SDSU’s Center for Skateboarding, Action Sports, and Social Change and The Skatepark Project are now partners under a new agreement designed to promote the mental, physical and social benefits of skateboarding culture.

SDSU has, for the first time, been designated an R1 university, a category historically reserved for top-tier, research-intensive doctoral degree-granting universities.

San Diego State University, which has student career fairs this month, is set to transform career services with an innovative new approach with a prestigious grant from Strada Education Foundation.

The partnership, signed this month, will grant guaranteed transfer eligibility to Kumeyaay Community College students interested in completing four-year degrees at SDSU.

As part of a $4.6 million allocation going to universities across the CSU system, SDSU will receive $125,000 to support Black student success.

New research and donor funds are drastically growing the university’s research enterprise and impact at a time when the university is also diversifying its faculty.

SDSU student-athletes regularly receive recognition for their athletic and academic performance and other successes thanks also to the investments made by athletic leadership, staff and coaches.

Throughout the strategic plan, teams have driven new or expanded efforts to drive sustainability and reduce environmental impacts.

Since the launch of the strategic plan, many new student centers, scholarships, basic needs efforts and other services have been introduced at SDSU and SDSU Imperial Valley to aid undergraduate and graduate students.

The strategic plan has resulted in an enhanced model for SDSU communications with new centralized resources, more staff support for academic colleges, an expansive database of marketing resources and more – all driving high records of university visibility nationally and internationally.
