Listen

From the coast to the hills of San Marcos
We are Cougars hear us growl
Climbing the stairs to victory
Throw up your Tukwut towel

From the coast to the hills of San Marcos
We are Cougars let’s get loud
Our teams are making history
They always make us proud

Watch out for our bite
We are not afraid to fight

Stay True! (clap) (clap) Bleed Blue! (clap) (clap)
Stay True! (clap) (clap) Bleed Blue! (clap) (clap)

Go CSUSM
Cougars. Fight. Win.

History

In the Spring of 2016, CSUSM hosted a contest to create the campus' first-ever fight song. The winning entry, voted in by students and alumni, was created by a team of students and staff from Student Life and Leadership. The music was composed by Matthew Armstrong, Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator for the San Marcos Unified School District. The song was unveiled at the Grand Opening of the Sports Center on September 1, 2016.
