A Word from the President

Hello, everyone!

I want to extend warm greetings to you, our dedicated alumni, donors, community members and friends of the University.

We have reached the halfway point of our academic year. The fall semester flew by, and it was full. I’m thrilled to share that our spring semester has been equally active.

Every day, I see reminders that illustrate how Stan State is one of the most amazing places I have had the privilege of working. I’ve seen the power of our collective efforts and the ways in which we are changing the world.

I could fill a book with page after page of stories from alumni, students, faculty, staff and donors who’ve shared heartfelt stories about our impact on their lives and in the community. I am grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to meet many of you at campus and community events.

There are so many incredible things happening at Stan State. From the start of construction on a new academic building at our Stockton Campus to innovative initiatives that are shaping our University’s bright future. Our journey is filled with progress and promise.

You will read about some of our progress in this issue of STAN Magazine. We are proud to highlight our campus community members who are making a difference and delighted to bring to you their inspiring stories of excellence and achievement.

I’ve said this before: I’ve often thought about what makes Stan State really special, and for me, it’s the people, our community and the students we serve. We are building a lasting legacy and helping to positively shape life in the Central Valley and beyond.

Warm regards,

Susan E. Borrego, Ph.D.

Interim President
