The campus presidents of the California State University system have numerous responsibilities as the chief executive officers of their respective institutions, as the primary liaison between the university and the greater community, and as the public "face" of the institution. The presidents maintain a close working relationship with the CSU's systemwide office, reporting to the chancellor and representing the campus on the systemwide Executive Council.
