University Advancement’s mission and purpose is to help make the connections that create lasting relationships with alumni, with legislators, with donors and with community members, while sharing our collective story internally and externally. Our goal is to make as many meaningful connections as possible, share CSUSM's message as often as we can, and build a foundation of philanthropic support that will secure our University and region's future.

In this issue of "Advancing CSUSM" you will get a peek inside some of the work we have accomplished - in partnership with you - to promote and support our faculty, students and University.
