Public funding for @calstate is a high-return investment for CA: In 2023–24 the CSU drove $31.6B in economic activity. Every $1 the state invests in the CSU returns $7.69—or $35 including alumni, whose degrees added $97.8B in wages. Calstate.edu/Impact #CSUImpact

Congrats to tennis great, civil rights activist and champion for gender equity @BillieJeanKing on her graduation from @CalStateLA. Decades after leaving college to pursue professional tennis, she’s now earned her B.A. in history – an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late.

The CSU remains one of the most affordable 4-year university systems in the nation because of state support. Continued investment helps keep tuition low and expands opportunity for Californians.

As part of #CSUHillWeek, CSU students are engaging directly with leaders across Washington, D.C. through a student leadership luncheon focused on careers in public service and #HigherEd advocacy. These experiences create opportunities to connect with CSU alumni on Capitol Hill.
