About
In 2005, Harriet and Harvey Bookstein (’70) took a bold and visionary step in creating the Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation at CSUN. Mr. Bookstein, CPA, a prominent practitioner and a philanthropist in the Los Angeles area for many years, has embarked on this initiative as a platform for transforming the tax curriculum at California State University, Northridge and beyond.
In 2007, the Bookstein Institute was formally launched by welcoming the first cohort of students in the newly designed graduate program in taxation. A year later, the Bookstein Institute opened its door to the community by offering free representation to low income taxpayers facing collection, audits and other disputes with the Internal Revenue Service.
