This year, we celebrate 50 years of academic excellence at California State University, Stanislaus. A half century ago, classes began at the Turlock campus with 15 faculty and less than 800 students. Since then, we have grown to more than 8,600 students. CSU Stanislaus has seen its academic reputation grow as well. The Princeton Review ranked the University among the nation's best 371 colleges. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities placed CSU Stanislaus among the nation’s 12 most outstanding graduation and retention rates. In addition to growing in size and reputation, recently the University benefitted from its most successful fundraiser ever. The Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Fundraising Gala netted more than $207,000 in cash for student scholarships. Demand for tickets was so high, the fundraiser sold out within two weeks, then seating capacity was expanded and more tickets were sold. I was pleased to see so many alumni at the fundraiser. In these difficult economic times, when people have less to give, it was a big success. We have also continued the tradition of bringing notable and diverse voices to campus. In addition to the well-publicized keynote address by Governor Sarah Palin at the gala, we heard two very timely voices at this year’s commencement ceremony. CIA Director Leon Panetta and hip-hop scholar Dr. Marc Lamont Hill both spoke of the importance of public service and being active participants in an ever-changing world. As Dr. Hill said, “We can never move forward unless we appreciate the struggle.” Today’s economy has been a struggle for years, not only for the University, but for the entire state. We have all had to make difficult decisions, and more lie ahead. This past year has forced us to become a leaner, more efficient university. Once we start to feel the results of an economic turnaround and return to growth mode, this time of limited resources and constant evaluation will help us determine how best to serve students and this region. Thank you for supporting CSU Stanislaus and its efforts to serve students and the region. I look forward to seeing you at the next fundraiser. Regards, Hamid Shirvani, Ph.D. |
