Community was back on familiar ground – at the Sports Center, where more than 350 business, education, government and nonprofit leaders from North County and beyond gathered to hear Neufeldt’s annual address, her eighth since being hired as CSUSM’s president in 2019.

Music professor Merryl Goldberg has turned an amazing tale into her first book (non-textbook category), “Notes of Deception: How a Quartet of American Musicians Outwitted the KGB,” released Aug. 25 by HarperCollins, one of the largest book publishers in the world. The book – co-written with Vince Houghton, director of the National Security Agency’s National Cryptologic Museum – chronicles an almost-too-bizarre-to-be-believed episode from the mid-1980s, years before Goldberg joined the faculty at CSUSM.
“I had been sitting on the story for decades,” Goldberg said. “I didn’t realize the extent to which people would be really interested.”
