Subject: Westcliff University- 15101 Red Hill Ave- Letter of Support
Dear Tustin Planning Commission Members,
My name is Josh Rezvani, I am a second year law student at Western State College
of Law, and I am writing to endorse the relocation of Westcliff University and Western
State to 15101 Red Hill Ave.
As a Los Angeles native and now a Tustin resident, I found the city's welcoming and inclusive
community made me feel at home, easing my transition and allowing me to focus fully on my
studies.
The opportunities in Tustin opened doors to jobs that support my legal journey and academic
goals while providing me with practical work experience.
Beyond that, Tustin's parks and community spaces provided a place for me to relax and
recharge, helping me maintain the work-life balance necessary for my academic success.
In short, I am confident that his move will ensure the school's continued success while
creating lasting benefits for the city.
Sincerely,
Josh Rezvani

Dear Tustin Planning COnlnliSSiOO Members,
I @nl writing to eXD[eSS nlV SUDDOrt fO[WeStCliff []OiVe[SitV and Western State College
Of Law moving tO the City Of Tustin @t the 15101 Red Hill Ave location.
I do not live in the City of Tustin, but as the Senior Assistant [}e@O for Student Affairs
at Western State College of Law, I believe that the move tO Tustin will benefit our
current and prospective students in multiple ways. TO nleOtiOO just @ couple, VVe have
some students already living in Tustin, but we also have D[OSDeCtiVe students living
out of the area who will need @ place to "land" when they start l@VV school. in addition,
m@OV Of our current students who live in higher priced lOC@tiOOS who have leases
expiring next summer may also be looking at ODtiOOS that better fit their lifestyle and
budget.
The City of Tustin can be that place as it is f[eeVV@V ClOSe, there is @ great nliX of old
and new, and there amazing options for eating, ShODDiOg and entertainment. I also
noticed from the Cih/'SVVebSite there are also nl@OV ODtiOOS for community
iOVOlV8Dl8Ot. A great thing for our students who are looking for community and public service
opportunities toearn hours towards the law school's Public Service program.
VVe are a nearly 0O year old law school, founded in 1900. We have graduated more than 12,000 many
of whom practice law in Orange County. We have many sitting Judges and Commissioners. Wouldn't it
be great for the City of Tustin to be the home of Orange County's oldest law school?
On @ De[SOO@l level, I COnlnlUte nearly 50 miles each way. Although it is not much,
the Redhill lOC@tiOO is @ few less miles, and is nlUCh more "freeway ClOSe"
We will be @VVOOde[fUl addition to the Tustin COnlnlUOitV and I @nl asking that the
COnlnliSSiOO please approve this project as D[ODOSed bVWeStCliffUniversity.
