The following
statement can be attributed to CSU Chancellor Mildred García:
"Our hearts go out to all of those impacted by the devastating wildfires currently ravaging Southern California, including students, faculty, staff and other members of the California State University community. At the CSU system office and across our Southern California university campuses, we are closely monitoring the situation and are in regular communication with our students and employees to ensure their safety and well-being and to make them aware of the resources available to them. Additionally, as in all times of crisis, the CSU stands ready to serve as a resource to local officials, first responders and to all members of our extended campus communities."
About the California State University
The California State University is the nation's largest four-year public university system, providing transformational opportunities for upward mobility to more than 460,000 students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. More than half of CSU students are from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, and more than one-quarter of undergraduates are first-generation college students. Because the CSU's 23 universities provide a high-quality education at an incredible value, they are rated among the best in the nation for promoting social mobility in national college rankings from U.S. News & World Report, the Wall Street Journal and Washington Monthly. The CSU powers California and the nation, sending more than 125,000 career-ready graduates into the workforce each year. In fact, one in every 20 Americans holding a college degree earned it at the CSU. Connect with and learn more about the CSU in the CSU newsroom.
