Advocacy at CSUF

Courtney Patterson '03Cal State Fullerton engages in advocacy to promote the issues and interests of our university, the CSU and higher education. In the past year, our advocacy efforts have included garnering support to grant the education doctorate, raising awareness on the impact of the CSU on California's workforce and economic development, and promoting the value of higher education.

To further enhance our advocacy efforts we have a new website: www.fullerton.edu/advocacy . Please take a moment to navigate through the various features, and share it with friends. The advocacy website is an online vehicle for informing and engaging individuals interested in advocacy efforts, and will hopefully serve as a valuable resource. Also, join Titan Advocates and get engaged in our campus advocacy program.  If you have any questions, please send an email to fteves@fullerton.edu
