A Letter from the President
Dear Friends,
Every year, students from a wide variety of backgrounds come to CSUN on a path to realize their dreams. These students, nearly 40,000 attending each semester, go on to meaningful careers, become leaders in their communities, and become the creators that shape our understanding of the world.
CSUN is known for its ability to transform lives and uplift communities. This has made us a philanthropic destination — in recent years, we’ve attracted more donors than ever before, and we’ve received some of the largest gifts in our history. Donors know that giving to CSUN is an investment in an equitable future.
Your support enables visionary projects like our Global Hispanic Serving Institution Equity Innovation Hub, which gives students from underrepresented backgrounds opportunities in science and innovation. Donations provide scholarships for students in all fields of study, such as nursing students on the front lines of public health and accounting students who prepare free tax returns for low-income residents. When students are enabled to achieve their potential, they not only transform their own lives, they change their family trees and uplift entire communities.
Your generosity makes this all possible, and we thank you.
With gratitude,
Erika D. Beck, Ph.D. President
