Public funding for @calstate is a high-return investment for CA: In 2023–24 the CSU drove $31.6B in economic activity. Every $1 the state invests in the CSU returns $7.69—or $35+ including alumni, whose degrees added $97.8B in wages. #CSUImpact

Dolores Huerta lived an extraordinary life defined by decades of service, sacrifice and an unwavering commitment to justice. ... She leaves behind a legacy as vast as the farmlands that stretch across California's Central Valley ...

RT @calstate: When it comes to the value of #HigherEducation, the CSU’s 22 universities deliver impressive, tangible and meaningful returns on students’ investment of tuition dollars and time: The CSU’s ROI is simple yet transformative: Students pay one of the nation’s most affordable tuition rates, most graduate without debt, many earn back their investment within a few years, and CSU campuses lead California in moving low- and moderate-income students up the economic ladder. And the CSU does this for approximately 125,000 graduates every year. 🎓

I’m profoundly honored and humbled to be recognized alongside so many outstanding leaders this #HispanicHeritageMonth. Mil gracias. ❤️
