We've reached nearly 25% of our $150 million goal for Bold Thinking: The Campaign for San Francisco State.
FROM THE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT
November is an extremely active month for SF State and the Foundation. On this week's calendar alone we have the School of Nursing's 60th Anniversary Celebration on November 2 at Carolands Chateau, the Guardian Scholars’ 10th Anniversary Kick-Off generously hosted by Nancy Fudem on November 4, the President's Dinner and Alumni Hall of Fame Event on November 6 at the Ritz Carlton, the SF State Alumni and Family Day on November 7 on the SF State campus, and the College of Ethnic Studies 46th Anniversary Celebration on November 8 also on the campus. These events present excellent opportunities to engage alumni and expand the University's growing circle of friends and supporters.
Meanwhile, momentum for the campaign continues to grow, and the results to date (noted above) are encouraging. When we consider the campaign's very tangible impact on our University community, we have even more reason to be excited about and proud of the work we are doing. The fact remains, we still have a long road ahead of us to reach our goal. With your help, the journey will be successful and fulfilling for all of us.
