SFSU's University Advancement

Our strategic goals are to strengthen awareness and support among the University's key stakeholders, build a culture of philanthropy in support of SFSU, and instill well-deserved pride in University accomplishments. We accomplish this through coordinated and integrated efforts in communications, development, alumni relations and advancement services and operations, and in close collaboration with the SFSU Foundation Board of Directors.
