The Campaign Initiatives

The Campaign for SDSU leverages the university’s strengths and reinforces the synergy with the San Diego region.

Thanks to the early generosity of alumni and friends, SDSU is on track to meet the $500 million goal. But the most crucial stage of this campaign is still ahead.

The four campaign initiatives build upon SDSU’s century-old tradition of enriching student lives, while also strengthening the San Diego region’s 21st-century economy.
