William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement

The California State University is proud to present the 2011 recipients of the William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement.

The personal stories of these students are inspiring. They have each overcome tremendous life challenges to pursue a college degree.

Yet, while their commitment, drive and perseverance are extraordinary, these students are not unlike the thousands of students who look to the CSU each year for high-quality, accessible, and affordable educational opportunities.

The CSU congratulates this year's winners whose talent, determination and drive will help build and sustain California's future.
