Discover CSUSM Volunteer Form and Information
The Office of Recruitment and Outreach invites you to join us as we host Discover CSUSM on Saturday, Oct. 14! Discover CSUSM is our annual Fall Open House where we showcase what CSUSM has to offer to prospective high school seniors and colleges transfers who are ready to apply to college.
The format of the event will be different from previous years:
- Focus will be on resources needed to apply to CSUSM.
- An application workshop will be held throughout the event to help students troubleshoot any issues they may have during the application process.
