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

These flexible, career-focused degree options help adult, returning and working learners earn a degree without some of the extensive prerequisites required by traditional B.A. and B.S. programs. Read more: calstate.edu/csu-system/news… #FundTheCSU to expand flexible learning pathways.

Did you know the CSU awarded 53% of California’s general #engineering bachelor’s degrees in 2024? From classrooms to industry leadership, CSU alumni are driving innovation across the state—including @autodesk CEO @andrew_anagnost (@csunorthridge’87). 🔗calstate.edu/csu-system/news…

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.

I extend my sincere gratitude to our CSU trustees who traveled to Sacramento last week to advocate for continued fiscal and legislative support on behalf of our students, faculty and staff. And thank you to the 11 legislative leaders who took the time to meet with our trustees.

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.

Thank you to @SpeakerPelosi for graciously taking time out of her busy schedule to join us at the CSU’s Hill Week kick-off reception. I am deeply grateful for her decades of bold, principled leadership and for her steadfast support of public higher ed and @calstate. Mil gracias.
Was honored to join @CalState leaders and students for their Hill Week reception. CSU has prepared the next generation to lead by empowering students from @SFSU and across California to pursue their dreams—work that has never been more important.

Thanks to @SenAlexPadilla and @SenAdamSchiff for taking the time to meet with Team CSU during our annual #CSUHillWeek.   The #CalState community is deeply grateful for the senators’ support as we continue advocating for federal investment in critical programs like the Pell Grant.

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.
