Over the course of my first year as chancellor of the California State University, I have witnessed firsthand the generosity of our donors and the impact it has on the students we are so privileged to serve. I would like to offer my heartfelt gratitude and deepest appreciation for your continued confidence in our ability to elevate lives, families, communities and our state through the transformative power of higher education.
A life-changing college degree can benefit generations. We educate the most ethnically, economically and academically diverse student population in the nation, and nearly one-third of CSU students are the first in their families to attend college. The CSU continues to serve as a national model for social mobility, consistently appearing atop national rankings, demonstrating the power of the CSU to propel its students toward the brighter future to which they aspire and that they so richly deserve.
This year’s gifts will empower us to push the envelope on innovation and student success, meeting each student where they are and supporting them through graduation and beyond, into a meaningful and fulfilling career or graduate school.
I am thrilled to share the stories of donor support during the 2023-24 fiscal year—and again offer my deepest appreciation for your generosity.
Again, thank you for your extraordinary commitment to the CSU, our students and our mission.
Mildred García, Ed.D.
Chancellor
The California State University
