Supporting Student Success Through Equity

Equity is promoted by lifelong learning, enabling upward economic mobility as students expand their learning moving through the workforce. Equity is maximized by intentional re-enrollment efforts supporting GI2025 and other initiatives.

Supporting Student Success Through Access

Access is maximized through multiple and innovative teaching and learning modalities. CSU campuses provide access to regional partners and employers to support and guide the adult learner and workforce development.

Supporting Student Success Through Achievement

Achievement is celebrated by meeting our students where they are. Graduates from our campuses live and thrive in proximity to CSU campuses. Life-long learning through a continuum of training, academic programs and certifications is vital.
