Campus Advisory Committee

CSUF launched a campus Advisory Committee to provide input and oversight to the repatriation process. One of the major tasks of the Committee is drafting, reviewing, and refining the CSUF Repatriation Policy. The policy will help guide CSUF’s repatriation efforts with clear processes, expectations, and goals.
