Graduate Studies Orientation

On August 20, 2025, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research proudly hosted the 19th Annual Graduate Studies Orientation, welcoming our incoming graduate students into the CSUSM community. The evening was filled with energy, connection, and inspiration as students had the opportunity to hear from campus leadership, alumni, and peers, as well as explore resources to support their success. Highlights included the Welcome Convocation, resource fair, campus tours, and a chance to meet our very own Crash the Cougar.

We are so grateful to all our campus partners, alumni, and student leaders who helped make this event a success and to our new graduate students for bringing their excitement and enthusiasm.

If you were unable to attend the Orientation in-person, please contact gradstudies@csusm.edu for access to our Virtual Orientation.
